Simatai Section
司马台长城
Located on the boundary of Gubeikou Town,Miyun County,Beijing, and Luanping County,Hebei Province,the 19 kilometer Simatai began in the first year of the Ming Hong Wu reign. The design and construction of this section of the Great Wall are exquisite and striking. Every one of the 35 watchtowers is original and different.
司马台长城位于北京市密云县北部的古北口镇和河北滦平县古北口镇的交界。19公里的司马台长城始于明朝洪武统治的第一年。本部分长城的设计和施工的也细腻引人注目。35瞭望塔每一个都不类同。
The Tower for Viewing the Capital,986 meters above sea level, is constructed on sheer precipices, commanding a panoramic view of ''snow-capped Wuling" in the east, rolling mountains like ''crouching tigers and coiling dragons" in the west,a ''mirror-like reservoir" in the south and “verdurous Yanshan Mountain” in the north. Just as outstanding are the natural sceneries at Heavenly Ladder, Fairy Bridge, Heavenly Pool and the Spring of Mandarin Duck and Drake which compliment the scenes of the man-made Great Wall.
查看塔,海拔986米,建在陡峭的悬崖断壁,指挥全景，使得“积雪盖顶的五陵”在东部,群山像“老虎和龙”蹲在西方,水库像镜子 在南方和“碧绿的燕山在北部”。天梯,仙桥,天池和鸳鸯泉的自然景色恭维着人造长城。
