The So So Gubei 💧 town & less HECTIC Great Wall - Day 2 for us as come in late to Beijing, Day 1 tour with Catherine Lu tour. 9.30 am start the trip with driver 小龙 picking up on time.Total about 2 Hrs from Inner Mongolia Grand,pick up Catherine otw to Gubei 💧 town.Town is very big but look so so in the morning. Luckily 🐈herine took us using the easier route for us to go to Simatai. Honestly i dun appreciate the town that much at that time as given the money making history. Still cleverly done. Didn't do the Boat Ride as water was frozen. Took 🚡 up and start Great Wall. Simatai Great Wall was perfect 👌  for me as I hate to squeeze shoulders to shoulders. This part is not so popular as was very far. But I ❤️ it. Had some challenge climb up and down the towers, making you really understand the hardship when building it. Won't recommend when still ice on 🧱 if you really want to take the challenge prepared Ice Cleats. If not get opinion from 🐈. Had late lunch in 💧 town after the climb as was very full from heavy BF. Did a evening tour ard town. Nite was astonishing ard town and Great Wall.Start to value the build ard the area and luckily not much ppl come here still. But at Nite in town you will see the crowd. Had leave right after the wonderful Drones nite show, don't want finish the rest as was too cold for us. Ex Inn ard there so took 🐈 advice got a better and nearer Jinshanling Great Wall Hotel (3-5min away only) ready for the next day climb. Overall Experience was tiring but worth it. ✨️ 👍Need not overwhelmed by people.

Great tour! - I went on a tour to Gubei Water Town and Great Wall tour (did not do the boat tour) with Justin. The tour was great! I was alone in business so was a little nervous, but felt very safe the whole time. Justin and the driver met me at the hotel in the afternoon, and were flexible with the timing. They drove me to the Gubei Water Town. They made every effort to take care of me, telling me the plan and supplying water. Justin took me through the village, helping me buy gifts and food. He was thoughtful of me the whole time and shared a snack. The information was interesting, and he shared some of his experiences and perspectives. He told me to the wall, which was amazing. This is the only section lit up at night, so can be considered for those in business who have limited time. They returned me to my hotel smoothly. The next morning, Justin and the driver picked me up at my hotel again and took me to Tiananmen Sq and the Forbidden City. Again, Justin was flexible with my timing, shared great information and navigated the crowds skillfully. Great tour and I felt safe and taken care of the whole two days!
