Shichahai

Shichahai, a historic scenic area in the northern part of central Beijing, encompasses three interconnected lakes: Front Lake (Qianhai), Back Lake (Houhai), and West Lake (Xihai). Surrounded by traditional hutong alleyways, this area offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. In winter, visitors can enjoy ice skating on the frozen lakes, while summer brings the opportunity to explore the waters by pedal boat. Year-round, the vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by the availability of snacks and beverages, making Shichahai a lively and dynamic part of Beijing.
