Nice places in Beijing

Hello!
When I was in Beijing, I used to hang out with my friends at the big lake called Houhai.
It is a nice place to relax at day time, and in the evening, you can enjoy the Chinese cuisene at the restaurants and have a drink or two at bars around the lake.
In summer time, it is such a nice place to catch a breeze with a cocktail, and in winter time, you can ice-skate in such a huge space.
It is such a pity that I don't have any picture, but if you go on the internet you can see a tons of picture.

If you are interestedn in exploring in Beijing, feel free to ask me:-)
