No ice rink? No problem! Check out the lantern festival at Houhai for some great photos.

😀 Lantern festival in Beijing is a must-do. If you're planning to go on a food tour or explore the authentic old Beijing style, we recommend checking out the lanterns at Houhai and Shichahai. The night view is very colorful and the photos are amazing. 🏡 Exploring and eating at Shichahai is a traditional tourist activity. No matter what season it is, there's always a sense of ritual. This year, Shichahai is still in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The night view is even more colorful than usual. It's a great place to take a stroll. As the temperature rises, it's easier to enjoy the night view. 🌟 The night view of Shichahai is still beautiful even without the ice rink. The countless lanterns along the banks of the lake light up the night. The view at night is very beautiful in the style of traditional Chinese architecture. In addition, the market near Qianhai, which was set up during the Spring Festival, has not yet been dismantled. The popularity is still very high. It seems that there are fewer places to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival this year. This might be a good choice. 📅 When is the best time to go? The night view will probably last until the end of this month. ⏰ What time is more suitable to go? We recommend coming after 5:00 PM. Sunset or blue hour is the best time to take photos. The specific lighting time is basically consistent with the municipal time, around 5:30 PM. 🌈 How long is the estimated visit? If you're just taking photos and walking around, it's estimated to be around 1 hour. 👣 What are the reference routes and check-in points? No matter which direction you're coming from, we recommend walking around Qianhai. Lotus Market - Shichahai - Yinding Bridge - Yandai Slope - Fire God Temple - Jinding Bridge 🌈 What's the scenery like around here? Specific lamp positions, snowflake lanterns on the island in the lake, "Starry Sea" canopy lanterns in the Lotus Market corridor, ancient-style imitation ancient buildings and red lanterns, West City Impression characteristic landscape lanterns, and lakeside buildings are all open at night. 📷 How to take beautiful photos? It's not very suitable for taking portraits, but the view is excellent, especially for taking photos of the Jingshan Park and the Drum Tower. 👍 How to buy tickets? Free 🚗 How to get there? We recommend taking the subway and getting off at Beihai North Station. Walk there. 🔥 Tips before check-in: 1. Dress warmly as the night view is still below zero. 2.
