Lots of bars are clustered in the Shichahai area or along the Shichahai Lakeshore.

Then take a boat cruising on the Shichahai Lake for 40 minutes. 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. 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.
