Nestled beneath the majestic Simatai Great Wall, Gubei Water Town is serving 2025 vacation goals with its perfect blend of ancient architecture and natural wonders. This week, we followed adventurer Ioana through its cobblestone paths to uncover why this destination is trending among Gen-Z travelers.
💧 "It feels like walking through a living watercolor painting!" Ioana exclaimed while crossing arched stone bridges overlooking tranquil canals. The preserved Ming-Qing style buildings now house cozy teahouses and artisan workshops perfect for Instagram stories.
Pro tip: Hike the Simatai Great Wall at sunset for breathtaking views (your future self will thank you 📸). Night owls rejoice – the illuminated town transforms into a magical lantern-lit wonder after dark!
With new eco-friendly shuttle services launched this December, Gubei makes sustainable travel easier than ever. Pack your thermal gear – winter visits mean fewer crowds and hot spring access!
