Description
Day 1: Beijing → Zhangbei Grassland → Gubei Water Town
Begin your journey with a complimentary dental cleaning service at Youle Dental (North 5th Ring Road branch) before setting off from Beijing. Travel via the Jingzang Expressway and Zhangshi Expressway toward the Zhangbei Grassland.
Explore the most scenic section of the 'Grassland Sky Road' (from Yuhuling to the 'Magnificent Scenery' [Dahaohéshān] Viewing Platform). Admire the picturesque landscapes featuring rolling grasslands, gentle hills, clusters of wind turbines, and the winding highway itself.
Head to the Swan Lake Wetland for sightseeing and photography. The lake and grassland complement each other beautifully, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll and photo ops. Then, travel by vehicle to Gubei Water Town.
Check in to your hotel and enjoy free time to explore the night scenery of Gubei Water Town. Enjoy the light show at Simatai Great Wall and the Water Dance Show, immersing yourself in the nocturnal atmosphere of this 'Northern Water Town.'

After breakfast, tour the core attractions of Gubei Water Town, including the Yongshun Dye Workshop, Zhenyuan Escort Agency, Eight Banners Guild Hall, Sun & Moon Island Square, and the distinctive alleyways and streets of the Water Town.
Hike along the highlights of the eastern section of the Simatai Great Wall. Built along the mountain ridges, the Great Wall here offers expansive panoramic views and stands as a quintessential example of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall architecture in North China.
