Watch Dreamy Sunset on Simatai Great Wall & Wander Gubei Water Town with Nicholas Wang
If you’re tired of crowded Badaling and Mutianyu, Simatai Great Wall & Gubei Water Town will be your perfect Beijing day trip!
Built in the Ming Dynasty, Simatai retains its raw, unrenovated original appearance, praised as “the finest Great Wall in China”. It’s the only Great Wall section available for night sightseeing, which means you can enjoy two incredible views in one trip: breathtaking sunset golden hour, and glowing lantern-lit ancient ramparts after dark.
As the sun dips low over rolling mountain peaks, warm orange and gold sunlight covers every brick and watchtower. From the wall’s high ridges, you overlook Gubei Water Town, a charming northern water town with winding canals, stone arch bridges, wooden cruise boats and traditional courtyard inns. Once dusk falls, thousands of warm lanterns light up the whole town, reflecting gently on the water surface — pure Chinese ancient aesthetic.
