Itinerary

1. Gubei Water Town
Often dubbed the "Venice of the East," Gubei Water Town is a picturesque water village nestled at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall. As night falls, the town transforms into a luminous wonderland. Highlights include: * Traditional Architecture & Scenic Canals: Wander through cobblestone streets lined with ancient-style buildings, cross charming stone bridges, and enjoy boat rides along tranquil canals, capturing the essence of traditional northern Chinese towns. * Cultural Attractions: Visit the Yongshun Dye House to try your hand at traditional dyeing techniques and explore the Sima Liquor Distillery to learn about and sample China's famous baijiu liquor. * Evening Entertainment: Experience the vibrant night scene with performances such as Peking Opera or acrobatics at the Grand Theater, and enjoy the stunning light and drone shows over Sun Moon Square.
Duration: 120 mins
2. Simatai Great Wall
Ascend to the Simatai Great Wall, situated approximately 1,200 meters above sea level, and renowned for its steep, rugged Ming Dynasty architecture. * Experience the wall like few do—with evening illumination from 5:30 PM in winter or 7:30 PM in summer, lasting until 9:30 PM. * Scenic Cable Car Ride: Skip the steep ascent with a cable car to Tower 5, unlocking panoramic views of Gubei Water Town lit up below. * Exclusive Night Access: Explore the atmospheric section between Towers 5 and 6—open only during evening hours—for a more authentic and intimate Great Wall experience. * Illuminated Mountain Views: Walk along the golden-lit Wall snaking over rugged peaks, reflecting off Gubei’s nightscape—and on clear nights, even the distant glow of Beijing city lights at Tower 16. * Photographer’s Dream & Romantic Escape: With fewer crowds, mystical lighting, and cool evening breezes, this nighttime tour is perfect for long-exposure shots and romantic strolls.
