Moonlight Reflections by the River: A Summer Night in Beijing

📍Location: Beijing, China Summer nights in Beijing come alive in the most peaceful way along the city’s rivers. We strolled beside the Houhai Lake area just after sunset, where lanterns flickered over the water and reflections of willow trees danced in the breeze. Locals sang softly under the bridges, couples paddled in glowing boats, and the scent of grilled lamb skewers filled the air. It was the perfect way to wind down after a day of sightseeing—no crowds, no rush, just calm, cool air and lights painting the water. Bring a light jacket, grab a drink from a lakeside bar, and enjoy Beijing’s softer side after dark. #hongkonghotel
