The upcoming Shichahai will dazzle the entire summer!!

In a week or two, Beijing will welcome the blooming of lotus flowers Among the many places to enjoy the lotus, I still prefer Shichahai Though not very large, it is poetic enough Like a pearl set in the midst of Beijing's hutongs Perhaps it's because the area of Shichahai itself is very profound The everyday life of the hutongs, the historical memories of the Bell and Drum Towers All converge in this place The lotus flowers here have a grounded charm Walking on the boardwalk in front of the lotus market in Qianhai The moist air over the lake is mixed with the fragrance of lotus Willows on the shore sway gently, small boats ripple on the water Rowing boats shuttle through the summer lotus, swaying with the green waves Sitting in the pavilion, leisurely admiring the graceful lotus In the afternoon, with the breeze and the scent of lotus The scorching days of summer seem not so unbearable 🪷Lotus Viewing Period: Expected to start in early July, photo taken on July 8 last year Location: Shichahai - Lotus Market Viewing Area Lotus Viewing Route: Beihai North Subway Station → Lotus Market → Qianhai North Shore → Qianhai East Shore → Shichahai Subway Station ️Transportation: Subway Line 8 Shichahai Station or Line 6 Beihai North Station →Shichahai Boat Tour: Hao Meng Jiangnan Dock, Lotus Market Dock, Di Bai Dock, Former Residence Dock, Wild Duck Island Dock ticket sales, 9:00-18:00, ticket sales stop at 17:00, night cruise time is 18:00-24:00 Boat Types (per hour per boat) √ Four-person electric boat: 240 √ Four-person pedal boat: 180 √ Six-person electric boat: 280 √ Rowing boat: 80, about 30 minutes Small Tips: 1.
