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

Dave Mc

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 . ????

Bibishi Nu

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

Dave Mc

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

Ivan Garin

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 .

Jyldyz Sattarova

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.

Herbert Yang

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

Kristina Tsanova

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

Parisa Haqiqat

At winter u can enjoy ice skating n at summer rent a boat n go around the lake but restaurants n bars around the lake have expensive price

Emily Xu

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

The Ritz-Carlton

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

Toga Mamora

a great place to hangout. plenty of restaurants and bars . do not worry if someone approaches you trying to bring u to their bars . they just wanna do business.

Ina Li

Pedal boating in summer and ice skating in winter. Best of Beijing!

Jim Bailey

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

The Ritz-Carlton

See a unique side of Beijing by enjoying a romantic sunset boat-ride on the back lake .

Danny Strampel

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!

Kailey L.

It's relaxing and romantic sitting at a bar enjoying a drink over the scenic lake view .

Isky Wsz

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

Marie

Great atmosphere along the lakeside - plenty variety of restaurants and bars .

Quoc Loc Luong

Very nice old style village scene at night, a must place to visit in Beijing!

Be extremely forceful. Belittle, insult, intimidate your way into not getting scammed.

Paco Pala

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 !

Belem Ceballos

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

Precioso lago en una de las zonas más tradicionales de China. Ni se te ocurra marcharte sin haberte tomado una cerveza en la calle Shishahai, con el lago en el horizonte... 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

Sanki egede bir sahil kasabası barlar ve deniz..

Дмитрий Гребенщиков

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

idle sign

Замечательное место. Если удастся не обращать внимание на вело-рикш.

Китайцы называют это озеро "Заднее море"
