🥩 The Best Hotpot Meal I Had in Shichahai, Beijing!

#hellohalloween If you want to experience authentic Beijing-style copper pot hotpot, this spot by Shichahai Lake is a must! I brought a friend here, and we both left absolutely satisfied — especially since we were lucky enough to get a window seat with a lake view. Watching the spring scenery while the hotpot bubbles away? Perfection. 🌸 This place has been a family favorite since I was a kid — we’ve always loved their beef, lamb, and sesame buns, and the quality has never disappointed. Everything tastes fresh and rich, just like old-school Beijing hotpot should. 🔥 Must-order dishes: • Freshly sliced lamb leg 🐑 • Fresh beef tripe 🐄 • Sweet pickled garlic 🧄 • Baked sesame flatbread (烧饼) 🥯 The sesame sauce dip deserves a special mention — thick, nutty, and perfectly balanced, it ties all the flavors together. 💡 Tips: If you come during weekends or holidays, it can get crowded. Take a queue number first, then stroll around Yandai Xiejie Street or Shichahai Lake while waiting — by the time you’re back, your table will likely be ready! 📍 Address: No. 2 Qianhai East Extension, Xicheng District, Beijing 🚇 Nearest Subway: Shichahai Station, Exit A2 (Northwest) 🍲 Verdict: Classic Beijing hotpot, unbeatable flavor, and an even better view — definitely my top meal in Shichahai! ❤️
