Gubei Water Town, inspired by the traditional water towns near Shanghai such as Wuzhen, is nestled beside a picturesque lake with the Great Wall at Simatai rising in the background. This town features rows of stone cottages and winding canals, where locals engage in traditional activities like rice wine making and cloth dyeing. Visitors can explore temples, dine at local eateries, and, in the winter season, admire intricate ice sculptures. The combination of historical charm and cultural experiences offers a glimpse into China’s rich heritage.
