- Jinshanling Great Wall - The friendly tour guide will meet the guests in the hotel lobby at the scheduled time, ensuring a seamless journey to Jinshanling Great Wall. The approximately 2-hour drive is enjoyable as the guide shares intriguing stories and history of the Great Wall, while guests admire the picturesque countryside views. Upon arrival, visitors will explore Jinshanling Great Wall, a less crowded and well-preserved section that captivates hikers. Extending from Simatai to Gubeikou, this section, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1389), was later reconstructed under General Qi Jiguang. With over 100 ancient enemy towers, each step reveals a story. The guide will accompany the guests, sharing tales, taking photos, or watching over the children. Guests will have 2-3 hours to enjoy this serene and scenic location, free from crowds, allowing them to fully appreciate the Great Wall’s timeless allure.
- Gubei Water Town - Following a delightful dinner, guests will proceed to Gubei Water Town, just a 30-minute drive away, maintaining the relaxing atmosphere. Accompanied by the guide, they will embark on a leisurely walking tour to discover the town’s unique attractions. Modeled after the renowned Wuzhen Water Town of southern China, Gubei Water Town is divided into six distinct areas, including the Old Barracks Area, Minguo Street Area, and Water Street Area. As they explore, guests will encounter charming boutiques, delicious local eateries, and unique hotels, each corner offering a delightful surprise to make the evening memorable.
- Simatai Great Wall - Subsequently, guests will take a cable car to the top of Simatai Great Wall, providing an effortless journey to witness one of the most enchanting night views. If guests wish to see the sunset over Simatai, the guide will adjust the itinerary to ensure this breathtaking moment is not missed. A few well-preserved watchtowers are open to visitors after dark, allowing free time to wander as warm lanterns illuminate the Great Wall’s path, casting a gentle glow over the ancient stones. From the top, guests can overlook the entire Gubei Water Town below, its lights sparkling like stars, creating a truly unforgettable view. As the night’s enchantment concludes, guests will be driven back to their centrally located Beijing hotel, concluding a fantastic day filled with history, scenery, and unforgettable experiences.
