On this day trip from Beijing, you'll explore the Gubei Water Town at your own pace and walk on the impressive trails of the Simatai section of the Great Wall of China. What a complete plan!
We'll meet at the meeting point that you chose during the booking process and from there, we'll kick off this unforgettable day trip from Beijing. During the entire journey, you'll have an English-speaking tour assistant who will share the necessary explanations about the area to make the most of the day.
After an approximately 2.5-hour bus ride, we'll reach our destination. From this moment, you'll have a total of 9 hours of free time to explore the Gubei Water Town and the Simatai section of the Great Wall of China at your own pace. The tour assistant will give the necessary recommendations, and you'll explore the sites entirely on your own.
In the Gubei Water Town, you'll enjoy the unique fusion of traditional Chinese architecture and a beautiful riverside landscape. With its cobblestone alleys, stone bridges, and canals, Gubei will absolutely captivate you. Among its attractions, we recommend visiting the Zhenyuan Escort, the Yongshun Dye House, the Samai Distillery, or the Eight Banners Hall.
At your own pace, you can reach the Great Wall of China, specifically the Simatai section. You'll see how it's one of the few parts of the wonder of the world that has preserved its original appearance since the Ming dynasty. In addition, given its location atop a hill, you'll enjoy incredible scenic views.
As you'll have plenty of free time, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the nocturnal charms of the site. You can marvel at the spectacular view of the illuminated Great Wall of China, explore the old streets under the streetlights, and attend the show of dancing fountains or the impressive drone exhibition.
Finally, we'll regroup at the parking lot of Gubei to start our journey back by bus. The day trip will conclude at the Shaoyaoju metro station in Beijing after 13.5 hours in total.
During the booking process, you'll need to select the meeting point in Beijing you would like to be picked up from:
