nice place to walk around and see some nice huntings. some nice places to eat
A bar snack in Beijing near the park, Houhai is not the sea, literary style
The park environment is very good, the surrounding buildings are also well preserved, the citizen life is integrated into it, very good
All the way from Tian'anmen Gate to the Forbidden City Museum, just a few bus stops, the lake in the park is frozen, many visitors skate on it, and there are many kinds of snacks, handicraft paper-cuts and souvenirs with Beijing characteristics in the smoke bag ramp street beside Houhai. The park is too big. It's too tired to walk for a day. When someone says he doesn't want to go, he will visit it. Take a picture and then leave. Next time, he must go deep.
