On September 22, 2010, we enjoyed the moon and had dinner in Houhai, Beijing. It was beyond words to express happiness!

Beijing's Houhai is accurately called "Shichahai". It is a place where dignitaries lived in history. For example, Heshen in the Qing Dynasty and Song Qingling's deep residence in modern times are located here. With the development of history, this former deep house has changed from its former secluded to a prosperous place. It is a place that not only retains the strong characteristics of old Beijing but also has a strong atmosphere of modern life. There are hundreds of bars and dining bars around the sea. As soon as the lanterns come on, there is an endless stream of guests who come to have dinner, drink and enjoy the scenery, which is quite a sigh of the prosperous Tang Dynasty! Foreigners and fashion people love this place and tend to be on par with the "Sanlitun", which used to be the crown of the capital. Therefore, this place has also been rated as one of the top ten beautiful scenery in my country.
My husband and I didn't go back to our hometown to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so we gathered several friends to celebrate the festival and admire the moon. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly comfortable. We chose outdoor seats near the water. Even with the minimum consumption, we still chose it because we could enjoy dinner, chat, and taste mooncakes to our heart's content. The main thing was to be close to nature, admire lotus flowers, watch the moon and watch the lanterns, and appreciate the sparkling moon. The music from the bar floated in our ears from time to time, and we were happily intoxicated under the moonlight, enjoying the beautiful scenery given to us by God.
