Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall & Gubei Water Town Full-Day Experience

The Mutianyu Great Wall & Gubei Water Town day tour was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of our Beijing trip. Mutianyu Great Wall was absolutely stunning. The scenery was breathtaking and the restored sections made it comfortable to walk while still feeling the grandeur of the historic wall. Taking the cable car up & tobaggan down made the experience even more enjoyable and gave us amazing views of the mountains. Gubei Water Town was equally impressive with its charming canals, traditional architecture, and beautiful night scenery. The town is very well preserved and gives you a wonderful sense of old northern Chinese water towns. However, the area is huge with the famous Simatai Great Wall located there. A single day tour felt a little rushed, so if time allows, I would highly recommend staying another day to slowly explore the town, enjoy the night lights, and take a ride up to Simatai Great Wall.

We had a wonderful experience with our driver. He was very friendly, kind, and engaging throughout the day. He shared his knowledge of Beijing and its history in an enjoyable and insightful way, and also offered helpful recommendations along the way. His driving was smooth and comfortable, which made the whole journey even more pleasant. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and the places we visited. We would definitely recommend this tour.

This overnight trip was definitely worth it! First, the tour guide was thoughtful, there were no hidden fees, and they were protective against scams, like having a personal concierge. Second, the water town was carefully constructed, making you feel like you've stepped back in time. The daytime and nighttime atmospheres were full of charm, and the drone show and water dance were fantastic. Third, the Water Town Hotel had comfortable beds and a very rich and authentic breakfast. Fourth, the hot spring facilities were abundant, and you could even enjoy views of the Great Wall while soaking. Fifth, you get to see the Great Wall in both daylight and at night. In conclusion, this trip was great value for the price and a lot of fun!

An amazing place, highly recommended to stay here for a night. The Beijing concierge service is excellent, answering every question, which is very satisfying. The arranged car and driver-guide Zhang Qi were also exceptionally great. Absolutely super worthwhile trip to Gubei Water Town and two Great Wall sections. Thank you so much for your assistance, wishing you all the best and safety! Love you all!

The driver was great throughout the trip and shared a lot of useful information with us.

We had an wonderful trip with Zhang Qi who drove us to the Mutianyu Great Wall and then to Gubei Water town. Zhang was very informative in providing information about Beijing, where to go and what to do. Zhang helped us purchase tickets for the chairlift and slide but when we arrived, the wait for the chairlift was 2 hours long which was double that of the cable car. We decided to take the cable car instead so Zhang and his team was able to switch the tickets for us while we were waiting in line. When we finally reached the ticket check, we were already registered for the cable car and we proceeded without any delays. We are very happy with the service provided by everyone involved to make that happen. I would highly recommend taking this tour and thank Zhang for an amazing trip!

The tour was definitely worth it. Our guide Zhang Qi was really thoughtful and gave us great tips for where to eat and where to see the best view of the Wall. He also explained us some History facts. Being able to see the wall at night was really amazing, I definitely recommend planning this trip if you want to see the Great Wall from all sides, after all, you can even see the sunset from the Great wall.

it is a recommended package if u prefer private and relax trip..thank you to our driver Mr xie that helps us a lot during this trip . mutianyu is way more chill since it less crowded and also the night trip to simatai was also good .

we parted at Gubei Water Town Hotel. Our driver was amazing! I felt very safe with him and he was funny. Our hotel was lovely and clean. I wish we stayed an extra night. The facilities and services in the hotel are worth exploring. Gubei Watertown was amazing. So much to explore. The night Great Wall experience was a unique experience! Worth every moment! The evening light show was spectacular. And the buffet breakfast had a wide range and was delicious and filling. I would do these experience again with the same driver.

The driver 张琪先生 is an experience and friendly person who able to provide plently of history info. Recommended us local delicious food and other places of interest. We feel blesssed to have him to our driver and friend. Thanks.
