Simatai Great Wall building - Wangjing Tower

"Wangjing Tower, the 16th floor in the east, is 986 meters above sea level. It is the highest beacon tower in Simatai Great Wall and the commanding height of Beijing cultural relics. It stands at the top of Tiger Mountain, looking like an awl from afar, straight into the blue sky. According to local people, once upon a time, standing on this upstairs, you can faintly see the outline of Beijing, and you can also see thousands of lights in Beijing at night, hence its name. Looking down from the tower, you can you can look down on the hills around from the top. You can see "fog and snow" in the east, "crouching tiger of Panlong" in the west, "green Yanshan Mountain" in the north and "Pearl of Reservoir" in the south.
It is no easy task to climb Wangjing Tower. An experiencer once wrote a poem saying, "The ladder towers into the clouds, and the overpass hangs between the clouds. It is difficult to climb on Wangjing Tower in the graceful fairy tower. Now Wangjing Tower is dangerous, which has been renovated and reinforced twice. In order to protect cultural relics and personal safety, I hope tourists don't try to take risks. From a distance, it is enough to enjoy its magnificence and majesty.
When it comes to Wangjing Tower, we can't help but mention the late Comrade Wang Yeqiu, director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. He was one of the main founders and pioneers of the cultural relics cause in New China, and made immortal feats for the cultural relics cause in New China. At the same time, he forged deep connections with cultural relics and the Great Wall. According to his will, in October 1987, Mr. Luo Zhewen accompanied Comrade Yeqiu's family and scattered his ashes on the top of Wangjing Tower. Comrade Wang Yeqiu is buried in Wangjing Tower, and his loyal soul still guards his career, which is an incentive and promotion for Simatai's Great Wall protection work. "
