Gubei Water Town, with its myriad postures and ancient charm

Gubei Water Town is named for its style reminiscent of Wuzhen, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, due to its location in Simatai Village, Gubeikou, Miyun, Beijing. Backed by the Simatai Great Wall, which is the most beautiful and dangerous in China, and embracing the Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir, it is a rare natural ancient village that combines mountains, water, and city on the outskirts of Beijing. The entire ancient town of Gubei Water Town was redeveloped based on the original three natural villages and is a modern newly built vacation-style town with unique northern characteristics. The town covers an area of 9 square kilometers and is divided into several areas: the Old Camp area, the Republic of China Street area, the Water Street area, the Wolong Fort Folk area, the Tang River Ancient Fort area, and the Homestay Dining and Hou Chuan Zen Valley, etc. The architectural style of the town is diverse and antique, with stone bridges, green tiles and white walls, and colorful folk stalls that dazzle the eyes. The clear river water flows between the streets and buildings of the ancient town, and at this moment, the fishing boats sail past you, presenting a unique waterside scenery. People praise this place as the 'Southern Yangtze River under the blue sky and white clouds of the north'!
