What to expect

  1. Gubei Water Town

    Your tour guide will meet you in your hotel lobby. It will take about 2 2-hour drive to Gubei Water Town. Upon arrival, you’ll first explore the charming Gubei Water Town, a picturesque destination designed in the style of an ancient northern village. The town is divided into several unique areas, including the Old Barracks Area, Republic of China (Minguo) Street, Water Street, and Wulong Lake Area, each offering its own atmosphere. Wander through quaint alleyways lined with boutique shops, craft workshops, and teahouses.
  2. Simatai Great Wall
    2h · Admission ticket included
    A visit to the Simatai Great Wall by night offers a truly unforgettable experience. Unlike any other section of the Wall, Simatai is beautifully illuminated after dark. Create a magical atmosphere as you walk along its ancient stones under the glow of lights and stars.

    Your tour includes a round-trip cable car ride, making it easy and comfortable to reach the higher sections while enjoying stunning views of both the Great Wall and the twinkling lights of Gubei Water Town below. Strolling on the wall at night is a rare chance to experience history in a calm, enchanting setting far from the daytime crowds.
