Located in the hills northeast of Beijing, Gubei Water Town is a peaceful and scenic getaway near the famous Simatai Great Wall. With its traditional stone houses, quiet canals, charming bridges, and mountain backdrop, it feels far from the busy city and offers a more relaxing side of China.
The town is lovely to explore on foot, with small streets lined by local shops, cafés, and courtyard-style hotels. During the day, visitors can enjoy boat rides along the canals, try local food, or simply take in the beautiful surroundings. In the evening, the town becomes even more special as lanterns light up the streets and reflect across the water.
One of the highlights of staying here is the chance to visit Simatai Great Wall, one of the most scenic sections near Beijing. Gubei Water Town is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and experience a different side of China in comfort and style.
