When I first mentioned this place, Xiao Bian directly said it was ancient shuibei town, and finally I found out that this place was called Gubei Water Town. I have to stagger the names again, so Xiaobian is quite interested in this place.
I have long heard that Gubei Water Town is Wuzhen in the north. Although it is built, the only difference from Wuzhen is that it can have the beauty of four seasons! I think she hardly has a low season! She is also a gathering place for stars and major variety shows.
We choose Thursday and Friday to avoid the weekend crowds (rooms are also the most expensive on Friday and Saturday). In recent days, we have a good rest and are full of physical strength and energy. We enter the Yuhua Expressway intersection in Shijiazhuang at 6 am on Thursday, and it takes about five and a half hours to arrive. It's almost noon, so we can eat our own food or dine around Shuizhen. There is a good Nalanxuan restaurant near the entrance, or we can go in and eat some delicious food while sightseeing.
Let's talk about the general idea first. The main thing is to book hotels. Hotels are divided into inside and outside the water town. The inside is of course more convenient than the outside, so you don't have to always go out. All kinds of hotels and inns in the water town belong to Gubei Group. The Gubei Water Town Hotel and Gubei Light outside the water town also belong to Gubei Group. They are star-rated hotels. If you book these rooms, all tickets for the water town will be sold at 8, including the Great Wall cable car and boat. And car ferry, which will be explained in detail below. Moreover, after entering with paper tickets, you can go in and out for many times on the right side of the ticket entrance, and record fingerprints for many times. If other hotels have some simple folk customs, a room may be only 15 yuan, and the environment is worse. It is about two or three kilometers away from Shuizhen, and the tickets involved, the Great Wall cable car and the boat ticket will be purchased at the original price, and there is no hot spring ticket, and you can't go in and out for many times. So we booked a cabin-style Yanxing Inn in official website for 83 nights. Most hotels can't check in until 3 pm and leave at 12 o'clock the next day. We tried it before 3 o'clock, but we can't check in. Generally, people say that it's only at 3 o'clock. It's not a problem for the hotel to book everything. Listen to me.
My luggage is two big bags, and I also bring an empty bag, so that I can pick out what I want to carry on my back for sightseeing, so as not to be too tired. I just need to pack some snacks and enough mineral water on my back, and then all the fruits I prepared and the water and clothes I want to drink the next day are in two big bags (pay attention to putting everything in boxes or bags, and the bags are not allowed to be checked). At this time, you can go to the tourist service center (. Most luggage can be done in car ferry 1 yuan). First, enter the lobby, pass by Starbucks, go to the visitor center at the innermost part, get your ID card, the front desk will handle the reserved room for you, pay a deposit (the yellow deposit slip for you contains the hotel room information, keep it, and refund the deposit with him), and then buy tickets at a preferential fare, 8 for adults, no charge for children under 1.2, and give you a hot spring ticket according to the number of people who check in. Mine is. Maybe two or three thousand people will have a better hot spring, and then you can check your luggage to your hotel for free. Just check it with the yellow bar of the hotel and fill out the list. At this time, our family of three will have a small backpack, mainly water, so we can visit it lightly.

There are three starting points, from the customer service center to the inn, from the inn to the customer service center and from the customer service center to the parking lot, and finally the parking lot is achieved. These three times are gifts, and they are done for free. Others will cost money if they want to do it.
Overview of the scenic spot map
The tour started at about 12 o'clock. We'll leave the green line below for the next day, because we need to turn back, and we don't want to go. First of all, we walked along the red line and entered the city gate. The first place on the right is the famous baked wheat cake, both of which are restricted. If you want to buy here, you need to apply for a card. The special snacks inside are also restricted, but you can brush WeChat and Alipay. We didn't apply for a card, so we didn't taste the baked wheat cake. This street is full of special snacks and some antique shops and lantern shops selling music boxes, kites, goldfish, scales and lanterns. In the small street between goldfish and lanterns, there is the Temple of the Old Moon. You can go and have a look at it. There is a shouting spring in it. It will be a miracle to shout out I love you, which means beauty. On the left side of this red road, there is a small stage, mainly the Yang family's fast blackboard writing, and on the right side, there is the church on the top of the mountain. The first red box on the left is the visitor center; The second big red box is a square, that is, Riyuedao Square. The main performances are here. On the front, there is the old stage with Allegro performance, and on the left is the Miyun Theater, which has opera performances and is very cool. The third little red box is the inn where we stayed. We chose the middle of the scenic spot, and it is relatively convenient to go to both sides. It's almost three o'clock when we walk to Riyuedao Square, and we will go to our room to have a rest. After all, we go out early in the morning, take a rest and continue in the afternoon.
Simple and quiet

Inside the theater, the middle seat is charged, so you can watch it for free on both sides
After watching the play, cross Riyuedao Square and cross two bridges. The second bridge is the famous snack Qiaotou Cake. This store may be crowded, and you can queue up or eat it the next day or evening. We live near here, so you can wait at any time. If you live far away, you can queue up if you want to eat.

