Reviews
Cool tour and this section of the Great Wall with adjacent beautiful Gubei Water Town is just amazing. Smooth transport and pick up from hotel, Susie our guide was great and we got to hike on top of the Great Wall for around 90 minutes. Takes the full day given it's further away from Beijing than the more crowded sections like Badaling or Mutianyu.
Taking advantage of the autumn tour of Beijing, my travel companions decided to go to the more popular Simatai Great Wall to be a female man. Considering the physical strength, traffic and time of the travel companions, we decided to book a day trip package through KLOOK, including round-trip transportation. Pick-up, a lunch, Gu Bei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall scenic tour tickets (including the Great Wall Cableway round-trip ticket), we are sitting in a comfortable private car, the tour guide is also very enthusiastic. The whole experience is very good!
