Tour Itinerary

Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall are located close to each other. Regarded as 'Wuzhen in Beijing', Gubei Water Town boasts a combination of mountains, water and ancient villages. Simatai Great Wall is one of the most primitive sections of the Great Wall. Unlike Badaling and Mutianyu Great Wall which has undergone extensive restoration, the wall at Simatai still kept its original appearance.
