preface

When the high-speed train arrived at the station, it mixed into the hot air of Beijing, and a trace of agitation suddenly poured in.

In Beijing's hot summer, in the stuffy weather, people can't stop sweating.

In summer, a nearby resort that Beijingers love to visit: Gubei Water Town

I met again.

Gubei Water Town for the third time is also full of expectations. What are the different experiences of such a destination that constantly creates surprises this time?

A cool journey in the scorching summer begins.

The Simatai Great Wall was praised by Professor Luo Zhewen, a famous Great Wall expert: "The Great Wall of China is the largest in the world, and the Simatai Great Wall can be called the largest Great Wall of China." Looking at the Great Wall from afar, it looks like a winding dragon circling among the mountains and mountains. Climbing the Simatai Great Wall, you will suddenly see the scenery of the north. Climb and look far away and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Different from the previous two times, this trip to Gubei Water Town in Beijing allows you to overlook the entire gentle and romantic town from God's perspective.

Looking down at the Simatai Great Wall from God's perspective, it is steep and great.

This is the first time I stayed at Hangu Mountain Villa Hotel. The Great Wall in the distance and the hotels on the mountain roads. All the exquisiteness indicates that staying is happiness.

At night, it is a romantic night in Gubei Water Town. In the hilltop church, the cheerful voice of the choir always makes people full of gratitude and a touch of sadness.

Visiting the Great Wall at night, watching drone performances, and lighting lights for passers-by make the Great Wall warm on summer nights.

The unique boat breakfast allows people to enjoy the tranquility of Gubei Water Town on a refreshing morning.

Day 1 Hangu Villa, Natural Valley

I have stayed in many hotels in Gubei Water Town, but this is the first time I have stayed in Hangu Villa. Located in the Langu area of Gubei Water Town, it has a total of 8 buildings and 72 rooms.

This aerial photo should be the most intuitive representation of the location of the hotel.

The hotel is surrounded by greenery, and it makes you feel comfortable to walk in.

The hotel is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a quiet environment and has an open-air swimming pool. The hotel combines the unique natural features of the town and the elements of the Great Wall, and is committed to creating a vacation life that combines leisure and health preservation, creating a stay experience featuring tranquility and seclusion.

The Japanese-style decoration layout makes people feel at home and brings the warmth between people and the room closer.

Looking out from the terrace of the room at the Simatai Great Wall in the distance, the perfect combination of mountains and lines, and it is worthwhile to stare blankly at the hotel in the clear valley.

Amid such green surroundings, the newly launched wild luxury tent camp is the love of many children. Live in the forest and sea of clouds and get close to natural skin. Enjoy the food and see the scenery.

In the bathroom between the dense forest, the window is the lounge. After visiting, everyone really wants to live in it.

I personally like Hangu Hotel very much. Here you can truly return to nature, stay away from the hustle and bustle, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of morning and dusk in the mountains.

Mucheng Hotel, white space aesthetics

Walking up the road, you will find the newly built Mucheng Hotel and Huotang Hotel in Gubei Water Town. This time, I have the honor to visit these two newly built hotels. They have different styles and different feelings.

I saw someone say before: "In a valley, in a hotel, I felt many times that it was not me who was looking at the forest. Some days, I feel like the trees are watching me and talking to me. And I, I was there listening..."This is the Mucheng Hotel.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows are embedded into the exterior wall of the building, and the surrounding scenery can be softly projected on the glass, and the appearance will also produce different expressions depending on the viewing angle.

The round window above the head sheds bright daylight, and the unique lighting well design also adds interest to the Mucheng Hotel.

The side windows on the inner wall optimize the lighting design. This small square window forms a subtle connection with the outdoor space, exposing the pure sky and changing flowing clouds, creating a ceremonial sense of seclusion in the mountains and forests.

The room is adjacent to the mountains, returning to simplicity and simplicity

Each room has huge floor-to-ceiling windows that open to the summer sun. The magnificent scenery of the countryside unfolds outside the window like a scroll. Mountains, trees, paths, streams... every detail in the room exudes a profound and simple beauty.

