Itinerary

  • Simatai Great Wall

    Start your day with early morning pickup at your Beijing hotel at 7:30am by your English speaking driver, and drive about two hours to the beautiful Gubei Water Town. Since this is a self-guided tour, you can spend the time you want in the water town and at the Great Wall. Choose to start your tour from the Great Wall at Simatai. In this case, you'll take the ferry to the foot of the Great Wall, and ride on a cable-car to the summit (own expense). Once you are up there, you will be amazed with how untouched and well preserved this Great Wall still remains since Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall is known for its steepness and the beautiful surroundings.

    2 hours

  • Gubei Water Town

    After your time on the wall, take the cable car down and start walking around in Gubei Water Town. Relax in the ancient town, and enjoy the beautiful Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir. You surely will have a very unique experience in this rare natural old town with a combination of mountains, water, ancient villages, and hilly areas. Enjoy a tasty lunch meal at the Water Town or after your Water Town visit (own expense). Then your driver will drop you off at your hotel in Beijing around 4:30pm.

Amazing tour with an excellent tour guide!

Published on Oct, 2018

Our tour guide was excellent and communicated well with us! Very knowledgeable. This night tour provides great views and is not so crowded.

Great Service

Published on Jul, 2018

I had been to Simatai before and wanted to take my friends, but without a tour guide was unsure of how to go about it. I found this driving service and was so pleased with the results. The driver contacted me the day before in English, picked us up promptly in the morning. The drive was great, water was provided, and Kevin, our driver, gave us his recommendation and bought all our tickets for us so we could have a great time. We were only slightly delayed by a dead battery after our time on the wall, but Kevin was able to get us back to Beijing on time. For no extra fee, he drove us to the train station instead of back to the hotel as we were catching a ride back to Shanghai. I would definitely use this service again for the great convenience.

Excellent Service

Published on Jul, 2018

The driver called us the day before to arrange the pick up. The ride was faster than expected from Beijing to Simatai. I love this part of the wall and the water town that goes with it. The service picked us up from the hotel but was kind enough to drop us off at the railway station for no extra charge.
