Begin your adventure with pickup from your Beijing downtown hotel and travel for about two hours to Gubei Water Town. Your tour guide will explain the related stories along the way.
Built at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall, Gubei Water Town used to be an important military site and attracted numerous literati and hosted more than 3 emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now it is becoming a popular resort for photographers and foodies. Upon arrival, get ready to discover many old-style houses, shops and eateries, stop to enjoy a meal in one of the restaurants, and then start your Great Wall experience.
Take the cable car up to the Simatai Great Wall to make the journey easy. Then, enjoy hiking up this steep and wild stretch of the Great Wall to discover its historical relics and take in the breathtaking views you'll find at every turn. If you choose the afternoon departure time, you will have the chance to watch the sunset over the Simatai Great Wall.
After the tour, you'll be transferred back to your hotel or anywhere in Beijing city.
