Gubei Water Town - 🎫 Tickets: 140 yuan (80 yuan for night show) - ✨ Features: "Little Jiangnan" in the north, super beautiful night view, Simatai Great Wall is nearby (can be combined with other tours). - Tips: Enter the park after 3pm to avoid the crowds and watch the drone light show at night! 2.

The glass plank road must be checked in. 4. Tanzhe Temple - 🎫 Tickets: 50 yuan - ✨ Features: "Tanzhe Temple came first, then Beijing City", a thousand-year-old temple, super spiritual for seeking marriage! - ⏰ Time: There are fewer people in the morning, and the vegetarian meal is worth a try. --- ### Food Recommendations - Guijie Street (Beijing city): crayfish, stewed pork and steamed buns (Hu Da Restaurant is recommended). - Gubei Water Town Barbecue Restaurant: Miyun Reservoir fish + freshly grilled barbecue, 60 yuan per person, full! - Huairou Rainbow Trout Yitiaogou: Freshly caught and grilled rainbow trout, 50 yuan per person per farmhouse. - Yanqing Yongning Ancient City Huo Shao: 1.5 yuan/piece, the meat is super delicious, and you can buy a tofu feast on the way. --- ### 💤 Save money on accommodation - **Beijing Hutong Youth Hostel**: ✔ The average price is 80-120 yuan/night. We recommend "Peking International Youth Hostel", which is close to the subway and has a good atmosphere. - Farmhouses around the scenic area: ✔ A kang room in a farmhouse near Shidu/Mutianyu, about 100 yuan, including breakfast (remember to bargain!). - Hotel chain special offers: ✔ Home Inn/Hanting (Beijing branch outside the Fifth Ring Road), minimum price of 160 yuan/night for booking 7 days in advance. --- ### 🚗 Transportation Tips - It is recommended to drive yourself from Beijing (rental cost is 150 yuan per day) or take a bus directly to the scenic spot (saves money but requires checkpoints). - Subway + bus combination: Download the "Beijing ICP Pass" APP and scan the code to take the bus for super convenient. --- ### 📅 Classic 2-day tour route **Day1**: Beijing City → Mutianyu Great Wall (morning) → Rainbow Trout Lunch → Overnight in Gubei Water Town Day 2: Morning photo shoot at Gubei Water Town → Simatai Great Wall (optional) → Stop by Huairou to eat grilled fish on the way back --- 💡 Tips: - Avoid weekends!
