Overview

Do you have an 8-hour layover in Beijing late in the evening? Believe it or not, you can still see the Great Wall at night on your layover.

Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from the airport and send you straight to Gubeikou Water Town to see the entire water town lit up at night giving you a backdrop clear view of Simatai Great Wall and the stars too!! Walking through the ancient water town admire green waters running across rows of ancient residential houses and listen to the guide's commentaries then get to the foot of Simatai Wall and start your excursion on this steep and treacherous wall riding the cable car up (very convenient) to admire the awe-inspiring original appearance of wall blended with changing dramatic views beautifully lit up by lanterns.

Gubeikou Water Town

Simatai Great Wall

Gubeikou Water Town

  Gubei Water Town is located at Gubeikou in Beijing's suburban Miyun district,at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall.With a history of more than a thousand years,the water town,which covers an area of nine square kilometers,has been revitalized with new attractions.

  Gubei Water Town Scenic Area is divided into 2 sections:Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall. Simatai Great Wall was closed for renovation since June 2010.These 2 sections reopen to receive visitors on January,2014.

  In the town center,an ancient stage comes to life with regular performances with traditional features.There are 2 hotels and 4 guesthouses for those who want to stay and experience the town's night views.The water town,built on the site of five sub-villages of Simatai village,consists of six areas including Minguo Street and the water street area.

  The water street area is one of the town's highlights and vividly brings to life the watertowns of Jiangnan by reproducing winding rivers,waterfront houses,arched stonebridges,cobblestone and stone slab paths,old buildings and folk culture.

  As part of the Scenic Area, the Simatai Great Wall has reopened to the public after more than three years'closure.This section of the Great Wall is one of the best-protected parts which keep the original features of the Ming dynasty'Great Wall.

  This place of interest is established based on five original villages,430,000 square meters of which are courtyards with an elegant style of the Republic of China. Spots open to the public include the blocks of the Republic of China,the Water Street,Wolongbao Folk Culture Area,Tanghe Old Village Area and Accommodation Area andso on. Gubei Water Town is the best place to appreciate the best preserved SimataiGreat Wall and experience folk culture at the foot of the Great Wall.

  


Simatai Great Wall

The Simatai Great Wall lies beside Gubeikou Town, in the northeast of Miyun County about 75 miles from Beijing. It stretches about three miles from the Wangjing Tower in the east to Chuanhoukou in the west. The wall is celebrated for its steepness, queerness and intactness.

 

Constructed under the supervision of Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it is the only part that still has the original appearance of the Ming Dynasty.

  This section has 34 beacon towers, with 18 in the western part and 16 in the eastern part. The two parts are divided by a lake, named the Mandarin Duck Lake.  Even in winter, the surface of the lake will never ice up. Based on this lake, the Gubei Water Town is built underneath the wall, so travelers can experience the beauty of water town and appreciate here the  grand Great Wall at the same time.

Yes everything was spectacular and fascinating very professional and prompt services. There were beautiful places to explore and to see in the 4 hours that we had. The comfort and beauty of the China was incredible, The history, culture and way of life of the local people we bumped into during the layover was beyond our expectations. Hiking on the Great wall after driving through a small remote countryside was very relaxing and rejuvenating. It was the best trip ever to experience on a few hours.

We had not previously used a travel agency for touring. The crew including the driver and tour guide were really funny, friendly and knowledgeable. Despite having limited time we still had free time allowing for shopping and grabbing a meal and drinks. Highly recommend this layover in Beijing.

Booking from South Africa on ChinaTour.net was so quick and easy, however I had to mail customer service as I had not received my confirmation within the 48 hours that the original mail had stated. Once done I received confirmation for all my train and internal flights within 20 minutes of sending the mail. I would highly recommend this website for booking trips through China and i will use it again in future.

Well worth it! Jenny was really nice and incredibly helpful with the immigration process after airport personnel originally escorted to the wrong area and didn’t want to allow leaving the airport. She takes great photos! Beautiful views and fun to take the toboggan down. Wasn’t too crowded on this day - and definitely worth doing with a 7 hour layover. Nice car and driver too.

I used China tour company to visit Hangzhou on on feb 7th. It’s a private tour. The experience is very pleasant and enjoyable. Tour guide Mr. Mark Zhou was very good. He speaks good English and very patient. He knows his stuff. I visited West Lake , Buddhist temple and the Pagoda. The tour was very enjoying and place (Hangzhou) is a must to see if you wish to enjoy the nature and Chinese culture and tradition. I recommend it to every one visiting China.

If we get to Beijing Friday January 3rd at 4;45pm and our plane boards Saturday the 4th at 5:30am do we have time to visit Simatai Great Wall and Gubeikou Water City or Simatai Geat wall alone in that time? we would like to see the Great Wall! Thank You very Much! Kara

Hello Kara,


Thanks for contacting chinatoursnet.com.

The sooner you get out from the airport( better before 5:30pm), the more chance you can stand on the Simatai Great Wall. If delayed, you also can enjoy the charming water town and look up the Great Wall under lights.


Best,

Hello! We are looking at taking a trip and would have a 12 hour layover in Beijing starting at 1 a.m. There are 2 of us and we were hoping to see the Great Wall. I am not sure what the hours are for the Simatai section and if it is open that late at night. It does not look like it is. Our flight would depart at 1pm, so I was also wondering if it would be possible to be at the Mutianyu section of the Wall right when it opened at 8 and get back to the airport. If we did that option, would we also be able to see the Forbidden Palace and possibly other sights before heading to the Wall to be there are 8? Thank you for your help. Nick

Warm greetings from ChinaToursNet!

Your time is enough to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall, we'll pick you up at 6:00 am and return around 11am, please choose private tour, USD 110 per person. May I know your tour date?
