A fantastic tour to Gubei Watertown  (古北水镇)of Beijing

Gubei Watertown locates in Miyun county, Beijing. It is a fantastic tour destination where visitors can enjoy the green mountains and rivers by boat.

It you have enough energy, climb the Simatai Great Wall in this town is also a wonderful thing. And then you can go to restaurants at the end of the town to taste the delicious Miyun braised pork, special snacks and drinks. The attractive lantern shops are children's favorite place; nearly every child carries a lantern when they walk in the town.

You must stay overnight here if time is enough, because the intoxicating night will never disappoint you.
