Gubei Water Town Tours 2024/2025
Looking to add a relaxing holiday experience to your historical and cultural exploration in Beijing? Head to Gubei Water Town, a scenic spot with breathtaking views of the Great Wall and landscapes reminiscent of the water towns in the Yangtze Delta. A wealth of experiences can be enjoyed, including strolling through the tranquil town, taking a boat ride, watching light shows or engaging in local cultural activities. Whether you visit by day or night, the experience is truly unforgettable.
How to Plan A Gubei Water Town Tour: We recommend starting with 3-4 days in Beijing to fully experience its landmarks, including the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and the historic Hutongs. After that, spend one day in Charming Gubei Water Town. Consider a nighttime visit to the Simatai Great Wall, if you want to marvel at the illuminated wall and the entire town aglow with lights. Nearby Jinshanling Great is also recommended for a half day's visit, as it is known as the most beautiful section of the Great Wall of China.
