You might have heard that Shichahai is one of the best places to visit as night falls, but have you ever been there before?

After wasting one hour or so in the taxi because of traffic jams, I finally arrived at the entrance to Shichahai, from where I could directly see the Drum Tower. My friend and I had an appointment to meet on the popular Silver Ingot Bridge, and so I had to take a walk for a few minutes to that place. Before I was ready to have a pleasant chat with my friend, I had already been impressed by the first impression of Shichahai: quiet boats, green trees and a cloudy but golden sky.

Although the bridge is called Silver Ingot Bridge, you will never find anything here like silver, for the bridge is made of stone and white marble. It is not that wide or long but very narrow and short. That’s why we even didn’t find one another in the crowd on this small bridge.

The most famous sea among the three seas is the Back Sea or Houhai. On our trip around the lake, we saw people doing evening exercise, singing and dancing just beside the lake, jumping into the water to swim and chatting. We had a great time during this trip.
