    This is a great park where it always has something on the lake, either boating or ice skating. There are bars, restaurants, and shopping. I prefer a beautiful lake over the masses on nanluoguxiang

    The lake is pretty fun, but also crowded with pretty aggressive pedicab drivers that hunt you incessantly. Probably better at night with all the bars lining the lake. 🍻

    This place is really nice, prices are really good, live music and good vibe. Better visit in the summer.

    Beware of the boat rides, they’re fun but they let anyone with ¥200 drive them so there’s all kinds of collisions! 🚤

    One of the most folkloric places in Beijing. If you are in winter, don't miss the ice skating. In summer, if you don't fear to suffer from mutation go for a dip.

    Saw ice-skating on the lake, a bunch of ducks dwelling on a side and floating beside the edge. Lots of parked boats, which are probably all around the lake in spring and summer time.

    There are popular bars along the Houhai Bar Street, beautiful scenery from the lakes and lots of old Beijing snacks. What Beijing looks like.

    Beautiful at sunset. Try some of the bars with a rooftop terrace if the weather is good. The view is worth it.

    Nice place to visit early in the evening. At night it can get very crowded.

    almost the most lovely place in all Beijing. Get off from taxi at Lotus Market, walk around the lake clockwise.. countless restaurants and bars, many live music performances

    The hutong neighborhood around Houhai has become known for its nightlife along the lake shore filled with new restaurants, bars, and cafes.

    Rent a 2-3 place bike depending in how many you are. 10 kuai per person, then take a chilly beer in a causy bar around the lake

    You can go ice skating on the lake now!The cheap side is 10-15 rmb entrance. Renting ice skates 30 kuai + 70 deposit.But the ice is a bit crappy.The expensive side is better.Have fun!

    Crowded with tourists during daytime and totally weird at night. Always fun though and an essential part of Beijing.

    Déjà, avec sa pagode, le lac est beau, ensuite, c'est un lieu de vie pékinoise. Mais en hiver, ça devient carrément foufou, avec côte à côte les patineurs et ceux qui viennent prendre un bain glacé!

    Caminas como loco mientras ves mil puestos de lo que te imagines para terminar en algún bar al pie del lago. Ojo, no hay comida para ordenar en ningún bar, come antes de llegar al lago!

    树心旁一定走的是创意路线,因为甜品的摸样都估计是吸取了唐风,走的是胖为美的路线,装在矮矮胖胖的瓷杯子里。看不到全貌也是别种风情。你只好一勺勺的去尝试,每一口都有如未知的甜蜜。也许下一口你会溺死在甜蜜里,也许这一口你还爱着这蜜意。 Read more

    所谓南门涮肉,我看涮的应是后海秋意,夏荷花语,不管是室内的玻璃屋顶还是室外的游人不绝,都在烟雾袅袅中吞下原汁原味的鲜美。吃,最顶级的心境是大隐隐于市。啖一口肉,品一味风情。 Read more

    Виды красивые, но не в коем случае не садитесь здесь кушать, обдерут. Пиво в кафе по 40-50 юаней о чем никто не предупреждает естественно
