Gubei Water Town
Gubei Water Town: A Riverside Retreat Under the Great Wall
Nestled in the mountainous Miyun District of Beijing, approximately a two-hour drive from the city center, Gubei Water Town offers a picturesque escape. Its most stunning feature is its dramatic backdrop: the majestic Simatai Great Wall, which snakes along the ridges high above the town. This unique positioning creates a breathtaking blend of watery southern Chinese charm and rugged northern grandeur.
The town itself is a beautifully constructed replica of a classic Jiangnan-style water town. Visitors can wander along ancient-style cobblestone lanes, cross graceful arched stone bridges, and glide on boats along serene canals. Beyond its scenic beauty, the town is alive with cultural experiences. Numerous workshops allow you to try traditional crafts like block printing, making rice wine, or creating sweet Bingtanghulu (candied fruit).

Simatai Great Wall
Unlike the heavily restored sections of the Great Wall closer to Beijing, Simatai offers a uniquely authentic and rugged experience. Its primary distinction lies in its remarkable preservation, allowing visitors to walk on original, centuries-old brickwork and witness the Wall's true, untamed character.
For many, the pinnacle of a Simatai visit is the Night Tour. As dusk falls, the wall is illuminated by soft golden lights, transforming it into a majestic, glowing dragon winding through the dark peaks. Walking this illuminated section is a serene and almost magical experience, offering a perspective completely different from the daytime. Access to the night tour is conveniently managed via a cable car ride from the base at Gubei Water Town.
