beijing dongzhimen / wangjingxi to jinshanling bus route

Question

I'm asking this for a trip on 25 June 2023, post pandemic. Is there still a bus route from Dongzhimen or Wangjingxi to Jinshanling Great Wall? If yes, what time do they depart and return?Also I would like to travel from Jinshanling to Gubei Water Town. Will there be taxis around the area? If yes, how much does it usually cost?Lastly, is there a bus from Gubei Water Town back to Beijing? Or do I have to take the taxi and return to Jinshanling again. I read online there was a bus but when I enquire them on Wechat they say they are no longer operating the route. Not sure if there are other routes.Please help! Many thanks!

1. There is not so much news about Jinshanling. I heard someone saying it departs from Dongzhimen at 7:40 and returns at 16:00. However, it is hard to find more information to confirm. 2. Generally, there are not too many taxis or private cars around Jinshanling, so it depends your luck. It generally costs about CNY 40-60. Maybe you cna use those car-hailing apps, which increases the possibilities to hiring a car.3.  There used to be a bus departing from Gubei Water Town at 17:00 back to Dongzhimen. However, it is also a little hard to confirm. It takes a lot to take a taxi to Beijing, maybe more than CNY 400.
