When the colors of the South were still green-based

The North has vigorously wielded the brush

It's rendering the fall in its full glory.

Through this vacation travel experience

I'm sure many of you have realized

Along with the National Day long vacation crowd gradually ebb tide

The Imperial City is finally welcoming it

The most beautiful time of the year

Autumn in the city may not be too obvious yet.

But somewhere outside the city, it's already here.

The leaves and branches are gradually tinted with an eye-catching red.

Between the gray walls and the tiles, the leaves are in full bloom.

Autumn winds, mountains and water, all the eyes are tender and loving.

......

If I don't say

You probably think it's a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In fact, it's the "other Jiangnan" hidden in the depths of Beijing.

This is the same place as Wuzhen.

Gubei Water Town.

The Gubei Water Town at the foot of the Great Wall is red.

For people in the north who long for the rainy south of the Yangtze River

Gubei Water Town has always been the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region

Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions for leisure, play and vacation

It has the tenderness and poetry of the Jiangnan Water Town.

But not as far away as you would like to be

It is located in Gubeikou Town, Miyun, with Yuanyang Lake Reservoir.

It's only 120 kilometers away from the city

It takes only 1.5 hours by car to complete a "time change".

Not to mention the shuttle buses and the super high quality Huaimi Line.

It's so convenient!

For many old Beijingers

For many old Beijingers, this is a good place to find memories of old Beijing.

Although Gubei Water Town is based on Jiangnan, it is not an exact replica of Jiangnan.

It has its own irreplaceable

It has its own irreplaceable features, such as the green stone road, the flowing water, the distant mountains, and the foot of the Great Wall.

......

The perfect combination of mountain, water and city

The perfect combination of mountain-water-city makes it both gentle and delicate in the south and hard and bold in the north.

It is both strong and soft, ancient and new.

In addition, the Ming and Qing Dynasty and Republic of China styles of architecture

A mountain compound with northern characteristics

City buildings, streets and courtyard walls belonging to the old times

As well as a lot of Beijing folklore that is not often seen nowadays ......

Every stroke of the pen outlines

The deep-rooted dream of Beiping in everyone's heart

What you may not know is

This "Beiping City" is at its most beautiful moment!

You've probably seen Gubei Water Town under the misty rain.

You've seen Gubei Water Town under the lights.

You've seen Gubei Water Town under the flying snow.

But have you ever seen the Gubei Water Town in autumn?

In October, the water town is probably "Autumn scenery, red leaves full of mountain streams".

Pine paths are suitable, yellow chrysanthemums around the hedges."

Autumn always comes earlier in Gubei Water Town than in other places.

Starting from late September.

This "town of red leaves under the Great Wall" has already started

At this time, the wall full of creepers under the early fall sunshine.

Is gradually showing a dazzling red

Gloriously and warmly displaying the way autumn should look like.

As time goes by, the deep red spreads.

Will become the romantic color of the town

Although, Beijing has no shortage of places to enjoy autumn.

But I personally think

The beautiful scenery of autumn is stuck in the small town time.

Unlike Xiangshan Mountain, Pofengling and other scenic spots of the mountains and mountains of red leaves

Gubei Water Town's red leaves have

Plants and architecture, scenery and humanities combined with a unique sense of beauty

It is depicted in the colors of "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, gray and white".

It's a one-of-a-kind poetic scroll.

It has the tenderness of the south, but also the romance of the north.

Warm and unrestrained, beautiful and vivid.

How beautiful is Gubei Water Town in October?

In autumn, a boat trip is also an unforgettable memory.

The hotels, inns, and autumn colors on both sides of the river move.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the sculling boat, following the waterway roaming

And you'll be able to see the beauty of the town in your eyes and in your heart.

Night tour of the water town--Looking back at the end of the lights

Gubei Water Town at night seems to have more flavor than during the day.

When the lights go on, the red leaves are quietly hidden in the night color.

The whole water town is quiet and gentle, which is the other appearance of the autumn color.

At this time, with lights at night to visit Simatai, in the bar drinking and chatting

Watch the stunning show, soak in the hot springs to recognize the constellations in the sky ......

The leisure life of this "city that never sleeps" has become

Looking up at the sky with lanterns

Every night, in the town's Sun Moon Island Square.

A drone light show is staged.

This is the first time that drones and lanterns are combined in China.

It is also a unique lantern event created by Gubei Water Town.

Accompanied by lyrical music

Hundreds of drone lanterns float into the night sky of the town.

The sky is full of lights, it's so beautiful.

It's like the stars in the Milky Way, dreamy and romantic.

The Great Wall is the backdrop, and the drone is in the night sky.

The drone will create various patterns in the night sky.

Kites, wine altars, the Great Wall, ...... are all beautifully rendered.

The whole show lasted more than ten minutes, but no one wanted to be in the show.

The dream woven by light, music and technology.

