Why Travelers Love This
Join us to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Jinshanling Great Wall and Simatai Great Wall, China's most iconic and well-preserved sections. Morning: Jinshanling Great Wall Built under General Qi Jiguang, a Ming military hero, Jinshanling was strategic stronghold against northern invasions. Its design reflects advanced defensive tactics with Multi-layered Defense and Signal Tower System. Afternoon: Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall Nestled at the foothills of the Simatai Great Wall in Beijing's Miyun District, Gubei Water Town is a meticulously restored ancient town that blends northern Chinese charm with the romantic aesthetics of 'Jiangnan' style water villages. Unlike commercialized sections like Badging, Simatai remains relatively quiet, offering a more intimate and reflective experience. Photographer's Paradise: Capture the Wall's dramatic curves and untouched beauty, especially sunset.
