The Great Wall is always impressive—but seeing it at night? That's the next level.

Imagine standing on an ancient watchtower with stars above, cool mountain air around you, and not a single tour bus in sight. The usual crowds are gone. The Wall glows softly under warm lights. It’s peaceful, powerful, and unforgettable.

With Your Way Holiday, you don’t just visit the Great Wall. You experience it in a way few others do—under the stars.

Why Visit the Great Wall at Night?

Most tours hit the Wall in the morning or afternoon. That’s great—but also crowded, hot, and sometimes rushed. A night tour is completely different.

It’s quieter. It’s cooler. And it feels more personal.

At night, the Wall becomes more than a landmark. It becomes a moment.

With Your Way Holiday, we take you to one of the only officially lit and accessible sections for evening visits—Simatai.

Why Simatai?

Simatai Great Wall, located in Gubei Water Town, is one of the few sections open at night. It’s steep, dramatic, and partially unrestored—giving you a true sense of ancient China.

At night, Simatai is lit just enough to guide your way without ruining the magic.

You walk at your own pace. You take in the mountain views. You pause to look up at the stars. It’s peaceful in a way daytime tours just can’t offer.

Your Way Holiday offers private, guided evening trips to Simatai, complete with round-trip transport from Beijing. No large groups. No loud crowds. Just the Wall, the sky, and your own quiet adventure.

What to Expect on the Evening Tour?

We usually begin in the afternoon, leaving Beijing around 3–4 PM.

Your Way Holiday local guide will share stories and local insights. The sun will just begin to dip before you reach the Gubei Water Town

Head to the Wall and stroll through cobbled streets in Gubei. Think red lanterns, gentle canals, and little cafés tucked between stone buildings. It is a charming and calm setting in the evening.

Then, as night falls, we take the cable car up to Simatai. From there, you can explore the Wall on foot, camera in hand, stars overhead.

The Magic of Simatai at Night

Here’s what makes Simatai at night truly special:

The silence. Hear the inwd and footsteps in the peace.

The views. Lit towers stretching along ridgelines. Distant lights from the village below.

The vibe. Peaceful. Reflective. A little surreal.

Your Way Holiday guides don’t rush you. We give you time to soak it all in, find photo spots, or just sit and take a deep breath.

Is It Safe and Family-Friendly?

Yes—and yes.

Simatai is one of the safest sections for night visits. Everything is well-maintained. The cable cars make it easy, and the walking paths are solid.

Your Way Holiday provides headlamps and warm layers in cooler months. We always keep your comfort first.

Traveling with kids or older adults? We adjust the pace and route to fit your group. That’s the beauty of a private tour—it’s all about you.

Make It Even More Special

Want to add dinner in Gubei Water Town before or after the walk? Done.

Why Go at Night?

Because it’s rare. Because it’s peaceful. And it’s a memory you will cherish for years to come.
