  • BEIJING, CHINA - NOVEMBER 22: A view of the Gubei Water Town where Ming Dynasty architecture meets the Great Wall in rare tranquility on November 22, 2025 in Beijing, China. Located at the foot of the Simatai section of the Great Wall, Gubei reflects China's modern approach to heritage tourism  a carefully reconstructed ancient town opened in 2014, designed to blend historical authenticity with contemporary comfort, revealing the intimate scale of traditional courtyards, the graceful engineering of moon gates and arched bridges forming circular reflections in still water, and the striking contrast between glowing pagodas and the Great Wall rising into the night. As evening falls, the town becomes a stage of light and technology. Water and light shows animate the canals, while synchronized drone displays create huge moving figures in the sky above traditional rooftops. (Photo by Yair Palti/Anadolu via Getty Images)
