Gubei Water Town in suburban Beijing boasts the perfect combination of mountains, water, and ancient villages. In June, it was designated a national-level tourist resort by China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, marking it as the first of its kind in the Chinese capital.
Situated at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall, one of the steepest sections of the Great Wall, Gubei Water Town is home to Gubeikou, a major strategic pass on the route to the ancient capital of Beijing. This picturesque destination offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance, making it a must-visit spot for travelers seeking both adventure and cultural immersion.
