# Live: Embrace the splendor of the Simatai Great Wall in Beijing - Ep. 3

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by CGTN.

Perched on the steep ridges above Gubei Water Town in Beijing's Miyun District, the Simatai section of the Great Wall lies just around 120 kilometers from the city center. Featuring watchtowers and stone pathways preserved in their original Ming-era form, the ancient rampart winds like a sleeping dragon through the mountains. Through landmarks like Simatai, visitors can experience not only the timeless charm of Chinese civilization, but also a vivid and welcoming story of China.
