A good place to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing: When I was a child, I looked forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival because of the legend of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit. Now, I'm looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying the most charming moonlight. Where is the best place to enjoy the moon in Beijing? The editor recommends the following places to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

1. Shichahai: boating to admire the moon, watching wine and appreciating the moon.

Shichahai is the only scenic spot open in Beijing with night service. All the paddle boats are modeled after the cruise boats in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Amid the simple and melodious sound of trumpets, the vast Shichahai Sea is known as one of the best places to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can enjoy the moon in the sea. You can call it nostalgia and sentiment. You can definitely find your favorite way to spend it. The simplest and most romantic thing is to walk along the stone fence of Houhai. As long as you are strong enough, it takes an hour to walk around Houhai, which is especially suitable for young men and women in love. For those who like to enjoy themselves, there are more options such as bars, restaurants and livelier clubs. However, these places are bound to get crowded during the festival, so it’s best to book in advance if you have a particular preference, especially for outdoor seating near the water. What's more, you can book boat meals at some restaurants, enjoy delicious food while boating, and even place a red river lantern for blessing. But since it is a holiday, don’t complain about the crowds and businesses taking advantage of the opportunity to increase prices, and don’t ruin the good mood of admiring the moon.
