Coming out of the Yuetan Park, cycling about five kilometers towards the Fuchengmen Bridge, Xizhimen Bridge and Deshengmen West Street, you can reach the vicinity of Jishuitan, where the Shichahai Area is located. There are Xihai, Houhai, Qianhai and Xiaodaobibo (Island with Blue Waves), as well as former residences of celebrities. It is a good place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Shichahai Area is located in Xicheng District, adjacent to Beijing's Central Axis. With a water area of 336,000 square meters, it is not only an open scenic spot with open surface water in the inner city of Beijing, but also the largest and most well-preserved historical block in Beijing. Since the Qing Dynasty, Shichahai has become a place for amusement and cool off in summer, and is one of the scenic spots in Yanjing (as Beijing was then known). The scenic spot, with beautiful landscape, is known as the "Water Town of North China". With perfect tourism forms, ancient cultural shops, snack streets and bars, it is one of the busiest cultural streets in Beijing.
