Your friendly tour guide will meet you at your hotel lobby, then whisk you straight to the Simatai Great Wall. The 2-hour scenic drive treats you to rolling countryside views, while your guide shares fascinating histories and legendary stories about the Great Wall to set the mood for your adventure. Upon arrival, you get to choose your own start: head straight to the Simatai Great Wall to catch the golden glow of sunset from its ancient battlements, or first wander the lantern-lit lanes of Gubei Water Town and soak in its tranquil canal-side charm. Take the cable car up to the Simatai Great Wall, where only 2 to 3 exclusive sections are open to visitors at night. As you explore these well-preserved stretches, your guide will regale you with vivid historical anecdotes, snap memorable photos for you. You’ll also have plenty of free time to admire the wall’s path, illuminated by delicate red lanterns, and gaze down at the twinkling lights of Gubei Water Town.

After descending the Great Wall, step into the fairy-tale world of Gubei Water Town after dark. Wander along the stone-paved alleys lined with glowing lanterns and traditional courtyard houses, browse local handicraft shops, and stop for a cup of warm tea at a riverside teahouse. Don’t miss the spectacular drone light show—hundreds of drones paint colorful patterns and historical motifs across the night sky, a modern highlight that perfectly complements the town’s ancient charm. You can also catch folk performances like traditional lion dances or stilt walking, adding a lively touch to your evening. When the night adventure comes to an end, your private vehicle will take you back to your Beijing hotel safely and comfortably.
