How we checked it
Verified · 2026-09-22
Sources agree on the town address, adult ticket around 120 (from 114 online), early-bird doubles needing one day's notice, and Simatai as the only Great Wall section in China open at night with 17:00-21:00 night hours. Night Great Wall pricing conflicts (160 versus 200 including cable car). Closing time conflicts between 21:00 and 22:30. Drone and lantern shows are scheduled events, not necessarily nightly.
