Shichahai Lake
From Openwaterpedia
Shichahai Lake (Chinese: 什刹海) is a historic scenic area consisting of three lakes in the north of central Beijing in China. They are located to the north-west of the Forbidden City and north-west of the Beihai Lake. Shichahai consists of the following three lakes: Qianhai (前海), Xihai (西海) and Houhai (后海). In the summer tourists can rent boats to paddle on the lakes. In the winter, an informal winter swimming pod does winter swimming on a daily basis.
