The bars in Houhai are more expensive, GAY BAR ah and so on is considered a special feature.... Pole dancing is everywhere, not really a specialty... 3 Smoke bag diagonal street is good, are some characteristics of the small store. Houhai is the Shichahai which refers to the three water areas of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai. In order to distinguish with the North Sea, the Middle Sea, the South China Sea before the three seas, was called after the three seas. The Houhai extends from Di'anmenwai Street in the east to Xinjiekou Street in the west, Ping'an Street in the south, and the North Second Ring Road in the north, with a total area of 146.7 hectares, of which 34 hectares are water areas and 11.5 hectares are green areas. It is an ancient water area in the city of Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty 700 years ago. Houhai, a part of Shichahai for thousands of years, is a leisurely place with water and mountains, willows brushing the shore, houses and residents on the shore, royal palaces and former residences of celebrities in the surrounding area, and even more, it is paved with the infinite flavor of Beijing and history. People come here only to, here can still hear the crisp autumn insects, can still see the old Beijing courtyard house complex of the epitome, can still chew that seems to have long gone the royal heritage. Houhai is actually a huge artificial lake, which is a clear pool for the exclusive use of the royal family in the old days. Houhai is located in the center of Beijing, only four or five stops from Tiananmen Square, and the famous Beihai connected to the water, and Jingshan, the Forbidden City, far away from each other. Walking along the coast, you will see the blue tiles and red walls without noticing. Outside those tall and solemn gates, you can only see the tall and lush trees in the courtyard. It is leisurely and mysterious. It is said that the waters of the Back Sea are connected to the dragon vein of the Forbidden City, which has been a feng shui treasure since ancient times. Therefore, successive generations of monks here to build temples and temples, while the princes and ministers in the shore of the site to build houses and gardens, celebrities have also moved to the lake, began the original waterfront life on the back of the sea. Therefore, as the saying goes, "Shichahai came first, then Beijing City". Scattered Notes on Houhai By: Huang Li Houhai is actually only a part of Shichahai, but we are used to use Houhai to refer to Shichahai. What we usually call "going to Houhai" is probably just going to Qianhai, going to the Lotus Market, going to the Lake Island to drink some expensive tea; it is also very likely to go to the West Sea, climbing the Huitong Ancestral Temple, or paying twenty or thirty dollars to "steal half a day's leisure" to play a game in the center of the ancient capital. The ancient capital of the center to play a fishing, but I have never fished there, I decided this summer must go fishing once; may really go to the back of the sea, the back of the sea in Shichahai three relatively independent of the small lake is considered a larger one, in my opinion, not like the environmentalists say is the lungs of the city, but rather like a slightly long and narrow stomach. In the concept of old Beijing, I like the back of the sea the most, even if the moment of the crowd, hidden in the high-rise buildings among the back of the sea is also considered quiet. Get off the bus at Gulou and walk through Yanbaoxiejie to Yinzhuo Bridge. When you are on the bridge, the left hand is Qianhai and the right hand is Houhai. I usually start along the left bank of Houhai, passing by the lined bars, which are obviously more depressed in winter than in summer, though in recent years they are also much more lively than in previous winters. Passing the boat pier, I often rowed there, sometimes a few people, sometimes two people, sometimes one person also rowing, like that moment of relaxation. Passed by Mallard Island, there are more and more ducks, there are also some lend a hand to the beautiful waterfowl, but I have always been skeptical of the solidity of Mallard Island, Mallard Island one year really sunk to the bottom of the water, Mallard Island is also surrounded by a circle of wooden fences in order to prevent the boat hurt the Mallard Island, and no one will hurt the Mallard, in fact, so much of the building are used in the marble, the Mallard Island is perfectly capable of using rough marble to build, and then built on top of it, a Low low staggered pavilion dedicated to wild ducks live, so their lives will be much more comfortable, and will never happen again wild duck island