Each room has huge floor-to-ceiling windows that open to the summer sun. The magnificent scenery of the countryside unfolds outside the window like a scroll. Mountains, trees, paths, streams... every detail in the room exudes a profound and simple beauty.

The open terrace allows us to move vertically and experience different scales of the surrounding landscape. In the valley with four distinct seasons, the sunshine pouring down from the clouds and the flowing haze winding around the mountains are the daily life of the mountain.

Through food, return to nature, get close to the land, seasonal vegetables from the mountains and rivers presented in the season, and the uniquely arranged dining environment, a banquet with a "taste of memory" is achieved.

Looking at the green outside the large floor-to-ceiling window, the waiter brought tea and pressed the shutter just right. With such an interesting photo, I also look forward to experiencing the mountain life of Mucheng when I meet with Gubei Water Town next time.

Huotang Hotel is unique

The nearest hotel under the Great Wall adds imagination, like a long scroll of "Taoyuan" expressing its love. Not only that, but it also seems to be expressing its beautiful wishes to guard the territory for the visitors.

The overall construction has a scattered perspective, a clear central axis, a palace-like enclosure, and a clear hierarchy, using light and shadow to transform the unique charm of the guest house.

Huotang Hotel is inspired by the combination of "Hakka Tulou" and "Great Wall", paved with history and culture. The external structure is concise, and the building that seems to be built with adobe bricks as walls is actually meticulous everywhere.

Although there are only eighteen unique guest rooms, elegance and wisdom coexist. The walls are replaced by floor-to-ceiling windows, which is natural; lying in the huge bathtub, you can have a panoramic view of the winding Great Wall, which is shocking.

The tall houses, round wells, and halls are full of the characteristics of Hakka earthen buildings, and maintain the artistic style of quaint, concise, and ethnic integration...

At night, I listened quietly to the mountain springs playing, insects chirped and frogs jumped, and I felt comfortable without constraints, but I liked it a little more.

Looking forward to meeting again!

Riyue Island Square, a wonderful encounter on the road

After visiting the Mucheng and Huotang Hotels, after a short rest, we walked all the way to Riyue Island Square. On the way, we encountered those wonderful and fun shapes and neighborhoods. Because I'm here for the third time this time, I'm quite familiar with it.

Every autumn, this place is a favorite place for tourists. The walls are covered with red leaves and its popularity is booming.

Red leaves are the autumn characteristics of Gubei Water Town. Look at the red leaves coming to Gubei.

Riyue Island Square is undergoing lively lion dances, face-changing, and bicycle juggling performances, which instantly gathers popularity and is very lively. Gubei Water Town is still working hard to experience tourists, and various interesting activities and performances continue.

Dinner was pizza at the city gate of Riyue Island Square. After a good meal, it also started to rain.

There are many things here to bring children to eat and are very suitable for children, and the final dessert is also very good.

The hilltop church has melodious singing

Gradually the rain stopped, so I went to the hilltop church as planned to see the night view and listen to the choir.

I will always encounter something very kind, and I will walk warmly under the familiar environment, delicious food, and green. The cool air after the rain is filled with the fragrance of the valley.

In the hilltop church, the melodious singing was full of gratitude and a touch of sadness. On such a cool night, walking in the quiet and beautiful night of Gubei makes people comfortable. Gubei's first choice for a suburban vacation.

After strolling and shooting, I came to the late night canteen of the snack street at night, and I fell for you tonight.

It's those who come across interesting things and find stories you don't care about.

The place where an ancient lamp lights up is where all stories take place.

Day 2 Cruise for breakfast, secluded Gubei

In the morning, board the boat at the Wuzhenhui Hotel Pier and experience the newly launched cruise ship breakfast in Gubei Water Town. Before, when I came to Gubei Water Town, I used to travel through the ancient town by boat. This time, in the quiet Gubei Water Town in the early morning, experiencing breakfast on a cruise ship also gave me a unique feeling.

