Back Lakes (Hou Hai)

Beautiful famous lake here in Beijing during sunset! Came here when the lake was frozen & there were lots of people trying to skate around. Best view here during sunset! ❄️

Houhai is an ancient lake surrounded by many traditional alleys and courtyards. You can take a walk by the lake and enjoy the views of the lake and ancient buildings. In the evening, the lakeside bar and restaurant are also a good choice, where you can also taste traditional Beijing cuisine and enjoy the nightlife. Attractions around Shichahai: Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Chun's Mansion, Qingwang's Mei Lanfang's Former Residence, Guo Moruo Memorial Hall, Guanyue Temple, Guanghua Temple, Deshengmen Jianlou, Huitong, Yinxuanqiao Yandai Xie Street, Ya'er Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, Beiluoguxiang, Guoguxiang

Yesterday I went to Houhai. There were a lot of people early in the morning. If it was night, the bar street would be more lively. If you are tired, you can take a rickshaw. The driver will also explain and help take pictures. For me who travels alone, I am worried that no one will take pictures, but the cost is a little expensive.

There are many seas in Beijing, and Houhai is a more famous one. The scenery here is pleasant and it is very suitable for walking after dinner. You can feed wild ducks here, and there are some small vendors on the shore to charter a car for business. Of course, there are also some cruise ships and projects to choose from in the "sea". If you are lucky, you can see several water sports athletes training, full of youthful vitality.

Houhai Park is located on the west side of the Drum Tower, Song Qingling's former residence, Yandai Xie Street, and Yinqianguanshan are all located on the back seaside. I personally think that the better way is to ride, ride around Houhai, and stop and stop, which is still very good.

From Houhai to Qianhai, I prefer the silence of Qianhai to the hustle and bustle of Houhai. Qianhai Wetland Park is really recommended for night view! It takes more than half an hour to circle the pot around, and the small wooden road between the lake is very artistic! Recommended!