sinking heartbreaking things. After the Kong Yi Ji Hotel, then there is another bridge, that bridge under the water from the West China Sea. After passing the Shichahai snack street, the former residence of Soong Ching Ling, a fitness center and a courtyard with an unknown low tower, I returned to the Yinzhuo Bridge. If the mood is high, I will continue to go forward, around the West China Sea also turned around, West China Sea in recent years more materialistic urban fickleness, I don't like it too much. If there is no interest, and then through the smoke bag diagonal street, take the car home, if the smoke bag diagonal street of delicate again, it will be strolling around the left side of the Drum Tower Bell Tower of the small hutongs. It is said that each hutong has lived in a prominent moment of dignitaries, test up for fear that it will become a thick thesaurus. Like winter after the sea, when the trees are sparse when the back of the sea tourists are very few, alone in the lake walk, don't have a kind of ancient sadness; like spring after the sea, slowly, the willows have become green, "willow color is far away to see the near but no", the ice melts, "the spring river water is warm ducks first", through the After the sea can live to see the footsteps of spring; like the summer after the sea, tourists, and after the sea of the lotus is not much, three or two branches stand in the water's edge appears to be cold, like the summer night after the sea, night after night, song and song, the two sides of the bar singing and melancholy blues, the lake paddles and lanterns, a trance of Jiangnan's inseparable; the least like the fall after the sea, after the fading of the prosperity, the falling leaves Xiaoxiao, the cruise ship listlessly crooked in the shore, the tourists! To this point, all feel sad, sadness from the bottom of the heart, at this time to the back of the sea, suitable for carrying a pot of wine, the back of the sea will play for you a song of human and God **** weeping Guangling San. But this time to the back of the sea, far away from a piece of guzheng playing the "Smiling Proud Wanderer", intermittent, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, that free tune for me to hover for a long time, can not bear to leave. Going to Houhai, I like to share with people, I am an extremely enthusiastic person, like to tell the beautiful things, I'm about to become the most competent Houhai tour guide. I prefer to walk with my beloved ones in Houhai, but maybe I am too obsessed with Houhai, few people like to accompany me to Houhai anymore, and they may not quite understand my emotions towards Houhai. Yes, Houhai is not my hometown and has nothing to do with me, why am I so obsessed with Houhai? Perhaps a rhyming poem on the rocks by the coast of Houhai tells the reason: half a pool of duck green water, a few gusts of willow wind. When I walk slowly and search for the fragrant path, I suspect that it is connected to the Peach Garden. The warbler is still crying, but I am in the picture. In the original poem, "Peach Garden" is "Peach Orchard", which must be a clerical error. I only like Houhai because it confirms the idyllic sentiment of the literati, doesn't it? Confined to the trivialities of the world, this isolated corner of the "urban peach", can not give me the soul of this traveler a hint of comfort, so that my restless mind to get a moment of peace? [Edit Paragraph] Houhai Bar: and other bars similar tone, simple antique furniture, green plants, personalized ornaments, lazy feeling. The bars around Houhai are not big, perhaps the space can avoid excessive noise, which is why I like to come to Houhai bar. The moon is high in the sky, the light is ambiguous, a quiet erhu or pipa sound from the lake boat drifting over, to the quiet of the back of the sea added a petty mood. Whispering lovers, drinking and singing. The melodious sound of the piano reminds people of their hometown's creeks and childhood friends, and the scene of catching crickets on summer nights. Houhai is a place for nostalgia, and every time you come to Houhai, you will feel nostalgic. Taking a girlfriend to Houhai to feel the romance of Beijing is the most worthwhile thing to consider in this season. The park at Houhai is the Beihai Park, where the Let's Swing the Oars is swung up. It's not a bad place to go for a break. The bar... The bars in Houhai are relatively expensive, GAY BAR ah and so on are considered special... Pole Dance: Yanbao Xiejie is a good place to go, it's full of small specialty stores. Shichahai's Bar Street, Gongwangfu, Hutongs on three wheels, crazy wings, underground bands, Nanluoguxiang and Nine Gates, where every store is very unique! Very awesome!
