独具“险、密、奇、巧、全”五大特点的司马台长城，位于北京市密云县东北部的古北口镇境内，距北京120公里。它东起望京楼，西至后川口，全长5.4公里，敌楼35座，整段长城构思精巧，设计奇特，结构新颖，造型各异，堪称万里长城的精华。司马台长城又堪称中国长城之最。司马台长城1987年被列入世界遗产名录，是中国唯一保留明代原貌的古建筑遗址。Dangerous, mysterious, unique, brilliant, and all encompassing: the defining characteristics of the Simatai Great Wall, located in Gubeikou, Miyun County, 120 kilometres from Beijing. It starts from Wangjing in the east and chuankou in the west with the total length of 5.4 km and 35 towers in between. The unusual design, the various shapes and the sophisticated structure have made Simatai, for many, the epitome of the Great Wall. Being the longest wall in China, Simatai Great Wall was added to the World Heritage List in 1987 as the only ancient building which retains the original ruins of the Ming Dynasty.
