Beijing boat cruising on the Shichahai Lake
The local boat company uses the boats which are 7 meters in length and 1.7 meters in width. It is made in line with the old Chinese Traditional painting dating to the Song Dynasty 800 years ago. All the boats are paddled by the boatmen who wear in yellow vests and bamboo hats. All the boats are equipped with all the red lanterns. You can enjoy some tea and local snacks on the boat. And at the same time, you also have the chance to get a close view of the local people's daily life on the banks while enjoying the sweet tune from the Chinese stringed and woodwind instruments played by the ladies on the bow of boats. The boats will pass under the Yingding Bridge( It is very famous in the local Beijing history). Then the boat enters a bigger lake. The most highlight tour is when the peple at the bank will light up the candle in the little paper boats and put them into the water. The little boats flicker at each other. You just imagine the atmosphere in which the music is in the air, you feel you are back to old days of the Tang or Song Dynasty.
