The early winter is reminiscent of a mysterious princess, slowly walking to us. As she walks, she turns the mountains, reservoirs and mountain villages into a white fairyland. And Gubei Water Town is just one of the corners of this snowy world.

Gubei Water Tower lies in the arms of Tanghe (汤河) river, with the Simatai Great Wall being as its background. Surrounded by mountains and waters and overlooked by the Great Wall, the water town in north China gives off a feel of grandeur as well as the charm that only a water town in south China can have.

The little town at the foot of the Great Wall in the north is experiencing the winter when snow falls and one walks into a world of mountains, water and an ancient town. The most amazing and attractive travel experiences can be found here, and the hot springs are awaiting your arrival. No matter where you go, outdoors or indoors, you can taste the great fun of the winter in the little town. Christmas Day is coming and a fairy tale is becoming reality in this town. Please come and enjoy!
