My visit to Gubei Water Town in Beijing's Miyun District was enchanting. The town's picturesque canals, stone bridges, and classical architecture transported me back in time.Exploring the town during the day was a highlight. The vibrant atmosphere, with locals and visitors alike enjoying the scenic beauty, was delightful. I took part in cultural activities like tea ceremonies, shadow puppet performances, and handicraft workshops. The local cuisine was delicious, and my cozy guesthouse with a canal view added to the charm.
Gubei Water Town is a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists seeking to explore the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Beijing area.
I think the best time to visit Gubei water town is winter. As you can see from the pictures, the river was frozen at the time. In addition to getting some of the best views of the China Great Wall and the town is very unique in its own style. The cobblestone streets, the stone houses, the pagoda, the temple, the commercial centre where restaurants, foods, drinks, memorabilia can be bought, the stone bridge, the river, etc. can give you an immersive experience of this antique town! Worth a visit.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 went in August, and the back was the first April. This place is especially suitable for taking pictures in cheongsam. It is good in winter, good in summer, and it is very beautiful and very popular.
This place is very far from the city center, and there are more than 100km by car. There is a feeling of Jiangnan Water Town. It is a small town built by hand. The venue is very large. You can visit for a whole day. There are snacks and drinks. There are also many homestays nearby. It's nice to take pictures in Hanfu here.
