Houhai

Houhai

Houhai (Chinese: 后海/後海) is a lake in central Beijing. In recent years it has become famous for nightlife because it is home to several popular restaurants, bars, and cafes.

Until recently Houhai only consisted of a few restaurants. Houhai first became popular with modern establishments on the newly constructed Lotus Lane in 2003.

The area is especially popular with foreign tourists visiting Beijing, but is also often visited by the expatriate community and younger locals.
