    • There are several sections worth visiting not too far from Beijing. Avoid Badaling and go to Simatai instead. There is also another section, that I cannot recall the name of right now, from where you can take a 5 hour hike to Simatai. I went with friends one day and we did not encounter any tourists during the entire hike. Wonderful views throughout the hike, well worth it!
