Beishui Town is a place that many Beijingers yearn for. It is like a paradise, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Everything here reflects people's increased interest in life and meets everyone's needs and entertainment.
Let’s introduce it in detail below.
In Gubei Water Town, we learned about the charm of Simatai Great Wall in a novel and unique way, experienced the splendor of traditional Chinese handicrafts and performing arts, ate delicious food, encountered soulful teahouses, and stayed in boutique hotels.
Gubei Water Town is not only suitable for Beijing citizens to have an outing in Beijing, but also for foreign friends and foreigners.
Introduction to shops and venues The clothes the three of us wore were bought at the shop in front of Yongshun Dyeing House in Gubei Water Town, and they were all plant-dyed.
My children and I wore cloth, and my mother-in-law wore linen.
The fabrics are comfortable, the styles are generous, the quality is good, and the prices are moderate. It is different from the problems of homogeneity, high prices or poor quality that are common in other attractions.
I really like the commercial tone of the entire Gubei Water Town. The items sold in each store are not the same.
Yongshun Dyeing House Yongshun Dyeing House was founded in 1900 by Zhang Jukui, a native of Gubeikou.
When he was young, he learned the dyer's skills first hand.
He made his own plant dyes using local plants in Gubeikou, and the cloth he dyed was uniform, gorgeous and long-lasting.
As a result, "Yongshun Ran" became famous in Gubei and also became famous in Beijing.
The first thing you see when you enter the door is the drying field of Yongshun Dyeing House. This is where printed and dyed fabrics are dried, and it is also the last process of the dyeing house.
Yongshun Dyeing Workshop has a special film.
Anyone who comes has to take a few photos among the high hanging cloths.
The children played hide-and-seek in the colorful sea of ??cloth, and their happy laughter rippled through the courtyard.
In the back room, you can learn about the basic knowledge and techniques of China's printing and dyeing industry, and you can also experience the dyeing process first-hand.
Many workshops in Beishui Town offer interactive experiences.
The painted kites on the wall of the Kite Culture Center, the Beijing Shayan kites in the shed, the semi-finished kites made by the master, and the historical kites displayed in the Kite Museum allow us to feel the history and culture of kites in different schools and different regions.
You can also make your own unique kite with the help of a kite master.
Shadow Puppet Theater Children can experience the unique charm of China’s intangible cultural heritage here.
Images, animal totems, plus a curtain, shine under the mapping of lights and the control of the handle, becoming each living life, interpreting a series of legendary stories that will amaze you.
If you have the time and interest, you can also experience the shadow puppet making process by selecting pictures, cutting, drawing, coloring, drying, etc.
You can choose from various patterns of magnetic paper-cutting and DIY paper-cutting from Dianjianzhi, or you can participate in making them yourself.
Experience the production of various traditional hand-painted New Year pictures at the Nianhua Workshop, bringing a strong festive atmosphere to the water town.
In addition to various combs, Lu Wanbi Fangshu also sells exquisite headwear and handmade soaps.
Xinglong Shoe House hand-embroidered shoes, hand-held thousand-layer cloth shoes, cloth tigers, and pendants with hundreds of family names. Every stitch and thread of hand-embroidery is art; you can also hand-paint graffiti on the shoes to create a unique pair of shoes.
Tangji'an Lantern Shop sells various lanterns.
The master can hand-make lanterns on site, and you can also experience it yourself.
Cheng Pu sells various mahogany scales, faucet scales, dragon and phoenix scales, gold and silver scales and other scales, which is eye-opening.
Sima Shaoshao, one of the three treasures of Miyun, has the reputation of Beijing Laobaigan, comparable to Erguotou.
The main raw materials of Sima Shao are red sorghum and other grains, and it is brewed using traditional techniques.
Dry enough, with a strong aroma, sweet and refreshing.
At the brewery, you can learn about brewing techniques and buy soju.
The two brothers Chenxi bought a bottle for their grandfather. The brothers were very filial.
Eight Flags Club As one of the eight scenic spots in Gubei Water Town, the Eight Flags Club is undoubtedly a special existence.
Ancient Xiongguan, as the chokepoint of the capital, was the residence of Huang Zhengqi of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
In the guild hall, you can feel the majestic appearance of the soldiers stationed on the border and experience the customs and customs of the horseback people.
When I was tired of shopping, I took off my shoes and soaked in the foot bath at the entrance of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
Introduction to the Great Wall of Sima It is not a hero to visit the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is a must-see tourist attraction for everyone who travels to Beijing for the first time.
The famous Badaling Great Wall is crowded all year round.
Why not come to Gubei Water Town and experience the charm of the Great Wall in a different way.
Shuigu Town is located at the foot of the famous Simatai Great Wall.
The Simatai Great Wall was praised as "the most beautiful Great Wall in China" by Luo, a Chinese Great Wall conservation expert, and was listed first among the "25 unmissable attractions in the world" by the British "Times". It is a world heritage-level landscape.
In Gubei Water Town, you can see the Simatai Great Wall from many angles.
I booked "Great Wall Yoga" for the night view of the Great Wall and experienced the feeling of doing sun salutations in the morning light.
Occasionally there will be naughty ants chirping and cicadas chirping in my ears on the yoga mat.
The breeze and sunshine were energizing and I felt strongly that I was a part of nature.
Riding the Great Wall is really hard to stop.
The children and mother-in-law took a nap while I rode the Yuanyang Lake section by myself.
