Gubei Water Town - A hidden gem of Jiangnan scenery in the north
If you've never been to Jiangnan, Gubei Water Town is also a good choice.
The place is super photogenic, and the scenery inside is quite nice. There are also some Jiangnan snacks like tofu corners, plum cakes, dried vegetable buns, wontons... (But the prices inside are extremely high, a bottle of water costs 8 yuan
Climbing the Great Wall at night is one of the unique features of Gubei Water Town. You can take a ride up and down, and you only need to climb a short section. From the top of the mountain, you can see the entire water town scenery.
There is a drone show at seven o'clock in the evening, which might be just an ordinary drone show and not very spectacular. But Gubei Water Town has a good location, backed by the Great Wall. Two phoenixes fly up from the side of the Great Wall, and with the mountain scenery, it is quite magnificent. Then there are sky lanterns rising from the square, with ancient buildings in the background, complementing each other. Then the drones form many patterns, with 'Happy May Day', '2024', 'Gubei Water Town', 'Simatai Great Wall'... a myriad of changes
Gubei Water Town has already very much restored the feeling of the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan. But after all, it is different. Because I am originally from Shaoxing, I could tell from the first glance at the water town that most of the houses in the water town are made of stone bricks, while the houses in the Jiangnan water towns are mostly wooden structures. Moreover, Gubei Water Town has a heavier commercial atmosphere, while the real Jiangnan water towns are full of the breath of life.
So if you have the time and energy, you should still visit Jiangnan. People's attachment to Jiangnan is not only for the architecture but also for the culture, history, and most importantly, the bustling scene of 'smoky willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and green screens, interspersed with a hundred thousand households'. Because I have always studied in the north, going to Gubei Water Town is also a way of forcibly feeling homesick, haha
Yes, I like the scenery here very much. The tofu corner is really not delicious. The casserole rice noodles are a bit salty and live. Wuhan hot dry noodles are most likely to be noodles. It is very awkward. The plum dry vegetable pot helmet tastes very general. There are many people in line. The scenery is not bad.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 went in August, and the back was the first April. This place is especially suitable for taking pictures in cheongsam. It is good in winter, good in summer, and it is very beautiful and very popular.
Gubei Water Town is a delightful retreat where you can escape the city and immerse yourself in a serene atmosphere surrounded by stunning scenery. The town's ancient architecture and winding waterways create a nostalgic feel, transporting you to another time. As you wander through the cobblestone streets and take in the traditional buildings, you'll be struck by the beauty of the natural landscape. Whether you're exploring historic sites, enjoying a leisurely boat ride, or simply soaking up the peaceful ambiance, Gubei Water Town offers a charming experience that appeals to visitors of all ages. With its mix of cultural heritage and natural beauty, it's no wonder Gubei Water Town is a popular destination for those looking for a memorable getaway.
Gubei Water Town is a scenic resort that combines mountains, water and ancient villages. I went there few years ago and I loved this town.
The drone show and face-changing series of performances at night are truly memorable.
Awesome 👍, beautiful scenery, various snack streets, post-shows, stop and stop, play until 5:30 pm, night tour the Great Wall to watch the sunset, personally recommend 6 to 7 o'clock is the best, the sky is getting dark, and the various shapes of the drones are displayed from a distance. Take the cable car to the mountain at 7:50, just see the fountain and dynamic 3D form. Very shocking, 8:20 ended, the sound was quite loud, I heard it all the way, I went back to rest at 9 o'clock, this is a very satisfying trip
