Gubeikou (Chinese: 古北口; pinyin: Gǔběikǒu; literally: "old north mouth") is a town of Miyun County in northeastern Beijing,[1] bordering with Luanping County, Hebei to the north and the Beijing towns of Gaoling (高岭镇) to the west, Xinchengzi (新城子镇) to the east and Taishitun (太师屯镇). The area is one of the important passes of the Great Wall of China, serving as an ancient chokepoint for travelers between the Northeast and Beijing. As of 2011, it had 4 residential communities (社区) and 9 villages under its administration.[2]
