The ancient town is picturesque

Beijing's Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall Although Gubei Water Town is an artificially constructed ancient town, the Simatai Great Wall is an original section of the Great Wall, preserving the ancient architectural ruins of the Ming Dynasty. The Simatai Great Wall is located within Gubei Water Town, where you can take a cable car and then hike up, or you can walk the entire way. There is also the option of a night tour of the Great Wall. Gubei Water Town is considered a particularly poor value tourist spot, with a low cost-performance ratio, but it is quite suitable for photography. When it's not crowded, it's quite photogenic. The facilities are complete, transportation is convenient, and it is a relatively mature commercialized tourist area.

Great Wall At Simatai

🌟The Simatai Great Wall is located near Gubei Water Town. 👏🏻This is another favorite section of mine. The natural scenery is stunning, surrounded by mountains, and you can also see the ancient Gubei Water Town. ⛰️ 📍This section of the wall is quite steep. In some parts, you need to carefully step up and down. Unlike the Mutianyu section, this wall hasn't been restored, making it shorter and more difficult to walk on. It can be quite thrilling as there's nothing to hold onto on the sides, and the wall isn't as beautiful. 👍🏻However, the advantage of this section is that it's less crowded and the natural scenery is more beautiful. It's also a section that can be visited at night, but it was very cold when we went, so we couldn't enjoy the night view. ❄️ Overall, it's another impressive section of the Great Wall because you get to visit both the Great Wall and Gubei Water Town. 💕
