Alternative to hike Jinshanling to Simatai?

Hi there,
I spent lot of time to decide what section of the Great Wall to hike and unluckily I chose Jinshanling to Simatai, which looks like it will be closed in August second week.
So what is the alternative for me which I would like to do it in one day leaving and coming back to Beijing using public transport? Assuming I am well fit and can hike for some hours and love onrestored wild section like Jinshanling.
Thanks a lot.

Well, you can hike Jiankou Great Wall instead, and you are advised to follow the route: Jiankou Spot – Ox Horn Edge Wall. This section is relatively steep, so you may make the full prepare before your trip.

Generally, if you start at Jiankou Spot, you may arrive at Wofo Mountain Villa first, which is the start point of your hiking. You should get to Dongzhimen Station by subway line 2 or line 13, and then take bus 936 at Dongzhimen Wai Station. Get off at Yujiayuan Station, and then transfer bus H36 to Xinying Station. Afterwards, you can walk north to the mountain villa.
