Gubei Water Town go on road trip Raiders+Route

Gubei Water Town is a well-known large-scale ancient town complex in Beijing, which attracts a large number of domestic and foreign tourists every day. This kind of complex with ancient northern characteristics makes people feel extremely comfortable. Here, I will share with you the detailed strategy and route of Gubei Water Town go on road trip.

Gubei Water Town: a starry town at the foot of the Great Wall, located under the Simatai Great Wall in Miyun, next to Yuanyang Lake Reservoir, is an ancient town newly built by Wuzhen Group, which imitates Jiangnan Town. Although it has no historical accumulation, it has an excellent location and looks up at the Great Wall.

1. Important things come first

It is suitable for leisure travel, such as family travel and taking the elderly and children together for a holiday. If you are an individual or a travel player, you don't have to go there specially, because maybe one day, the unit will go.

as for accommodation, it is recommended to travel with the family for 2 days and 1 night. Accommodation can be in or out of the scenic spot. The difference is that the hotel tickets in the scenic spot can enter and exit many times, and it will be more convenient to have a temporary rest, especially in summer and at noon, which is really not suitable for staying outside. Hotel tickets outside the scenic spot can only be used once, but the accommodation price is lower.

Hotels in the scenic spot are relatively expensive, which can be divided into boutique hotels, theme hotels or inns. You can book in official website, and some room prices include discount tickets and hot spring tickets.

2. Overall impact

The ancient town buildings are all antique, and different streets have different customs. If you look closely at the street slabs, window grilles, brick carvings, wooden beams, furniture, etc., some of them are old things, which may be old materials bought from other places, so the whole thing is quite antique, and I don't feel against it. The only drawback is that there is no atmosphere of life, but it also brings a little benefit, that is, the whole town is managed in a unified way, and all the yards can wander around and stay at will without disturbing others' lives.

I think it's great that Parthenocissus tricuspidata is planted everywhere, many walls are lush, and flowers are planted everywhere, which is very eye-catching.

As for many netizens' opinions, the ancient town is a man-made scenic spot, without any historical accumulation, or even devalued. Personally, I don't expect him to be a scenic spot, but should regard him as a holiday destination, where you can eat, play and have fun. Gubei meets the requirements.

3. Traffic

Traffic route, official website Map

Gubeishui Town is located in Simatai Village, Gubeikou Town, Miyun District, Beijing, 12 kilometers away from Beijing.

self-driving: Beijing-Chengde Expressway, which takes about 1.5H to reach directly from the exit of Simatai Great Wall.

Bus: Take bus No.98 or No.98 (express) at Dongzhimen Station, get off at Miyun West Bridge Station and transfer to bus No.51 to reach the resort.

4. Climbing the Great Wall

Simatai Great Wall

Simatai Great Wall retains the original appearance of the Ming Great Wall. Compared with Badaling and other Great Walls, the restoration is not complete. Most of the Great Wall is not as strong as the piles on both sides. One section of the Great Wall is a rare unilateral wall with steep and narrow mountaintop, and the broken watchtower has a different flavor. It is said that the highest section of the Fairy House has a 1-meter-long ladder close to 85 degrees, which has not been experienced.

To visit the Simatai Great Wall from the ancient town, if you are physically strong, you are advised to buy a one-way cable car, from the Yuanyang Lake hiking trail to the east 2nd floor, climb six enemy buildings to the east 8th floor, and then take the cable car down from the east 8th floor.

with average physical strength, you can take a two-way cable car, first take a gentle slope to the 5th floor of the East, then climb three enemy towers to the 8th floor of the East, and then the cable car goes down the mountain. No matter which one you choose, it is suggested that you must go to the unilateral wall below the 5 th floor of the East, or go up and experience it. It is quite shocking.

There's another kind. You can visit the Great Wall at night. You should experience it next time. If the weather is fine and you can see the stars all over the sky, it should be good.

5. Visit

Visit the ancient town

Visit varies from person to person. The street view of the ancient town is mainly along the north and south of the river, and you can also take a boat ride.

Those who like to know about traditional culture can go to the cloth dyeing workshop and the pub to see and increase their knowledge.

There are performances such as Peking Opera, Bangzi and Crosstalk, and there is a light fountain show in the evening. Although it is not large, it is quite interesting. It is recommended to look at the performance time in advance and arrange it in advance if you are interested.

Children can watch shadow play, go to children's playhouses for fun, swim and soak in hot springs.

6. Night Scenes

Night Scenes Collection

You can choose two places to see the night scenes:

One is the church at the top of the mountain, overlooking the Great Wall and the whole ancient town, and there is a wind chime corridor on the church, where the stars are lit and the wind chimes are ringing. Oh ~ create a romantic date. Don't be afraid to screw everything up. You will have

the whole world ~

The other is the Yuantong Temple Tower. From another perspective, the night view of the ancient town is more spectacular with few trees blocking it.

7. Hot Springs

Outdoor wind Lu

This time, I went to the hot spring pavilion in the city, where men and women took separate baths. There are about 8 different hot spring pools for men, 3 of which are outdoor, and there are saunas such as steaming.

It's beautiful to watch the night view of the Great Wall and drink cold beer while soaking in hot springs!

according to the habit of going to the bathhouse in the north, all that is needed is a rub bath. hahaha.

8. Accommodation

Light of Gubei

It is recommended to stay near Riyue Square, which is convenient for eating and watching performances.

The Light Hotel in Gubei, where I live this time, is characterized by an endless swimming pool and several small swimming pools, which are suitable for taking children to play with water, and sending tickets, ferry tickets and hot spring tickets when staying.

for children, the hotel provides a crib, the service is ok, the hygiene is quite clean, and the breakfast is very rich, which is recommended!

9. Diet

The diet in the ancient town of Wan Xiaoju

The fast food category is about 3/ person, and the order is about 8/ person. The queue in the snack street is serious on weekends, so you may have to eat standing up, and the experience is average.

A restaurant called Yanhe Restaurant is recommended for ordering. It is opposite to Qiaotou Cake, and it is located by the river. It is very emotional, and the dishes are mainly stewed by farmers, with a large quantity.

fast food recommends a Chinese fast food named Wan Xiaoju, which is similar to Yoshinoya.

1. Other

In addition to the above, you can also find many small scenery by leisurely strolling around the ancient town and walking slowly!

this weekend is good!

Climb the Great Wall, take a boat, watch night scenes and soak in hot springs,

Learn the traditional crafts of burning wine shops and dyeing cloth, watch shadow play,

Listen to Peking Opera, drum and cross talk performances, and have fun with children in the pavilion.
