Do you think it would be better to do the walk from Gubeikou to Jinshanling an then Jinshanling to Simatai the next day?
You need to be used to hiking two days in a row. You also need to be able to find your way to the Great Wall in Gubeikou and then around the military area of the Great Wall, where you must trek through fields. A GPS is very helpful for this.

There is no issue of finding your way when hiking from Jinshanling to Simatai.
