Top 10:

Beijing Boating

  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Enjoy the multitude of water activities in Beijing without being stuck on the shore. You can float atop the water and enjoy the view of the shore rather than being outside looking in. From beautiful scenic lakes, rivers and canals you can enjoy a great deal of Beijing floating atop H20.

    Take an 'Around Beijing by Boat' tour of Beijing the easy way, you can get a view of the city from multiple waterways. Operating between March and October you can explore the water, explore the city and enjoy a whole new perspective of the city.

    Hou Hai Lake is a beautiful scenic spot, a like surrounded in shops, bars, cafes and much more. But, more importantly the boat rides around the lake are magical, especially in the evening or early morning. Paddle boats are on offer on Hou Hai and you can jump aboard a wooden traditional boat and be whisked around the lake by a singing and swearing local boat captain.

    The Summer Palace has paddle boats on offer that are fun, and, more importantly you can get across the massive lake without walking the entire way around the beast! Even get a quick lift to the temple without having to walk around the fringe.

    There are several parks around the city that have boating, the foremost of which is Chao Yang Park. Paddle boats seem to be the favorite in Beijing and you'll find them in plenty in Chao Yang Park. Additionally, you'll find other modes of water transport, including fun water games for kids.
