What are the interesting attractions in Shichahai?

Shichahai, also known as Shichahai, Shihanhai or Shibanhai, consists of the West Sea, Houhai and Qianhai, and is a long and narrow water surface inclined from northwest to southeast. Located opposite the back door of Beihai Park in Di 'anmen West Street.

As the saying goes, "Shichahai comes first, then Beijing", also known as "Houhai", has always been a good place for old Beijingers to visit. Because of its beautiful environment and full of folk customs, it has attracted many bureaucrats, famous artists and even foreigners to build houses or temples here for more than 200 years, adding a profound cultural heritage to Shichahai.

Now the city flavor of Beijing is getting stronger and stronger, and there are fewer and fewer places to see the old folk customs of old Beijing. But here in Shichahai, you can still hear the crisp insects in autumn, you can still see the miniature of the old Beijing quadrangle building, and you can still chew the upcoming Beijing-style cultural tourism festival here. "Visit Shichahai and see old Beijing", enjoy tea, go boating, visit Wang Fu and visit Hutong. A pure Beijing accent will shine in Shichahai in autumn.

Qin Chunwang Mi Qinchun Wang Fu is located on the north bank of Houhai. The mansion is divided into four parts: the main courtyard, the hospital, the garden and the stable. In addition, behind the mansion, there is a ancestral hall of Chun Xianqin, covering an area of about 80 mu.

Especially the West Garden in the mansion has a long history. The former residence of Soong Ching Ling, the mother of the nation, was built in Mi Xi Garden, the king of Qin Chun. She worked and lived here for 18 years, leaving many traces and adding a lot of bright colors to this antique garden.

During the Kangxi period, Pearl House Garden was located here. There are rockeries, bamboo forests and bridges in the garden. There are seven trees in front of the South Building, all of which are "blooming at night". Two of them are ancient trees more than 200 years ago, which are said to have been planted by Nalan Xingde, the eldest son of Pearl. Young Nalan Xingde often invites scholars and celebrities from Beijing to gather here to sing poems and write lyrics. Now, standing under a tree, he has a feeling of nostalgia, as if there is a figure vaguely in front of him, and his ear seems to echo the song "Before Shuang Ye meets the steps, the branches and leaves are full of splendor". Later, Pearl was found guilty, and this mansion garden was occupied by He Kun. After Jiaqing ascended the throne, the park was given to the prince together with the nearby mansion. After the prince became a prince, seawater was chartered to enter the park. The "Bourne Pavilion" we see now was built when we became princes, and the word "Peace through the Year" on the Peace Stone was written by a prince. During the Guangxu period, this mansion was given to Prince Chun, Guangxu's biological father, who built, renovated and built the Prince Chun Palace on the basis of his marriage.

Today, Mi, the king of Qin Chun, has become a scenic spot by the Shichahai Sea. Many tourists come here because of their attachment to history and admiration for historical sites.

The most conspicuous in the hospital are ginkgo and peony planted by Guo Moruo and his wife. All the plants and trees that used to get along with their masters day and night are immersed in their sincere and broad emotional world. People hung down the flower gate and entered the quadrangle, and the east and west hatchbacks were turned into showrooms, showing the extraordinary lives of poets, literati and soldiers with pictures and objects. The living room, office and bedroom of the principal room are still the furnishings of the master when he was alive. Warm lang surrounds the small rose garden and leads to the northernmost room. In the middle is the place where Guo Moruo and his wife grind calligraphy. The great man is gone, but his hometown remains the same. Manuscript scrolls and calligraphy masterpieces retained his charm.

Guanghua temple

Shichahai, dressed in miscellaneous clothes and horses, has always been the first choice for Buddhist monks rooted in the imperial city to spread Buddhism and become attached to it. Because there are many temples in Brahma, it is named Shichahai. One of the temples, Guanghua Temple, is an ancient Buddhist temple that has experienced 700 years of vicissitudes. It is located in 3 1 Yaer Hutong on the north shore of Houhai, west of the Drum Tower.

Ancient temples, Zen Buddhism, shrine worship, recalling sages

Huitong temple

Huitong Temple, now the Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall, is located on the Huitong River at the northern edge of the West Sea (Jishuitan) in Shichahai, Xicheng District. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was the northernmost pier of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with vast water surface and beautiful scenery, and its unique geographical location made it accessible to water vessels.

Visit hutongs and appreciate the charm of Beijing.

Hutongs and quadrangles are symbols of old Beijing. Whether you are a native of Beijing or a tourist from afar, you will be attracted by the strong Beijing rhyme.

Starting from Guo Moruo's former residence in Haixi Street, climb the Drum Tower along Yinding Bridge in the north of Qianhai. Then take a bus through Yaer Hutong to Yinyuanbao Bridge Pier. Along the way, there were old people carrying birdcages, little girls bouncing around with rubber bands, and young men squatting at the gate of the courtyard with bowls tied to the river to eat and chat. This kind of comfortable life makes people linger.

To visit hutong, you should go to Hypericum, which refers to the area within the northern edge of Qianhai, Houhaiqian, Liu Yin Street and Qianhai West Street, with Yinding Bridge as the boundary. There are 18 hutongs winding. The winding Yu He River is full of social changes along the way. Small bridges and flowing water with their own characteristics give you poetic reverie; The old temple makes you realize the meaning of life and the awe of the ignorant world; Wang Fu Garden records the pride of self-reliance and helplessness; Deep hutongs have nurtured the vitality of social development.

Climb the tower and listen to the bell of history.

Built in 1272, Beijing Bell and Drum Tower has stood on the central axis of Beijing for more than 700 years. Two floors, one high and one short, one horizontal and one vertical, set each other off and become interesting, flying over the eaves and climbing the wall, flapping their wings to compete with the immortals. The Bell and Drum Tower used to be the time center in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which played the role of "governing the country by time and communicating politics". What is shocking is that it seems to hear the heavy bell lingering over the capital!

When it comes to Shichahai, we can't help but mention Deshengmen Tower. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, every time soldiers sent troops to fight, they started from Deshengmen and then went to the front to borrow the slogan "Desheng". Now, standing at the door of Deshengmen, a vibrant science and technology park is in sight, and the pace of social progress is unstoppable. Looking north from the gate, you can also see the scenery of weeping willows and pavilions. The natural scenery here and the mutual reflection of the science park are really a little different!

Go boating and enjoy a comfortable life.

As night falls, there are still many cruise ships in Shichahai, with a little fire and the sound of the piano, as if they were on the Qinhuai River. The paddle boat in Shichahai is antique, modeled after the boat shape in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Tourists board the boat at the Lotus Market Pier opposite the North Gate of Beihai Park. The boatman in hat and yellow jacket rocked the boat, lit the ancient lanterns on the boat, and the young lady with silk and bamboo instruments at the bow played soft and beautiful folk music. Boating across the famous landscape "Yinding Bridge" in ancient Beijing, tourists enjoy tea and snacks while watching the rich cultural landscape and folk life scenes on both sides of the strait. The most wonderful thing is that the sun sets and the sun rises, and the ship sails behind Shichahai. Tourists light candles and paper lanterns and then put them into the water. Lanterns float along the stern, flickering. In the sound of bamboo, the tourists on the shore stopped to watch, and the tourists on board enjoyed themselves, as if they had returned to the moonlit West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang and Song Dynasties. ...

Beautiful scenery needs to be accompanied by beauty to make life comfortable. At the right moment, during the barbecue season, Zhuyuan Hotel, Li Jia Cuisine and other famous foods are next to Shichahai.
