Houhai is the largest of the three lakes, along with Qianhai (lit. the Front Lake) and Xihai (lit. the Western Lake), that comprise Shichahai, the collective name for the three northern-most lakes in central Beijing. Since the early 2000s, the hutong neighborhood around Houhai has become known for its nightlife as many residences along the lake shore have been converted into restaurants, bars, and cafes. The area is especially popular with foreign tourists visiting Beijing and is also often visited by the expatriate community and the younger generations of locals.

Houhai Lake and Old Friends in Beijing, China
After walking for hours through Nanluoguxiang Hutong, it was a few more hot blocks to Houhai Lake where we completely petered out and plopped down to rest. A very long walk back to the Days Inn Forbidden City because a taxi would have been impossible. We're talking serious gridlock here...with the Forbidden City, Prince Gong's residence and more tourists sights on the way back. I wish I had a Yuan for every huge tour bus blocking the streets.
Consolation arrived in the form of dinner with Cindy and Tracy, our tour arrangers from Shanghai Far East Expeditions, at the Marriott Hotel. Cindy has managed to come up with good guides, drivers and unusual destinations for over 10 years with the advantage that Shanghai Far East is located in...duh...Shanghai. She is always Cindy on the spot. Tomorrow, it would be into the Khampa area on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Can't wait...
BEIJING HOUHAI LAKE (Part 2) 2-4-2016
HOUHAI LAKE
Houhai is the largest of the three lakes of Shichahai area of central Beijing, interconnected with each other through canals and bridges namely Xihai(West Lake), Houhai(Back Lake) and Qianhai(Front Lake). The total area of these lakes with recreation spaces and roads is 363 acres out of which water area is 84 acre and green area is 28 acre. In old times, these lakes used to be part of Grand Canal of China which is the longest canal in the world. Once celebrities, princes, renowned public figures, artists and intellectuals used to live around Houhai Lake. In the past many palaces and temples were constructed around the lake because of its scenic beauty and central location in the city, few of which still exist such as Dazang Longhua Temple, Guangfu Temple, Huitong Temple, Houshen Temple, Prince Gong’ Mansion, Prince Chun’s Palace, the house of Song Ching-ling (Mrs. Sun Yat-sen), the residence of Guo Moruo, etc. During the winter, the water of the lake is frozen and used for skating and ice-games. During spring and summer thousands of lush green willow trees around the lake present the mesmerizing effect on the visitors.
In Beijing it is the best area for entertainment, amusement and fun, particularly famous for night clubs, bars, pubs, dance theaters, restaurants, ice-cream parlors, food stalls and romantic activities and thus is alive till late night with thousands of foreign and local visitors hanging around the Silver Ingot Bridge (Yin Ding Qiao) which links Houhai and Qianhai Lakes. This bridge is the center part of enjoyment in Shichahai and is always overcrowded day and night. It is one of the greatest points of attraction for tourists in Beijing. A leisure stroll around Houhai Lake can take an hour or so. Lot of pleasure activities, board & card games, table tennis, cycling, romance, fishing, boating, bathing, etc. can be seen in and around the lake, particularly on weekends.

Beijing Shichahai Area & Lakes 2-4-2016
BEIJING
SHICHAHAI
We visited Beijing, capital of China for 7 days from 1st to 8th April, 2016. We selected Shichahai for our residence which is undoubtedly the best area of Beijing, oldest, central, historical, most scenic, cultural, best preserved and beautiful. The Municipal Government of Beijing declared this area as “Historical and Cultural Scenic District”. Building skyscrapers and high rise buildings is prohibited here. Therefore, only old style traditional streets and houses with courtyards can be seen here. It is rightly called backyard paradise by local Chinese.
It has three big lakes, interconnected with each other namely Xihai(pronounced as Shehai means West Lake), Houhai(Back Lake) and Qianhai(pronounced Chinhai means Front Lake). Houhai is the largest of the three. The total area of these lakes is 363 acres. In old times, these lakes used to be part of Grand Canal of China which is the longest canal in the world. In fact Shichahai means ‘ten temple lakes’ since before the communist revolution there used to be ten temples around the lake because of its scenic beauty and central location in the city, few of which still exist. The total area of these lakes with recreation area and roads is 363 acres out of which water area is 84 acre and green area is 28 acre. In old times, these lakes used to be part of Grand Canal of China which is the longest canal in the world. Once celebrities, princes, renowned public figures, artists and intellectuals used to live around Houhai Lake. Bell and Drum Towers, the ancient timepieces, are located here. In the past many palaces and temples were constructed around the lake because of its scenic beauty and central location in the city, few of which still exist such as Dazang Longhua Temple, Guangfu Temple, Huitong Temple, Houshen Temple, Prince Gong’ Mansion, Prince Chun’s Palace, the house of Song Ching-ling (Mrs. Sun Yat-sen), the residence of Guo Moruo, etc. During the winter, the water of the lake is frozen and used for skating. During spring and summer thousands of willow tree around the lake present the mesmerizing effect on the visitors. It is one of the greatest points of attraction for tourists in Beijing. A leisure stroll around Houhai Lake can take an hour or so. Lot of pleasure activities, board & card games, table tennis, cycling, romance, boating, fishing, bathing, etc can be seen in and around the lake, particularly on weekends.
The area around Qianhai Lake is particularly famous for night clubs, bars, pubs, dance theaters, restaurants, ice-cream parlors, food stalls, trap houses and romantic activities and thus is alive till late night with thousands of foreign and local visitors hanging around the Silver Ingot Bridge (Yin Ding Qiao) which links Houhai and Qianhai Lakes. This bridge is the center part of enjoyment in Shichahai and is always overcrowded day and night.
