Beijing Lake District Tour (Shichahai, Qianhai, Xihai & Houhai)
Houhai / 后海 (literally: Rear Lake) refers to a lake and its surrounding neighborhood in Xicheng District of central Beijing, China. 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.
The Former Residence of Soong Ching-ling and Prince Gong Mansion are both located in the Houhai neighborhood.

Beijing Zhengjue Hutong & Houhai Lakes 北京正觉胡同和后海湖

Hutongs are reflections of the old Beijing. Narrow alley ways pulse with the rhythm of everyday life. Old walled courtyards fronted by massive red doors are a pleasure to wander through and get lost in . They are all being destroyed by the Chinese government, as are many of Chinas ancient history, and will soon be a thing of the past. There was still a nice selection of them on the north side of Houhai Lakes. The lakes themselves are a peaceful retreat in the middle of this hectic city. Willow tree branches sway in the wind and kiss the water, seniors exercise on machines, practice Thai Chi and fish while Chinese tourists stroll around the lake holding hands and taking pictures.
That night the rains came. Rain brings a different energy to a city. A peacefulness, a calm. Life continues as usual as the street vendors huddle under umbrellas and makeshift tarps shielding their produce, meats, electronics, and gadgets from the rising puddles waiting for the next customer to come, and they do. It was business as usual. Travel allows you to step into people’s lives for just a moment. It is a very voyeuristic way to spend your time. Still this was not the China we came to observe. In fact, it is not China at all that we are here to see. Tomorrow we will board another plane for a four-hour flight west to the autonomous region of Xinjiang.
