Activity itinerary

Jinshanling Great Wall

Your friendly tour guide will meet you right in your hotel lobby at your prearranged time, then whisk you directly to Jinshanling Great Wall—no hassle, just a smooth start. The roughly 2-hour drive flies by: your guide will share fascinating Great Wall history and stories along the way, while you soak in the idyllic countryside views outside the window. Once you arrive, you’ll step into Jinshanling Great Wall—a crowd-free treasure&one of the best-preserved Great Wall sections, always captivating hikers. Stretching east to Simatai and west to Gubeikou, this section dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1389) and was later rebuilt under General Qi Jiguang—a living piece of history. With over 100 ancient enemy towers dotting its length, every step tells a story: your guide will hike with you, share these tales, help snap photos, or even keep an eye on the kids. You’ll have 2-3 hours to savor this peaceful, scenic spot—no pushing through crowds, just you and the Great Wall’s timeless charm

Gubei Water Town

After a satisfying dinner, you’ll head straight to Gubei Water Town—just a 30-minute drive away, so the relaxation keeps flowing. Accompanied by your guide, you’ll start a leisurely walking tour to uncover the town’s unique charms: modeled after the iconic Wuzhen Water Town of southern China, Gubei Water Town is divided into 6 distinct areas, including the Old Barracks Area, Minguo Street Area, and Water Street Area. As you wander, you’ll stumble upon charming boutiques, mouthwatering local eateries, and distinctive hotels—each corner holding a little surprise to make your evening unforgettable.

Simatai Great Wall

Afterwards, you’ll take a cable car up to the top of Simatai Great Wall—an effortless ride to one of the most magical night views. If you’d love to catch the sunset over Simatai, your guide will thoughtfully adjust the itinerary timing to ensure you don’t miss this stunning moment. Here, few well-preserved watchtowers are open to visitors after dark: you’ll get free time to wander as warm lanterns light up the Great Wall’s path, casting a soft glow over the ancient stones. From the top, you can also overlook the entire Gubei Water Town below, its lights twinkling like stars—truly a view you’ll remember forever. When the night’s magic comes to an end, we’ll drive you back to your centrally located Beijing hotel, wrapping up this fantastic day of history, scenery, and unforgettable moments.
