Overview

Embark on an unforgettable evening escape from Beijing to the lantern-lit canals of Gubei Water Town and the rugged ramparts of Simatai Great Wall under the stars. Departing at 2:30 PM, you’ll travel in a private luxury vehicle with a dedicated English-speaking guide and chauffeur, arriving just as the sun dips below the horizon. Experience free nightly drone shows choreographed to music and thrilling acrobatics performances beside the Great Wall. Try your hand at traditional crafts—kite-making, paper-cutting, or fabric-dyeing—or, in winter months, unwind in natural hot springs. Return to your Beijing hotel by 10:30 PM, refreshed and inspired. Perfect for young couples, families, and anyone craving a taste of Chinese heritage after dark.