Watching the dreamy sound and light water dance show

Equally mesmerizing as the peacock lantern show is the

Dreamy Great Wall Musical Water Dance Show

The musical fountain at the Wangjing Building is turned on regularly every night.

That's another night view of Gubei Water Town that can't be missed.

The melodious music and the changing colors of the lights

Water columns dancing to the rhythm, and the dazzling flames that appear from time to time ......

The magic of water continues to play in the night

The fountain show continues

The 3D naked eye illusion will hit your eyes immediately.

Water, fire, music and technology

In this mesmerizing night

Staged a collision of art and technology

It's a show that's just like a

"feast" for the eyes and ears.

Exploring the Great Wall at night, overlooking the lights.

Of course, the most anticipated part is to climb the Great Wall at night with lanterns.

Unlike the Simatai Great Wall in the daytime.

The Simatai Great Wall at night is illuminated by lights.

It is less dangerous and more soft.

On top of the Great Wall, there is not the hustle and bustle of a water town.

Only the evening breeze and the stars in the sky.

View from Simatai Great Wall

The night view of the illuminated water town is breathtaking

At that moment, it's hard to tell whether it's bright, dreamy or romantic.

I only feel that time slows down in the haze of light and shadow. ......

Sleeping in the water town--Pillow dream star sleep

Staying at the foot of the Great Wall is a kind of return

From the hustle and bustle of the city

Back to the slow time in the old days when the rhythm was soothing

Eight Banners Inn

It's a star-studded inn that's a favorite for variety shows.

It's hidden in an alley with creepers all over the walls.

A unique courtyard in the north

The kang-type rooms are designed in the Northeast style, and there is a hot spring in the courtyard.

are the reasons why travelers love this place.

The rooms at Bags are not large, but they are cozy.

Ideal for couples or families of three

Spend the day in the town.

In the evening, return to the inn to soak in the hot springs

Comfortable and cozy

Lay down on the bed after the bath, the temperature is just right.

You can sleep until dawn.

Gosha Onsen Hotel

The price of Gosha is a little higher than that of the specialty inns.

However, the price is justified, the Japanese style of all solid wood decoration

The environment is quiet and elegant, full of Zen.

Simple but cozy, low-profile but not lose style

There are 32 rooms, including single-floor and duplex rooms.

Each room has a private hot spring, private and family-friendly.

We recommend the duplex family suite.

Two-story room with two separate rooms and bathrooms.

There are also two bathtubs, so if you want to simply take a bath, you can do it downstairs.

If you want to have a comfortable hot spring bath, you can go to the second floor.

For families, the tatami-mat rooms are for children.

However, I think that even if the two of you are staying together.

There's plenty of space, and you don't have to worry about privacy.

It's cost-effective, so it's a win-win situation.

In addition, there is an indoor furore pool next to the lobby.

and two outdoor whirlpools

The outdoor hot springs are the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful fall colors.

Here, the Great Wall is close and the starry sky is low.

The autumn breeze is cool, but the warmth is within reach.

You can see the view from the window and enjoy the peace in the room.

Inside the door "home", outside the door "vacation".

This is the life you've always dreamed of.

In addition, the town also has a "hidden" paradise.

In Orchid Valley, modern, exotic and original.

Three hotels of different styles have long been in harmony with nature.

A place of peace and quiet.

We highly recommend the Fire Pit Hotel in Orchid Valley.

It's so culturally rich.

Fire Pond Hotel

Unlike other hotels in the water town, the Fire Pool is more of a

To express a kind of regional spirit that belongs to the Great Wall's cultural lineage.

Inspired by the combination of "Hakka Tulou" and "The Great Wall".

And harmoniously integrates the Tibetan elements that represent the regional characteristics.

Natural, mysterious and quiet

The three elements of Tibetan culture are embodied here to the fullest extent.

Entering the room

Carpet, sofa, mural, table and chairs, bathtub ......

At a glance, it is full of strong Tibetan culture.

The spatial distribution of the guest rooms also seems to be designed for the Great Wall.

Lobby, guest rooms, swimming pool, restaurant

No matter where you are, you can enjoy the mountain view.

While staying here, you can enjoy the exotic flavor of the country.

The sun and the moon can be easily embraced.

Enjoy a rare poetry in the cozy atmosphere

Of course, the town's hotels don't stop there.

And there's more than that to choose from.

Like the Dart Inn, which is full of martial arts atmosphere.

The old Beijing courtyard house style Duan Family Residence.

New Youth Art Hotel in the style of the Republic of China

Thirteen Sisters Women's Hot Spring Hotel in the style of celebrities

Hakodani Sanso Boutique Hotel in the Japanese casual style

Minimalist Nenjo Hotel, etc.

All of them are good choices for staying in the town.

So, while the time is right, autumn is in full swing.

Let's go to an autumn feast at the foot of the Great Wall.
