• Food in Beijing
• Bars and Nightlife in Beijing



Sanlitun's "bar street," located in the embassy district, is a favorite for westerners due to its heavily American and European influenced bars. Another party point, The Houhai area is a tamer and more romantic alternative that trades in some of the chaos and excitement for a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Houhai's lakeside bars and outdoor tables create a more subdued drinking experience.
