Gubei water town

Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Beijing at 7AM. You will then proceed to Gubei Water Town, located at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall in Miyun, Beijing. This ancient water town, built in the Ming and Qing dynasty styles, combines the grandeur of the North with the delicate beauty of the South. The blue-stone cobblestone paths, small bridges over flowing streams, traditional workshops, and the night views of the hot springs create a harmonious scene, earning it the nickname “the Wuzhen of the North.”

The adjacent Simatai Great Wall is the only section of the Great Wall in China that retains its original Ming Dynasty appearance. Renowned for its perilous terrain, dense construction, unique features, ingenious design, and complete preservation, it features rugged mountains and steep staircases. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is considered the most pristine and essential section of the Great Wall.

With a historic town and a section of the Great Wall intertwined amidst the natural landscape, blending the past and present, this is the most distinctive tourist destination in the Beijing suburbs.

A local tea house

We will sample several varieties of high-quality Chinese tea and participate in a lively and engaging tea ceremony at a tea house, lasting approximately 25 minutes.
