Gubei Water Town

Gubei Water Town is located on the northeast side of Miyun County in Beijing. This water town is about 2 hours drive from Beijing city. It is known for its northern architectural design and the culture and history of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China historic period. Majority of the buildings in the town have been reconstructed using the traditional courtyard design. This Watertown has grown from just 5 ancient villages and a water source into a renowned holiday destination. There are lots of food and gorgeous little shops to visit. Night view is exceptional. I highly recommend to be there at night. We had a fabulous experience. #ancientarchitecture #ancienttown #tripblazers #nightview #gubeiwatertown #beijing #china #lights

My boyfriend and I had a short trip to Miyun by motorcyle and we decided to make a stop at Gubei Water Town. I was amazed of the structure and architecture. You can see the ancient villages in this area. Many restaurants you can find around too. It is located on the Northeast side of Miyun County Beijing . It is about 140 kilometers from the Municipality of Beijing. #beijingtravel #tripinspired #tripmoments #chinabeauty #chinatravel #chinalife #gubeiwatertown #awesomepic #ancienttowns #ancientvillage

| Gubei Water Town. You can also feel the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River in Beijing. The Gubei Water Town in early autumn is also very charming. Every step is a scene, every scene is a painting. Casual shots are all ancient style paintings. - Attractions: There are many interesting shops and attractions in Gubei, such as Yongshun Dyeing Workshop, Yinghua Academy, Zhenyuan Escort, Baqi Guild Hall, Kite Culture Museum, etc. - Food: Dried vegetable pot helmet, hot dry noodles, bridge head cake, mutton skewers, octopus balls, tofu corner, radish cake, hot and sour noodles, hawthorn ice cream. - Wonderful performances: 🔹 Kongming lantern performance: The moment the drone carries the Kongming lantern to fly, it is very romantic, it is recommended to find a good viewing position in advance. 🔹 Light show performance: It is really worth seeing. At night, the lights are on the city tower. First, there is a music fountain ⛲️ performance, and then there will be very wonderful pictures on the city tower. It takes about 10 minutes. You really need to line up in advance to find a good position! 🔹 Acrobatic performance: There will be acrobatic 🤹 performances in the square from time to time, which are really amazing. The actors are all very dedicated to the performance 🎭! 💡 Night tour of the Simatai Great Wall, the night scene only opens two beacon towers, take the cable car 🚡 to and from the Great Wall, you can overlook the night view 🌃 of the entire Gubei Water Town, it is really too beautiful!

Gubei Water Town is named for its style reminiscent of Wuzhen, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, due to its location in Simatai Village, Gubeikou, Miyun, Beijing. Backed by the Simatai Great Wall, which is the most beautiful and dangerous in China, and embracing the Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir, it is a rare natural ancient village that combines mountains, water, and city on the outskirts of Beijing. The entire ancient town of Gubei Water Town was redeveloped based on the original three natural villages and is a modern newly built vacation-style town with unique northern characteristics. The town covers an area of 9 square kilometers and is divided into several areas: the Old Camp area, the Republic of China Street area, the Water Street area, the Wolong Fort Folk area, the Tang River Ancient Fort area, and the Homestay Dining and Hou Chuan Zen Valley, etc. The architectural style of the town is diverse and antique, with stone bridges, green tiles and white walls, and colorful folk stalls that dazzle the eyes. The clear river water flows between the streets and buildings of the ancient town, and at this moment, the fishing boats sail past you, presenting a unique waterside scenery. People praise this place as the 'Southern Yangtze River under the blue sky and white clouds of the north'!

If you've never been to Jiangnan, Gubei Water Town is also a good choice. The place is super photogenic, and the scenery inside is quite nice. There are also some Jiangnan snacks like tofu corners, plum cakes, dried vegetable buns, wontons... (But the prices inside are extremely high, a bottle of water costs 8 yuan Climbing the Great Wall at night is one of the unique features of Gubei Water Town. You can take a ride up and down, and you only need to climb a short section. From the top of the mountain, you can see the entire water town scenery. There is a drone show at seven o'clock in the evening, which might be just an ordinary drone show and not very spectacular. But Gubei Water Town has a good location, backed by the Great Wall. Two phoenixes fly up from the side of the Great Wall, and with the mountain scenery, it is quite magnificent. Then there are sky lanterns rising from the square, with ancient buildings in the background, complementing each other. Then the drones form many patterns, with 'Happy May Day', '2024', 'Gubei Water Town', 'Simatai Great Wall'... a myriad of changes Gubei Water Town has already very much restored the feeling of the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan. But after all, it is different. Because I am originally from Shaoxing, I could tell from the first glance at the water town that most of the houses in the water town are made of stone bricks, while the houses in the Jiangnan water towns are mostly wooden structures. Moreover, Gubei Water Town has a heavier commercial atmosphere, while the real Jiangnan water towns are full of the breath of life. So if you have the time and energy, you should still visit Jiangnan. People's attachment to Jiangnan is not only for the architecture but also for the culture, history, and most importantly, the bustling scene of 'smoky willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and green screens, interspersed with a hundred thousand households'. Because I have always studied in the north, going to Gubei Water Town is also a way of forcibly feeling homesick, haha
