Gubei Water Town surrounds the beautiful Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir and leans against the Simatai Great Wall, the most dangerous and majestic section of the entire Great Wall. Regarded as 'Wuzhen in Beijing', Gubei Water Town boasts a combination of mountains, water and ancient villages. Most buildings are reconstructed in the traditional courtyard style. Based on five ancient villages and a water resource, this water town has developed into a large-scale sightseeing and holiday destination.
The Simatai Great Wall(司马台长城 Sīmǎtái Chángchéng) is largely in its original state, as it has not undergone much renovation like other sections near Beijing.It is situated in Miyun County, 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) northwest of downtown Beijing.This particular section, built in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), is 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) long, with the Jinshanling Great Wall to the west. It is really a tough hike to climb the wall, but it is enormously rewarding.

We booked a driver (Li Nal) and a guide (Hill) on different days. Both were super professional and friendly! Communication with Benny was also a breeze and really clear. Highly recommended!
Benny send us a driver, was very kind and attentive. We wanted to go to the summer palace that was not in the itinerary and they still arrange the visit because it was on the way 👍 they help us get the tickets for entrance too and some advice and tips: we started the trip around 9:30 am and ended 11:00 pm. Fully recommended !
Our experience was great and seamless. Our driver was really helpful and efficient. The town visit was amazing, and the unrestored part of the Great Wall was incredible. Overall, a great trip out.
We got a personal driver to drive us from beijing to Gubei and return the next day..driver is v friendly, we chatted quite a bit as we can speak Mandarin..he is early on both legs to wait for us, and we communicate easily via WeChat on pickup points. Highly recommend Gubei, stay at least 1 night else it's not enough.
Benny is very friendly. He provided one of the best rate among those I have checked. Driver is on time and polite. He helps to fit 5 of us and 5 luggages into a 7 seater car. No deposit was required and payment after trip completed. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time both in the town and at the great wall. Our driver was polite and friendly. When we arrived, we spent about 2 hours in the town because there is so much to see. Lots of shops restaurants and it is scenic and beautiful. We loved the great wall. But you only need 1 hour or so up there. That means there is ample time to explore the town (you must!). You can also take the cable car which was a gorgeous ride up the mountain. We took a boat ride to get to the cable car. Everything is self explanatory and easy.
We had a wonderful time at the town and great wall! Honestly, this is the way to go because other parts of the wall are so overcrowded, but we felt like some of the only people on this part. The town was amazing with plenty to do! The tour was self guided, but it was very easy to get around ourselves. We took a boat ride through the town to the cable car. Then the cable car up to the great wall. The cable car ride is a must do! Spend time in the town as well, so many cute shops and cats. This was the highlight of our trip so far. Our driver was wonderful!
We have spent 4 days with Benny and his drivers, our itinerary was put together for us perfectly. The communications and arrangements were great. I would definitely recommend if you are travelling to China. It takes all the hassle and worries away as everything is arranged for you! Thanks so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gubei is not the star attraction but Simatai is n should not be missed especially the year round night tour. We have to thank Benny and his driver for bringing us there and back to Beijing safely. Benny was v responsive and His driver was also v patient n stick to the road speed. Great experience using him.
Su was a great guide! Extremely attentive and ready to help, took us fruit, water, stopped for us to pick up food on the way. We highly recommend the experience.
