- There are local people selling bottled water and even Coco cola all along the wall. They generally charge four or five yuan for each. So you are recommended to carry some water at hand.
- It's really a long drive for about six hours to and back. We may be delayed by the traffic or something unforeseen, so don't come if you have something planned in the evening.
- It is likely to be very hot at noon under the sun from May to Oct., but there is always gentle breeze or even gale.
- Some parts of the way are really rough, the wall is broken and loose. So TAKE CARE, (and bring some medical bits).
- For the trekker from Jinshanlin: this is an A-B trek, the bus will waiting at the parking lot of Simatai. You will NOT be able to go in your own car (unless you also bring a driver), you won't be returning to the starting place.
- Mobile phones have limited coverage in the area, so if you see someone trekking alone, stay with them. This trip is to "smell the fresh air", rather than a competition.
