The shores of the Hou Hai lake are filled with terraces. There is food and drinks widely availlable from the many bars and restaurants. In front of the entrance of the Lotus Lane, the street with the restaurants, we saw lots of people dancing in the square.

A busy nightlife spot in Beijing.
Lots of open air jazz music and restaurants around.
A boat house with boats you can rent to paddle.
Watch out for the traffic jam on water though.
