Beijing water town to reopen to visitors after shut down

The attraction will regularly sterilize its tourist service center, hotel reception, service counter and facilities used by customers, Wtown said.

Wtown's intelligent information system provides zero-contact services for customers including online payment, entry to the attraction via QR code scanning and audio guides.

Located in Miyun district of Beijing and also known as Gubei Water town, Wtown is home to natural tranquil scenery featuring the ancient culture of North China with its characteristic courtyard buildings.

To welcome tourists back, Wtown said it has carried out several upgrades to provide visitors with more traditional cultural experiences. These include ancient cloth printing and dyeing, the craft of kite making and traditional products such as rattan items and embroidered shoes.

Located at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall, the only original section of the Great Wall dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), which itself reopened on April 13, Wtown visitors can enjoy ancient structures and a comfortable environment surrounded Yuanyang Reservoir.

During the reopening period, Beijing Wtown has launched discounts for tickets of up to 20 percent for a limited time, the attraction said.
