GUBEI WATERTOWN 古北水镇
plus bonus hike up SiMaTai entrance of the Great Wall of China 司马台长城!
One of my most memorable day trip in Beijing,China.
Book this Day-Trip Tour via Trip.com. Details were clear as to which Train Station and exit to meet up with the guide whom very swiftly helped us with the tickets and recommendation as to whether to tour the Watertown or Trek the Greatwall depending on your personal tempo!
We chose to do a quick walk around the refurbished Watertown to catch a glimpse of its beauty in day light , and took the cable car to the mid point of Simatai Great Wall . This shorten our trek, yet allowed us to enjoy most parts in day light , and we didn’t need to rush to trek the Great Wall. The scenery was crazy! though the height do pose some adrenaline drive to some but it is all worth it! 
As the sun starts going down, we made our way down back to the Watertown. 
The Watertown we saw in daylight is now transformed ! 
with the lights all up it’s almost like it’s another city! There are amazing theatrical shows , ancient night market and even a public hot foot bath! 
This is a must visit!
