Planning a relaxing day trip from Beijing? Gubei Water Town is the perfect pick. Inspired by the classic water towns of the Jiangnan region – which literally means "south of the river" and refers to the area south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River – this picturesque getaway at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall features a blend of traditional architecture, tranquil canals, immersive cultural experiences, and above all, the warm, easygoing feel of a holiday escape.
