Where is Shichahai in Beijing?

Shichahai in Beijing is in the northwest of Beijing inner city. According to Baidu map, Shichahai Scenic Area in Beijing is located in the northwest of Beijing inner city, starting from the east side of Di 'anmenwai Street in the east. Shichahai is a low-lying lake formed in the lower reaches of the ancient Gaoliang River. Gold is called Bailiantan, Yuan is called Jishuitan and Haizi, and Ming is called Shichahai. The Qianhai and Houhai of Shichahai, together with the West Sea, cover an area of about 340,000 square meters. Tonghui River was built in Guo Shoujing in Yuan Dynasty, which directly communicated with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Shichahai became the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the end of water transportation in Yuan Dynasty. From now on, the North Shore and the East Shore will be important and prosperous urban areas in the city. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, the sea has changed and experienced several ups and downs. After decades of construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shichahai and its surrounding areas have become historical and cultural tourist attractions with beautiful scenery, numerous historical sites, rich Beijing flavor and strong popularity.
