In Gubei Water Town, my phone's storage was "kidnapped" by the beautiful scenery!

Hey, everyone! I recently took a trip to Gubei Water Town, and it was absolutely amazing! It felt like I traveled to a Jiangnan water town in a second! The key is that it's super cost-effective, making it easy for budget travelers to enjoy. Here's my treasure guide with both hands, taking you to enjoy Gubei Water Town and get the most bang for your buck! [RoundNails] Address: Simatai Village, Gubeikou Town, Miyun District 🚗 Transportation Guide [Car] Self-driving: Starting from Beijing, the whole journey is about 120 km, and it takes about 2 hours to drive. The scenery along the way is super beautiful, and you can hum a little song while enjoying the scenery outside the window, making it a leisurely experience. But be sure to check the road conditions in advance, don't get stuck on the road, otherwise the good mood will be worn away by the "traffic jam army"! [Bus] Bus: There is a special bus line directly to Gubei Water Town outside Dongzhimen Bus Station. The ticket is about CNY 48💰, and the journey is about 1.5 hours. You can also take a nap on the bus to recharge your energy and start playing when you arrive! [Taxi] Ride-hailing: If you don't want to drive yourself or take a bus, you can also find a ride online or near the station. It costs CNY 100–150💰 per person, and you can share the cost with more people. 🎫 Ticket Information The ticket for Gubei Water Town is CNY 140💰/person. If you also want to climb the Simatai Great Wall, the day ticket is CNY 40💰/person, and the night ticket (including the cable car) is CNY 160💰/person. There are also discounts for students, the elderly, etc. Remember to bring relevant documents🙄 ‼️ Must-see Attractions 1⃣ Simatai Great Wall: Tour the Great Wall at night and overlook the panoramic view of the town. It's so beautiful. 2⃣ Yuantong Pagoda: The foot of the mountain has a worldly atmosphere, and the mountain has a Zen-like and tranquil matchmaker temple: a sacred place for marriage and blessings. It is said to be super effective. 3⃣ Summit Church: Accompanied by cloud coffee, the beautiful sunset🌄 can be seen. 4⃣ Yongxing Dyeing Workshop: Tie-dyed floral cloth, full of charm, a must-see attraction! 5⃣ Zhenyuan Escort Agency: Walk into the world of Jianghu and feel the changing situation of the Escort Agency. 3D Light and Water Dance Show: A visual feast of ice and fire, a naked-eye 3D shock is coming👍 ❗ Precautions ✅️ Power bank: There are many people in the scenic area, and power banks are in short supply. Be sure to bring your own, otherwise your phone will run out of power, and you won't be able to record the beautiful scenery. You can only worry! ✅️ Most of the water town is paved with stone slabs and super large steps. It is recommended to wear comfortable and lightweight sneakers👟. The mountainous area is still a bit cold at night, so you can bring a coat🧥~ ✅️ It is recommended to take a one-way cable car to the Simatai Great Wall, wear sunglasses, and apply sunscreen! Family members, pack your bags and head to Gubei Water Town. Believe me, this trip will definitely make you linger!
