Is Shichahai really worth visiting?
✨Efficient and not tiring tour of Shichahai (it's best to come around just before noon)
Start from the small alley next to the south gate of the Lotus Flower Market, where you can first encounter 'Sanhe Daoxiang Village'. There are several Daoxiang Village shops here, and you can choose to buy specialties as needed
Following the path, you can see 'Nanmen Shuanrou'! Remember to get a number first because you can only get a number offline and the waiting time starts from at least an hour and a half
After getting the number, continue along the path, cross the small bridge to the opposite bank to find 'Sugar House Coffee'. Here you can enjoy the air conditioning, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the moment of tranquility. After a short rest, you can go and eat authentic old Beijing instant-boiled mutton.
Additionally, the Lotus Flower Market has many interesting cultural and creative shops and photo shoot spots. After eating, it's also great to stroll around the lively market. Wait until the evening sunset to return to Shichahai, find the Yinding Bridge to watch the sunset, and wait for the sea of orange, it's really beautiful!
🎙Introduction:
Shichahai is a historical and cultural tourism scenic area and a historical and cultural preservation area in Beijing. Located in the central urban area of Xicheng District, it is the largest and most intact historical district in Beijing.
Shichahai includes three bodies of water: Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and the adjacent areas, echoing the 'Front Sanhai', commonly known as 'Back Sanhai'. Shichahai is also written as 'Shicha Sea'. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has become a place for leisure and summer retreat, and is one of the famous scenic spots in Yanjing
💕Tips:
If you want to take a boat tour, there are several ports, but you generally have to queue for a long time, and it's super hot to tour the lake in hot weather, so be prepared for sun protection to prevent heatstroke
Many bars in Houhai are traps, don't get tricked
To get a good seat at Sugar House Coffee, you need to go early and wait
Nanmen Shuanrou serves too much food, so order less
Shichahai is really beautiful, it is not enough to wear clothes, it is a bit cold, but there are many cars and cars. It is fun. Large and small friends are super happy. 100 people are very fun. If you can store your bags, it will be better.
The best place to experience the old Beijing style, while sitting three rounds while watching the scenery and listening to the explanation, if you buy a bunch of rock sugar gourds, it will be more beautiful! The master of the car also chose the best location for Shichahai to take pictures! Finally, I went to the Houhai Bar to listen to songs and drink drinks, a very good experience!
The night view at night is very beautiful, the lively bar street has become a more colorful scenery here, many stars have been singing here before becoming famous, but also more famous bar street. This is Beijing's historical and cultural tourism scenic area and historical and cultural reserve, with a rich historical and cultural heritage, this area is also the original old Beijing's main commercial activity area. With the increase of tourists, there are gradually some ancient cultural shops, snack streets and bars, etc., a tourist attraction with rich historical and cultural connotations, tourists can enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains here, and feel the historical style of ancient Beijing. It also became one of the cultural streets of Beijing.
The service is good and it is a special experience for children. It is also very interesting to turn around the small alley in Beijing. The master will also explain along the way, introducing the surrounding scenery and attractions.
Shichahai Houhai is the most lively night market attraction in Beijing. There are many time-honored restaurants here, including stew barbecue and old Beijing snacks. There are Drum Tower, Yandai Xie Street, Wanning Bridge, and Fire Temple. There are dozens of bars on both sides of the Houhai, which is very lively.
It was midsummer, and the calm water on the Shichahai in Beijing was full of lotus fragrance and cruise ships. The greenery on both sides of the Straits was full of greenery. The distant mountains could be seen on the Yinxuan Bridge, and the summer was full of meaning. The Shichahai in summer is still one of the most historical areas in Beijing. If the famous Gong Wangfu, one of the eight small scenes of Yanjing, "Yinxuan Guanshan" is the "facade" of Shichahai, then the surrounding crisscrossed alleys, the piece of the big yard, chess chatting uncles make this place full of fireworks, is Shichahai "lizi". In the hot summer, stroll in Shicha Sea Scenic Area, you can see the weeping willows, bow your head to watch the fish play in the water, the lotus blossom, it is very comfortable and leisurely. In the middle of summer, stroll along the lake or boating on the lake, find a tranquility and coolness, and feel the unique charm of Beijing.
