Can I access Jinshanling from Simatai?

Yes, you can. Generally, it takes around 4 hours to hike between.

Thank you Anna! I was wondering if the West part is closed since they were rebuilding parts of it?

Julie, as I know, this hiking route has been officially closed. But if you insist to go, you can find a local guide leading you to a short-cut to the Wall. However, personally it is still not advised to do so, for this part of wall has been severely damaged, making the hiking very dangerous.

Thank you very much Piers!
