Facilities @ Simatai?

My first trip to Beijing will be during the Olympics this year. I am sure the Great Wall will be completely overrun with tourists. I am torn between Simatai and Mutianyu. My lingering question is.... Do both sections have toilet facilities. I read that Mutianyu does, but nothing about Simatai. Are there facilities along the Jinshanling-Simatai hike? Any help is appreciated.

No toilet facilities on Jinshanling-Simatai, just go wherever and whenever you feel like it.

Hi Michelle,



We hired a driver and went to Simatai. It was fantastic and the views are amazing. We did not see any toilet facilities (maybe they had something in a restaurant but if so, I would guess it would be a ';squat'; toilet.). Be prepared for some steep steps in some sections but it is a nice, less touristy section. There are some people trying to sell items (tshirts, chopstick sets, drinks, food, etc) so if u want to buy something while u r there, u will have some options. Enjoy! We loved our visit to Beijing!

Thank you for your help, but it looks like we will end up at Mutianyu. Hopefully, we will enjoy it just as much.





You guys have been a great help!
