Shichahai
Summer is really the perfect season for traveling, and many friends who come to Beijing must visit Nanluoguxiang and Shichahai. As a local, here's a guide on how to enjoy the area~
•
Take the subway line 8 to Shichahai Station, exit A2
① Yandai Xiejie:
A very famous hutong next to Shichahai, where you can visit the 'Guangfu Temple' for free. Don't miss it if you pass by. Following this path, you can directly turn to Houhai.
2 Shichahai: There are rickshaws, super-long dragon lanterns, pleasure boats, and a bar street. It's crowded, so it's recommended to walk through the hutongs to avoid the crowds. The scenery is more beautiful with fewer people, and it's easy to take great photos. Guo's Monkey King, Wang Chifeng's Royal Kite Studio, and others are all located in these hutongs~
3 Mr. Yang's Mutton Hot Pot: After a tiring walk, it's perfect to come here for hot pot. Their place is right next to the Shichahai subway station exit, and the average cost per person is just over 100 yuan, which is a great value for money. The beautiful terrace offers views of the Drum Tower, Houhai, and China Zun. It's just perfect!
4 Nanluoguxiang: After a satisfying meal, go for a stroll in Nanluo. It's recommended to enter through the south gate, so when you come out, you can directly reach Beiluoguxiang. There are many popular shops here. It's suggested to walk from the main street to the side streets, which are quieter and great for taking photos.
5 Beiluoguxiang: Compared to the hustle and bustle of Nanluo, there are fewer tourists here, with scattered restaurants and cafes, each with its own unique style, and more of the hutong's flavor~
6 Keduo: Walking back from Beiluoguxiang, there's a bar located above Master Bao's place. Their terrace offers a side view of the Drum Tower, and you can go upstairs to take photos for free even without ordering a drink.
Yi Drum Tower: It's hard to find a good spot at the foot of the Drum Tower. You can take a frontal photo when crossing the road, but be sure to pay attention to safety. If you're short on time, you can wait for another round of traffic lights.
》You can finish touring the area in about half a day. If you have more time, you can wait for the evening, as the night view is also beautiful. For drinks, it's recommended to try Luckin Coffee or Mixue Bingcheng for their affordable prices and good value for money!
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.
