Recommended Places for Boat Tours in Beijing

Shichahai /Houhai
Apart from the Hutong Tour, in Beijing, you can also enjoy boating on a long scull. Starting from the Lotus Market, passing through Yinding Bridge, the boat arrives at Houhai where local residences live. At night, you can also light up floating candles and put them into the water. In addition to these colourful lights, neon lights are highlighted on the shimmering lake making Shichahai even more beautiful.

Jiangnan Yuloh No. 1

If you have no time to visit Jiangnan (South China), you should still not miss spending some time on a yuloh, where you can get a taste of the Jiangnan flavour. A yuloh is a traditional wooden boat widely used in southern China. While enjoying soft music, you can also have a delicious dinner on the boat.
