Which places in Beijing are suitable for a first blind date? The requirement is an outdoor location.

Brother, don’t listen to the nonsense on the first floor. There is no seaside or sea view in Beijing. It is a more suitable place for dating. When the weather is good, Beihai Park is very nice. Boating on Beihai is very interesting. Once you have enough fun, Ping'an Street comes out from the north gate, and Houhai is across the street. There are many bars in Houhai's Lotus Market, which is very lively. Yes, you can go around. If you are interested, exit from the north gate of Lotus Market, turn left, then turn right to the north edge of Qianhai (the street name may be wrong), walk to Prince Kung's Mansion, and see Prince Kung's Mansion Garden. If you like to eat, you can walk along the south bank of Houhai, cross Yinding Bridge, to the other side, and then walk west. There is Alumni Alley near Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence, which has the famous “Jiumen Snacks”. After you get out, you can also visit Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence ( Prince Gong’s Mansion (it’s a prince’s palace anyway) is also very beautiful.

For the southern route, exit from Beihai South Gate to Wenjin Street. There is Beihai Bridge on the right hand side. It is very beautiful and you can overlook Zhongnanhai and the National Center for the Performing Arts. Walking to the left, you will see the north wall of the Forbidden City and the Tongzi River. Looking at the turrets from the corner of the Tongzi River, I think it is the most beautiful view of the Forbidden City. Continuing to the east, you can walk along the bank of Tongzi River. The scenery is very beautiful. Continue walking until you reach another corner of the Tongzi River, where you will find the famous Red Building on the Beach (where the May 4th Movement broke out). Going further east, or taking a few trolleybus stops, you can reach the Art Museum, one of the top ten buildings. If your date likes art, you can take her to visit. If you like reading, you can go to the Sanlian Bookstore across the East Street from the Art Museum to read. If you like shopping, you can walk south from there or take a few tram stops to Wangfujing. If you turn right at the T-junction and go south along Beichizi Street, you can walk to the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, a spectacular side entrance. Walk east along Donghuamen Street to reach Wangfujing Snack Street, and you can also reach the Wangfu Palace. Well, if you continue to go south, you will see an arch when you are approaching Chang'an Street. Don't go out, just go left or right. It is called Changpu Park. It is a quiet and beautiful small park. It is more interesting than Tiananmen Square outside. Much more. Ah, actually this is considered the Eastern Front.

To really go south, that is, go out from the South Gate of Beihai and walk south along Beichang Street. When you approach Chang'an Street, you will see an arch. When you go out, you will find Chang'an Street. Go left and you can reach Tiananmen. If you like Chang'an Street and Tiananmen Square, this is a good choice. If you don’t like Tiananmen, then walk west, or take the two-stop bus (1, 52, 22, 37, etc.) to Xidan. Xidan is the favorite shopping place for Beijingers, but it does feel like there are more things than Wangfujing. There are two alleys to the south of the Xidan intersection, and there is Xinhua Street. There is a Dumpling Garden there, which is famous for its dumplings. You can go there to have dinner. If you like to watch movies, you can go to Capital Times Cinema, 10th floor of Joy City. If you are in Wangfujing, you can go to Dong'an Cinema and the 6th floor of New Dong'an Market.

. . . . The above are all based on memory. I am abroad and have been away from my hometown Beijing for a long time. The place names and street names may be wrong. Please forgive me. Remember not to take a tricycle, don’t trust tour guides, don’t buy peddling items, and don’t listen to blind directions from people with foreign accents. Ask her to wear a pair of comfortable flats and you'll have a great day.

Wish you success
