It stretches 5.4 kilometers (3.4 miles), and is separated into eastern part and western part by Mandarin Duck Lake. Simatai has 34 beacon towers, they are relatively close to each other, with the average distance apart about 140 meters (460 feet). Presently, only the eastern part from No. 1 Tower to No. 10 Tower has been restored and officially opened.
