Come to a romance of the vast starry sky at the foot of the Great Wall
Miyun in the suburbs of Beijing, one side is the beacon fire of the Great Wall, and the other side is the south of the Yangtze River. During the day, we take a black-covered boat swaying in the river of the water town, and at night, we watch the vast starry sky at the foot of the Great Wall. Such a dreamy Gubei Water Town meets summer under the Great Wall. In the starry sky town, watch the night of the Great Wall fall here, watch a water dance show in Gubei Water Town, stay at the Huotang Hotel at night, wake up in the morning to do yoga under the Great Wall, and check in the major Internet celebrity attractions in Water Town. Yongshun Fang makes a tie-dye shirt for yourself, rides the Great Wall in the afternoon, eats a Guguan hot pot in the evening, and watches Peking Opera in Riyue Island Square. It has the majestic atmosphere of the north, and the Gubei Water Town that travels through. Give yourself a A holiday in Beijing.
After ten years of careful construction, Gubei Water Town has become a popular scenic spot in Beijing. It is more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing, and there is a direct shuttle bus. The high-speed exit is near the scenic spot, and there is also a direct train. , I called for a ride, and it took more than an hour to arrive. Whether it’s a visit with friends or a family trip, it’s worth a visit.
Great Wall Night
As soon as you arrive at Gubei Water Town, it’s already evening. You can’t imagine the love of southern children for the Great Wall. Go to climb the Great Wall immediately. You have climbed Badaling and Juyongguan before, and you have also been to Jiayuguan. Simatai Great Wall hovers on the mountain cliffs. Like a giant dragon, it is magnificent. Take the cable car up the mountain at the foot of Gubei Water Town, and you can reach the top of the mountain in about 20 minutes. In the evening, many people are sitting on the steps of the Great Wall watching the sunset and waiting for the night. I suddenly understood the romance of young artists in Beijing. At night, the kerosene lamps on the Great Wall are lit up. The warm lamps and azure blue make people calm down.
Simatai Great Wall is one of the sections of the Great Wall of China. It is the most dangerous section of the Great Wall. It starts from Wangjing Tower in the east and ends at Houchuankou in the west, with a total length of 5.4 kilometers. The Great Wall was originally built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the existing buildings were built in the Ming Dynasty. The Simatai Great Wall was included in the World Heritage List in 1987. At the same time, the Simatai Great Wall is the only section of the ancient Great Wall that retains the original appearance of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Luo Zhewen, an ancient architect, praised the Great Wall of Simatai: "The Great Wall of China is the largest in the world, and the Great Wall of Simatai can be called the largest of the Great Wall of China". The Simatai Great Wall was rated as "the first of the 25 scenic spots in the world not to be missed" by the British "Times".
It is not easy for sanitation workers to pick up garbage on the Great Wall at night. The garbage must not only be sorted, but also bring as little garbage as possible when traveling to reduce environmental pollution.
Simatai Great Wall has 35 enemy towers. The whole section of the Great Wall is exquisitely conceived, unique in design, novel in conception and in various shapes. Stretched horse paths, there are also "ladders" stacked with large steps on steep slopes, watch pavilions on the enemy's platform, and roofs with resting hills, hanging hills, hard hills, rolling sheds, and double-eaved hanging hills. In a short distance, there are so many forms of city walls and watchtowers, and the changes are so great, which is extremely rare in the Great Wall.
I am very satisfied with the night scene of the Great Wall taken with Huawei P30PRO.
Gubei Water Town is the delicate, lively, and soft south, and the Simatai Great Wall is the majestic, historical, and heavy north. In Gubei Water Town, an aesthetic dialogue in space is performed. The starry sky town under the Simatai Great Wall is very dreamy and romantic. At night, watch the beautiful sunset, sit quietly and wait for the sky to blur, the ancient Great Wall winds like a giant dragon in the enchanting night.
The night color of the Honor 20 Pro is also excellent, which is really amazing.
