Is Shichahai really worth visiting?

✨Efficient and not tiring tour of Shichahai (it's best to come around just before noon) Start from the small alley next to the south gate of the Lotus Flower Market, where you can first encounter 'Sanhe Daoxiang Village'. There are several Daoxiang Village shops here, and you can choose to buy specialties as needed Following the path, you can see 'Nanmen Shuanrou'! Remember to get a number first because you can only get a number offline and the waiting time starts from at least an hour and a half After getting the number, continue along the path, cross the small bridge to the opposite bank to find 'Sugar House Coffee'. Here you can enjoy the air conditioning, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the moment of tranquility. After a short rest, you can go and eat authentic old Beijing instant-boiled mutton. Additionally, the Lotus Flower Market has many interesting cultural and creative shops and photo shoot spots. After eating, it's also great to stroll around the lively market. Wait until the evening sunset to return to Shichahai, find the Yinding Bridge to watch the sunset, and wait for the sea of orange, it's really beautiful! 🎙Introduction: Shichahai is a historical and cultural tourism scenic area and a historical and cultural preservation area in Beijing. Located in the central urban area of Xicheng District, it is the largest and most intact historical district in Beijing. Shichahai includes three bodies of water: Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and the adjacent areas, echoing the 'Front Sanhai', commonly known as 'Back Sanhai'. Shichahai is also written as 'Shicha Sea'. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has become a place for leisure and summer retreat, and is one of the famous scenic spots in Yanjing 💕Tips: If you want to take a boat tour, there are several ports, but you generally have to queue for a long time, and it's super hot to tour the lake in hot weather, so be prepared for sun protection to prevent heatstroke Many bars in Houhai are traps, don't get tricked To get a good seat at Sugar House Coffee, you need to go early and wait Nanmen Shuanrou serves too much food, so order less
