A suggested way to spend the evening at Hou Hai: Arrive a little early and hit the "Kao Rou Ji" restaurant. You can't miss it, it's right next to Yinding Bridge, a huge building that serves unbelievably good lamb. Order the special lamb dish (that everyone else orders), a plate of sheep stomach (amazingly good), and whatever else that looks... more

A visit to this area is very nice and pleasant. We enjoyed a very nice stroll along the water and then decided to rent a pedal boat for an hour. It was very pleasant and was reasonable too. Even if you see a few souls in the water, I think I'd stay in the boat and not take any chances... more

Hou Hai is the new hot spot in Beijing's night life scene. Many bars/restaurants are located here with a very Chinese atmosphere. The buildings are of the old Beijing style, giving you a sense of history and culture of the Middle Kingdom (i.e. the direct translation of China). Many of the bars/restaurants have live performance. Compared to the night life... more

The Back Lakes are easily the most photogenic part of Beijing, save the old Forbidden City. While the modern city of Wangfujing Street is unspectacular and the even-more-modern city of the new CBD bears little resemblance to the China you imagine, the Back Lakes offer great restaurants, a lively bar scene and interesting scenery. Go for dinner, stay for a... more

北京这么大的旅游城市，好多是很游客化（touristy）的地方，故宫颐和园看看也就够了，一次性观赏。但是像后海这样，可以反复游玩吃喝的地方才是弥足珍贵。傍晚7点钟和Rick还有Judith两位美国朋友打车在荷花巷旁边。在那里能看到跳舞踢毽子的北京大妈和年轻人。老外对这特好奇。偶尔有几个抓住你拉你去酒吧并声称有美女作陪的“销售”比... more

与后海邂逅。。。中西结合，但以中餐为主，每天最享受的便是吃早餐的时间了。但如果在酒店餐厅吃午餐或晚餐，价格可能会有点贵。因此可以选择在外面的一些当地特色饭店。 more

后海一圈有很多的酒吧，但这些只是那些没有去过北京的人好奇的感受的，在北京他们叫杀鬼子的，东西奇贵。 玩的倒不少，后海上划船，那简直始终意境，冬天溜冰也是非常的多，很好玩的。 周边有些很有名的小吃，烤肉季，只是价格也不菲，烤肉不是普通的，而是一大盘，至少要100多一份，九门小吃就好很多了，只是人总也爆满...但是值得去了，其他... more

虽然生活在北京,却是第一次来后海.冰车,糖葫芦,糖人,唤起很多儿时的记忆,很好... more

什刹海作为老北京人的最喜好游玩地之一，逐渐更多的被外地和外国朋友所占据，有老味的馆子和无数风格各异的酒吧，就连《非诚勿扰》也在此选景，就更不用提那后海湖畔的悠悠美景和那些王公贵胄的尊贵华府了。 美啊！ more