Now that I have come to the Great Wall, I still have to check in, overlooking Gubei Water Town on the Great Wall, between the valleys, through time and space, but it is so peaceful.
light show
Coming down from the foot of the Great Wall, I happened to meet the light and shadow show of Gubei Water Town, which is very beautiful. The girl in the water town is so smart, like Spirited Away. The whole ancient building is unpredictable under the light and shadow, and the fountain dances to the rhythm of the music. , watching this program designed and built by an international team under the starry night sky, using the newly developed "virtual reality" water dance control system, the perfect combination of water dance movements and music rhythm control, in response to the melodious music, The fusion of water and fire, the collision of music and light, combined with 3D light projection, is beautiful and shocking, as if experiencing a magical trip to an ancient town.
In the starry night, strolling in the ancient city, the night is charming, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, falling into a beautiful dreamland; when the first ray of sunshine appears in the morning, wake up from nature, breathe the pure air, stay away from smog and hustle and bustle.
Firepit Hotel
After seeing the manuscript of Huotang Hotel, I have to admire this talented chairman. Huotang Hotel is his masterpiece. We stayed at Huotang Hotel at night. It is a very artistic hotel. The interior of the room is antique and the design of the room It is very Tibetan-style, the space is integrated with each other, the copper bathtub is in the bedroom, I enjoy it very much, I am very tired after climbing the Great Wall, I took a bath at night, and fell asleep on the bed.
Huotang Hotel is inspired by the "Great Wall" and "Hakka Tulou". , The perfect interweaving of light and shadow between the solid civil structures gives people multi-level sensory and spiritual enjoyment. The layout of the room is full of strong ethnic customs; the strong artistic atmosphere sublimates the accommodation space. Compared with chain hotels, I prefer this kind of artistic hotel with feeling, staying in is just enjoying.
Great Wall Yoga
I woke up early in the morning and practiced yoga with the Indian yoga teacher Singh at the Simatai Great Wall section. The sun rose slowly and breathed the aura of heaven and earth. Teacher Singh was very professional and nice, and we learned yoga movements together. Indian yoga culture is in the China's thousand-year-old giant dragon blends together, it's a super feeling, and it's a great experience in life.
Let a relaxing yoga on the ancient Great Wall in the morning, awaken every sense of the body, and feel the ultimate experience brought by exercise. Between one breath and one breath, the stretching and relaxation brought by yoga, the nature and purity of the unity of nature and man. It made me fall in love with yoga more and more.
Ancient city tour
After yoga, go back to the hotel to have breakfast, and then go shopping in the ancient town. There are not many people in the ancient town in the morning, and the summer in Beijing is still relatively hot. It is suitable to spend in various small shops in the ancient town. If you bring children, you can go to the children's playground. There are tie-dye workshops, shochu restaurants, kite museums, and various folk museums. Through ancient and modern times, you can always walk along the banks of the river, and you will find a lot.
Gubei Water Town is located in Gubeikou Town, Miyun District, Beijing. It is backed by the most beautiful and dangerous Simatai Great Wall in China, and sits on the Yuanyang Lake Reservoir. It is a rare tourist resort in the suburbs of Beijing that combines mountains and rivers. At present, it has become a new landmark of Beijing night tour.

In the summer of Gubei Water Town, creepers are lush on the thick walls, and the clear water on the river brings a lot of coolness in the summer. I personally tied and dyed a piece of clothing in Yongshun Dyeing Workshop, and I didn’t know that the clothes were tied before going. Dyeing, "Yongshun dyeing, plant color, handmade, natural color". In Yongshun dyeing workshop, it is plant dyeing, without chemical pollution, a piece of clothing is more fresh, and you can dye a tie-dye work of your own. It feels very fulfilling.
The cloth drying workshop, with its colorful colors, has also become a spot for Internet celebrities to check in. If you wear Hanfu, it will be more flavorful.
At noon, dine at the Chinese restaurant of the William Edgar Hotel. This hotel commemorates the protection and contribution of the American geographer William Edgar Gale to the Great Wall of China. Lunch is mainly Cantonese cuisine. The cooking heat is sufficient and the workmanship is fine. In Beijing, eating Cantonese cuisine, fried flower crab, roasted eel, barbecued pork, three-cup chicken, and halal fish are also very satisfying.
Mucheng Hotel
At noon, I changed to another hotel and continued to stay. For hotel lovers, the biggest charm of Gubei Water Town is that it has so many good hotels, dozens of hotels with different characteristics, and each one has a bright spot. Compared with Huotang The hotel is antique, and the design of Mucheng Hotel is modern and simple, with a large space of nearly 80 square meters.
