Upon our return from the Great Wall we embarked on a night tour of Beijing - highlighted by our visit to Houhai Lake.

Houhai is the largest of the three lakes that comprise Shichahai, the collective name for the three northern-most lakes in central Beijing. Since the early 2000s, the hutong neighborhood around Houhai has become known for its nightlife as many residences along the lake shore have been converted into restaurants, bars, and cafes. We enjoyed the beautiful night scenery as we strolled along the lakeshore.

We were on a quest to find authentic stinky tofu. Eventually we found it but were a tad disappointed. . . not quite as good as Sue-On, Kenny and Rebecca remembered it from their youth.
