This private tour will take you to the Gubei Water Town and see the Great Wall at Simatai with lights on. The Gubei Water Town resembles the famous Water Town in the south of China, Wuzhen. It is a perfect place to enjoy the green mountain, water and ancient villages. The Simatai Great Wall is one of the most magnificent sections of the Wall in China, which is nicknamed by Great Wall specialist as the Great Wall of the Great Wall. It is also the only section of the Wall you can visit at night in Beijing. Two-way cable car rides and quality dinner inside the Water Town are also included for the tour.

What's included in the package

Itinerary

Gubei Water Town

Travel by private, climate-controlled vehicle to Gubei Water Town in Miyun County, about 96 miles (155 kilometers) from the city. Arrive at Gubei—an architectural replica of Wuzhen in Zhejiang province, one of China’s most famous water towns. Composed of picturesque canals, bridges, courtyard houses, shops, and hotels, all backed by mountains and the Simatai section of China’s Great Wall. Gubei is a delight to explore. Enjoy a walking tour around the lanes, watching the boats ply the waterways and admiring the quaint architecture. Follow your guide around the highlights and as the sun sets, sit down to a delicious dinner at a charming restaurant.

Admission Ticket Not Included

Simatai Great Wall

Duly refreshed, ride the cable car up to the Simatai Great Wall: the only part of the UNESCO-listed structure open to visitors at night in Beijing, and beautifully illuminated from dusk onward. Admire the lit-up ramparts tracing the steep spine of the mountains from your cable car, and then walk along the battlements. Then, descend by cable car and either choose to take a golf cart, walk, or take a boat ride (own expense) back to the parking lot. Finally, travel back Beijing where your trip ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

As we'd already done a day trip to the Badaling Section of the Great Wall during our first visit to China, we were intrigued by the thought of an unusual evening tour of the illuminated Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Great Wall, a tour which not many tour companies offered. Our Hotel pick up wa...

My husband and I have travelled to 33 countries during the last 10 years. We usually tour on our own but given the challenges of travelling in China, we decided to book the Viator tour of Gubei and the Great Wall. We were fortunate to get ShanShan as our guide. Her knowledge of Chinese history an...
