What To Expect
Gubei Water Town
Gubei Water Town surrounds the beautiful Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir and leans against the Simatai Great Wall, the most dangerous and majestic section of the entire Great Wall. Regarded as 'Wuzhen in Beijing', Gubei Water Town boasts a combination of mountains, water and ancient villages. Most buildings are reconstructed in the traditional courtyard style. Based on five ancient villages and a water resource, this water town has developed into a large-scale sightseeing and holiday destination.
Simatai Great Wall
The Simatai Great Wall(司马台长城 Sīmǎtái Chángchéng) is largely in its original state, as it has not undergone much renovation like other sections near Beijing.It is situated in Miyun County, 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) northwest of downtown Beijing.This particular section, built in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), is 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) long, with the Jinshanling Great Wall to the west. It is really a tough hike to climb the wall, but it is enormously rewarding.

Magical day in Gubei Water Town

5.00We could not have had a better day. This excursion was so worth the 2/2.5 hour drive from Beijing. Our driver was great - he set us up with all of the tickets we needed when we got there. The Simatai section of the Great Wall is so incredible. There were very few other people (unlike the large crowds at other sections) and the views from the wall were breathtaking. Water Town is just magical. We made sure to do the tour later in the day so we would be able to walk through Water Town after sunset when it is lit up. Again, the town was not at all crowded. The town itself is so clean and well maintained - it looks like it was just built. We did a boat ride from the entrance to the other end of the town where the cable car to get up to the wall was. After going to the wall, we strolled through Water town and had a great meal. Next time we visit China we plan on staying in one of the many hotels in Water Town so we can really explore the town.

5.00Overall excellent service from this company. Benny reached out to me within an hour after I booked for this service, and he was informative and flexible to the unpredictable weather situation. Mr. Su Debin was my driver and was extremely friendly and made extra effort to inform me despite the language barrier. I highly recommend choosing this company for their professional and courteous services.
Great day with great driver.
