Shichahai Scenic Resort - 2nd Stop: Houhai-Hutong Area – The Gentle Night of Old Beijing
Arrive at Houhai: The lake sheds its daytime bustle and embraces tranquility at night. Warm lights glow from shops by the lake, and soft music occasionally drifts from bars—strolling along the lakeside is extremely relaxing.
Then step into Old Beijing Hutongs: These lanes, with a history of hundreds of years, are the “living history” of Beijing. Gray bricks and tiles outline a simple and elegant silhouette under the lights, and red lanterns can occasionally be seen at the gates of Siheyuan (courtyard houses). Your guide will share old stories about the Hutongs, and you can also browse specialty shops here. If you want to buy souvenirs, the guide will teach you practical bargaining tips.
- National Center for the Performing Arts - 3rd Stop: Olympic Village Area – The Futuristic Glow of Night
This is a highlight for photography enthusiasts! As night falls, Beijing National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) lights up with its unique lattice structure—like a giant glowing bird’s nest, symbolizing warmth and vitality. Next to it, the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) shines with blue light, mimicking the ripples of water. The contrast between the two venues’ light designs creates a stunning modern scene—you simply can’t miss the chance to take photos here; every shot captures the grandeur of the Olympic legacy.
- CCTV New Mansion - 4th Stop: CBD Area – Beijing’s “Manhattan” at Night
Drive past the CCTV Headquarters, known as one of China’s most remarkable architectural works. Locals affectionately call it “Big Pants” for its unique shape, and its twisted steel structure glows under night lights—showcasing the boldness of modern architecture.