I live in Yanxing Inn, next to a snail powder shop. It tastes a little choking, but it doesn't matter. I will feel it only when I go in and out. I can ignore it. There is a free breakfast, and the side dishes are self-help. The staple food will call you at night to ask what they have. You can choose two favorite foods and tell him. It will be cooked now in the morning, and the restaurant is near the water.
Night view of the restaurant
After a noon break, we plan to move on. The rest are the Eight Banners Guild Hall, where there are wrestling and acrobatics performances, and the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. There are two hot spring pools in front of the Escort Agency where you can soak your feet. If you go straight, you will pass the famous fountain of fire and water. This is 7: pm. At 45 o'clock, Sun Moon Island's program started with two consecutive carnival dances with Cuba at 6.3, with foreign friends leading the dance and pulling the people in front to interact. Finally, many people who love dancing will take the initiative to go up, which is quite happy. Therefore, the afternoon arrangement is to see the rest of the scenic spots before 6 o'clock, and buy tickets for the Great Wall in advance, so as to save the queue, in order to catch up with the Sun Moon Island program, see the fountain after watching the program, climb the Great Wall, and finish the hot spring after coming down. Just buy a ticket for the Great Wall in advance, and you can buy it when you make the boat ticket at the end. Pay attention to the time, but you can't do it after a little. When you walk to the stage of Sima and buy a ticket for the Great Wall, you need to show a deposit slip to get a preferential qualification to buy it. It's more beautiful to visit the Great Wall at night, but there is no feeling when you take a cable car, because it's dark.

Tickets for the Great Wall are ropeways going up and down. The original price for the twin cities at night should be 16, and for those who live in Shuizhen Group, it is 12. Children on ropeways are charged. Adults over 1.5m are charged, but below half price. Two beacon towers are opened at night, and lanterns bought at this time will be used.
After buying the tickets for the night tour of the Great Wall (Duanjia Hot Spring is here), we will go back to Sun Moon Island Square to watch the program, just walk very close, and when we are tired, we will do car ferry. This time, the program is longer, and some small programs are repeated, so we can see it in the evening, such as lion dance and folk acrobatics, without going to that special point, and we can catch the 6.3 pm game, and then there is a spacewalk. We left at the end of the day, because it would be difficult to go out when the crowd dispersed. At this time, the fountain started at 7.45. Although it was Thursday, it was very crowded, as if everyone was waiting for the arrival of the night. There were too many people to watch the hot springs, but soon, let's have a video of the hot springs! If there are few people, it's really pleasant. If there are many people, you can finish the task and just watch it. But you can watch it again when you come back from the Great Wall at night. At this time, there should be fewer people!

After seeing the fountain, you can walk down the road to the Great Wall. Because you bought the tickets in advance, you can just check in.
Let's take a look at the night view of the Great Wall. It's rarely opened for a short time. After going up, the beacon tower is very high, and you won't be allowed to climb it. Consider it for safety, but it's a little pity that you didn't watch it.

Stop at the Great Wall
Originally, we planned to go to the hot springs after the Great Wall ended, but it was almost ten o'clock, so it was very late to get clothes in the hot springs. We decided to go to the hot springs tomorrow morning, and now we will take a boat back to the inn to see the night view. It's not recommended to buy tickets in advance after the Great Wall comes down, because if you come down late, the pier will be closed after the time, and your tickets can only be used until tomorrow.
children have finished the day with a half price of 4
, so they are going back to the inn to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
I ran around all day and slept soundly at night. After the scheduled breakfast in the morning, we took a break and set off at 9 o'clock. The room had to be checked out at 12 o'clock. I didn't want to return after soaking, but it was unnecessary to think about it later, so I packed my things. Check out directly, just give the card to the landlord, and check the luggage directly to the landlord. At this time, the luggage should be mentioned. If you check it in to the customer service center, and there is still a free car ferry that is not used here, you can do it in the parking lot. In this case, you take the luggage and take the car with you to the parking lot, and then you need to carry your luggage to find your car. Therefore, it is recommended to check the luggage in the luggage service center of P2 parking lot at this time, because P2 is a bus and your car belongs to P1. After getting off the bus, my husband can pick up the car without any burden. car ferry will also send me and my children to the luggage center in the P2 parking lot. My husband can drive directly, and then we can take the luggage and load it, so as to avoid looking for a car in the parking lot with our luggage on our backs. It's still quite heavy. After all this, we went straight to Duanjia Hot Springs. Summer was still not suitable. It was too hot. Unlike winter, everyone liked to be warm, and it was very comfortable to soak. We came out without soaking in Takuya.
Drink more bowls of porridge
Duanjia Hot Spring is just 2 meters to the left of the gatehouse. It should be Duanjia soup or something. You don't need to go uphill.
Do you still remember my green line? We used a free ferry ticket to make it to Shanshui City. Where can we directly visit the rest, mainly the dyehouse, shadow play (where there is a performance) and Sima Shaoshao? Friends who love drinking are still there.

This place is next to the customer service center. I wanted to finish reading it, so I went out directly without regret. Actually, it's useless to go in and out temporarily, because we all brought everything. When we went out, we went to check out, mainly to refund the deposit. After that, we went to the parking lot by car and then considered it according to the above. It will be over at almost four o'clock. If you are in a hurry to return to the international presence, you can speed up the tour.
