Three-day rail and local-transfer route
Detailed itinerary
Day 1: Train to Gubeikou and overnight near the Wall
Travel independently from Beijing North Railway Station at Xizhimen on the confirmed morning service. The local team meets you at Gubeikou station and transfers you to the base for the first day’s arrangements.
Explore the selected Gubeikou section and prepare for the overnight outdoors. A local dinner and the supplied camping equipment are arranged according to your package. Train times and the campsite are reconfirmed for your dates.
Day 2: Sunrise and Jinshanling hiking
Start with the early light and breakfast before transferring to Jinshanling. The planned itinerary allows approximately 3–3.5 hours for a walk from the main entrance toward the eastern exit.
Your booking identifies whether this section is guided or independently walked with transfer support. The team explains the direction, exit and collection time so you can concentrate on the towers and ridge scenery while keeping the return meeting practical.
After lunch, rest at the local base. If time and opening hours allow, you may visit the village’s museum about the area’s twentieth-century battles. Spend the second night in the hotel or guesthouse specified in your proposal.
Day 3: Simatai and Gubei Water Town
Transfer to Gubei Water Town for access to the separately managed Simatai scenic area. Explore the available towers or use an agreed cable-car option, then spend time beside the town’s waterways and traditional-style buildings.
Allow roughly four hours for the combined visit, adjusted to the booked tickets and your pace. Later, return to Gubeikou station for the confirmed train to Beijing.
Planning your visit
The first and second nights use different accommodation styles. Your itinerary lists meals, guiding, rail tickets, transfers and lift charges clearly so the independent and supported parts are easy to follow.
