¥600 / ¥540 for members / discounts for kids

Visit the Gubei Shuizhen to hike the Simatai Great Wall and explore the Lantern Festival fair. Includes expensive entry tickets.


With only part of the Simatai Great Wall open to visitors it’s a bit short for a hike. But with the Gubei Shuizhen (AKA Gubei WTown) Lantern Festival fair to explore at the same time, it becomes well worth the drive out.


Trip highlights


Climb the Simatai Great Wall—hike the ten towers on the east side of the Great Wall at Simatai. Short, steep, and excellent views from the top. (Cable-car option available, buy your own tickets)


Explore the Gubei Shuizhen—after a restaurant meal, our guides will take you on a walk to see the highlights of the Gubei Shuizhen. Then you’ll have free time until the drone show. Go shopping, find food and hot drinks, do some people-watching … up to you!


Lantern Festival fair—mingle with the crowds to see performances and shop small stalls.


Drone show—see a choreographed swarm of drones make shapes and pictures, with the lit-up Great Wall as a backdrop.


Cost: ¥600 / ¥540 for members / discounts for kids
