Еднодневна екскурзия до воден град Губей и Великата стена Симатай

Тъй като това е по-скоро среща/взимане (до мястото за среща), кратки обяснения на дневния маршрут (както на английски, така и на мандарин), главно за посещение на стария воден град Губей (приятен и тих по време на нашето посещение) и изкачване с лифт до Великата китайска стена Симатай (зад водния град) – разгледайте ги сами до тъмно. След като си поставите такива очаквания, това е добро пътуване за посещение на местата. Нашият гид Кристина е страхотна и много услужлива, отговаря на въпросите на всички, даде добри съвети за водния град (какво да видите и ядете), най-доброто време за залез на Великата стена и кои кули да изкачите (ако някой е готов за това). Има някои допълнителни опции (зависи от вашите предпочитания и откъде резервирате), като разходка с лодка, обяд с хот пот, посещение на Великата стена (в крайна сметка направихме както дневни, така и вечерни посещения – изкачване, докато има светлина, и наслаждаване на следобедните гледки), всичко на разумна групова цена с отстъпка. Това е пътуване без пазаруване и благодарение на Кристина и нашия шофьор, прекарахме гладко и страхотно време.

We had a wonderful day visiting Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Great Wall. The Simatai Great Wall was definitely a good experience and the views were amazing, but be prepared — it is quite a tough climb! It was challenging, but well worth it for the scenery and the experience. A special mention to our tour guide, Lisa, who was excellent throughout the day. She was very patient, friendly and helpful, and made sure we knew what to expect at each stage of the tour. Her instructions were always clear, both verbally and through WhatsApp, which made everything very easy and stress-free. Overall, a great day out and a memorable experience. Highly recommend the tour, especially with Lisa as the guide!

Встретили без задержек, в автобусе Люси всё подробно рассказала и прислала в WhatsApp в какое время что будет происходить и другую полезную информацию. Также была возможность докупить дневной подъём если выбрали вечерний и катание на лодке. На Великой Стене днём было немного людей, этот участок стены не благоустроен, поэтому не по бокам не везде есть бортики. Обед был вкусный (хотпот), Люси показала как сделать неострый соус и сколько готовить ингредиенты. Единственное, что мне не особо понравились - это подъём наверх вечером. Лучше подниматься только днём. Подсветка внизу выглядит ничуть не хуже, чем наверху.

We had an amazing day today with our lovely tour guide Cindy. The day was very fun packed with plenty of things to do. Gubei has a lot to offer and if you take Cindy’s recommendations you can enjoy some awesome local snacks. the best way to finish the trip was with the stunning sunset from the top of the wall and a walk though Gubei after dark, once all the lights come on and the shows start. Cindy was extremely helpful and communicated with us the entire time, while still giving us the opportunity to explore on our own. Departure time was 9PM so we enjoyed a good amount of time.

Tour was very well planned, pickup at GuoMao Subway at 8:50am and return to Gubei Parking lot for the bus at 9pm. We are able to watch the light show and fire show. But you might have to run out of the area as it is quite a distance to the carpark. Thank you tour guide Cindy for all the recommendations for the good street food and places to visit!

Highly recommend the full-day tour to Gubei water town and simatai great wall of chiba with lunch included. Everything was perfectly organized from hotel pickup to drop-off. The guide miss SUZIE spoke great English and very nice. They took us to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch. It was stress-free, informative, and a highlight of our China trip. I just wish they would extend the night tour because there wasn't enough time.

Enjoyed my visit to Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall. Tour was well-paced and not rushed. Gubei Water Town also had very little tourists, making it especially enjoyable to explore. The Simatai Great Wall at sunset was absolutely stunning and a true highlight. Jane, our guide, was very helpful throughout the tour and responsive on both WhatsApp and WeChat throughout. Highly recommended for travellers who wants to visit a lesser-known area of the Great Wall!

Satisfied with overall experience. There's an ample time to explore the town. Managed to cover two best view from Pagoda & church on top of hill. For Muslim info, there're two restaurant options ie No. 8 Tanghe Muslim Restaurant and No.9 Guguan Hot Pot (check label 清真 Qīngzhēn Halal). No comment in terms of food taste/quality because I brought own food. 2nd part of package was Simatai Night Tour. We're suggested to start walk back to cable car by 7.05 pm to make it to the bus by 7.30-8 pm. Entry to Simatai night tour begins around 5.30 pm. There's enough time to see the start of sunset but a bit tight if wait for the light to turn on which is about 6.50+pm onwards. I was able to make it but it felt a bit rushed and almost missed shuttle bus (additional 10yuan) back to town's entrance 😂. There's also a 10 minute firework performance otw back. Christina was an excellent guide, on top of verbal explanation, she sent written guide personally & every question asked received prompt response.

This was an unforgettable experience. While most tourists go to Badaling or Mutianyu, Simatai is much more peaceful, making it perfect for photos and for truly appreciating the beauty of the Great Wall. Gubei Water Town was also a highlight. I enjoyed walking around, taking photos, and trying a variety of food, from savory dishes to desserts. My package didn’t include the night tour, but I paid for it separately on the way. We went up before sunset, and I was surprised by how few tourists were left. It felt almost empty. Watching the sunset during golden hour in the cool weather was incredible, and it was surreal to realize I was on the Great Wall of China. The tour itself was very convenient. I was picked up from my hotel and travel time was about 2 hours. Our guide, Roberta, handled everything, including tickets, and was easy to contact via WhatsApp. After receiving the tickets, the tour was mostly self-guided, but her instructions were clear and helpful.

Като цяло имах много задоволително посещение на водния град Губей и Великата китайска стена Симатай. Пейзажът е красив, а преживяването да видиш стената, особено привечер, беше незабравимо. Самата обиколка беше добре организирана и всичко протече гладко. Едно предложение за подобрение би било по-ясна информация за това какво точно включва всяка опция за обиколка. Резервирах нощното посещение, мислейки, че това е най-пълната опция, тъй като беше най-скъпата, но би било полезно, ако обявата ясно обясняваше разликите между пакетите (дневно посещение, нощно посещение, разходка с лодка, включен обяд, както дневно, така и нощно посещение и т.н.). Наличието на по-ясно дефинирани опции би улеснило посетителите да изберат преживяването, което им подхожда най-добре. Специални благодарности на нашия екскурзовод Джейн, която обясни всичко много ясно на английски и също така отговаряше много бързо на моите запитвания в чата. Като цяло се радвам, че отидох и все пак бих препоръчал преживяването.
