You can take a shuttle bus from Dongzhimen in Beijing to Gubei Water Town!
If you don’t have a car, booking the shuttle is a must🗓️

Especially in autumn and winter, it gets really cold🥶
Heat-tech + long coat or padded jacket recommended!

🛌 4. A day trip is possible, but staying overnight is much better
To fully enjoy the hot springs, night views, and the Great Wall, staying overnight is a must!

You can find them at small food courts scattered around😋