The night view of Gubei Water Town is lovely, and the quiet morning in Gubei Water Town is something you can't miss when you come to Gubei. Get up early and stroll around it should be the best time.

Insects chirping, birds chirping, and running water, traveling through Gubei Water Town by boat. On such a charming morning, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and experience the beauty of this time.

All tenderness is like water, but they can't resist the beautiful existence. Different experiences and feelings also make our unique travel stories.

Traditional culture is beautiful and touching

For the third time, Gubei still came to the dyeing workshop. I liked to see the Chinese colors and preferred the images taken here.

Gubei Water Town is also doing a very good job in inheriting and promoting traditional culture. Soju, dye workshops, shadow puppets, etc. are all passed down here.

Walking along the way, there were too many beautiful scenes. I couldn't forget the hawthorn ice cream in Gubei Water Town, which was still a place where I had to check in every time I came.

Escort agencies and escorts are common descriptions in martial arts novels. "When you earn money, you will protect people from disasters." An understatement in martial arts novels or movies actually does not explain the hard work of a bodyguard's life. In the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, faced with these once-bloody historical relics, you can learn about the real life records of the Escort masters, such as discussing price tags in the discussion hall, practicing martial arts on plum blossoms piles, pushing darts carts, and showing punches. As well as the person and affairs of Zhang Zhenyuan, the escort master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and the development history of my country's Escort Agency.

Hundreds of years ago, Gubeikou was located at the throat fortress of the capital, where the Zhenghuang Banner guarded Gubei Xiongguan. Wandering in the Eight Banners Guild Hall, I dream of returning to the Qing Dynasty and calling soldiers on the school grounds. Here, you can understand the folk customs of this once glorious nation on horseback.

Live next to the mountain and overlook the Great Wall

Banshanju is a newer hotel in Gubei Water Town. It takes about 3 minutes from the hilltop church down the broken road.

The antique house number of Banshan Residence looks a little "dilapidated", and it is difficult to notice its existence while walking on the road. Only when you enter the hotel will you realize how exquisite it is.

At present, Banshanju Hotel has a total of 14 rooms, including 8 queen beds and 6 family rooms."Lying in the room and watching the Great Wall" is the most realistic portrayal of Banshanju's room type.

You can take a shuttle bus from Banshanju Hotel to the Hilltop Church, but it's actually quite a walk.

Bubble summer, childhood time

The one-hour bubble summer time every afternoon is a happy time for children. Enjoy it!

You can have fun here!

Ride the Great Wall and enjoy the green

It is "not impossible" from June 1 to September 15 this year-the summer activities themed by the starry sky summer in Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall have revolutionized the traditional Great Wall sightseeing and tourism model and integrated Great Wall culture into modern high-quality life., create a new vacation destination. Among them, it is not impossible to ride a bicycle to the Great Wall. Two customized riding and viewing routes will create a new understanding of how to play the Great Wall and satisfy your freedom.

Cycling is a way of life, a habit, and an addiction. I love the state of riding on the road, freedom, unknown, expectation, and surprise. Ride a bicycle to tour the Great Wall, use your wheels to measure the historical road, leaving an unforgettable mark on the Great Wall.

Day3 Great Wall Yoga, close to nature

On the third day of breakfast, I got up early and took a bus to the western section of the Great Wall, which was not open to the public. There will be a special experience of Great Wall yoga that is close to nature.

This is the first time I have come to the western section of the Great Wall. The ruins and simplicity suddenly make people more natural. The chirps of birds echo throughout the valley. Looking at the Simatai Great Wall in the eastern section, it is really a beautiful scenery.

Hunting for the aurora of the soul at the foot of the Great Wall, in the early morning, slowly awaken your body from a relaxing yoga session and feel the ultimate experience that exercise brings you.

Follow a professional yoga teacher, feel the joy brought by yoga between each breath and each breath, and experience the nature and purity of the unity of man and nature.

The tranquility in the noise behind the shelter, wake up from nature and return to nature.
