Great time in Gubei W Town and Simatai Great Wall - Such a wonderful trip to Gubei Water Town, and Simatai Great Wall. Mr. Liu Guochang showed up in time, and patiently waited for us. The car is spacious and his drive was so smooth. He took care of everything for us to make this trip memorable! Highly recommend for family traveling.

Spectacular view over Simatai - A late afternoon-evening period is a must to have the best experience on the Simatai Wall and in Gubei watertown. Because of the beautiful light, and also because (in summer) it is more pleasant, less warm. Put on sturdy shoes with good profile soles, the stairs of the Wall can be slippery. Afraid of heights is better left at home;-) but the view is worth everything. Gubei watertown is fun to watch. Not authentic though, but a nice copy (of Whuzen). It is best to go from Mon to Fri because the weekends are very busy.

Highlight of our trip to china - For us, this was the highlight of the trip. Our guide, Justin, was awesome as was our driver Liu. The experience was incredible. The town was absolutely charming and the sunset on the wall was awesome. There is also a fountain show with lights and fire that was fun, but would have been particularly good with kids.
