Shichahai area-the end of the North-South Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty, Shichahai is located in the west of Beijing, also known as Shichahai, named after the original ten Buddhist temples around it.

Shichahai was a part of Haizi Garden in the Tang Dynasty and the end of the North-South Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the surface of the water was as wide as the sea, bringing together many grain ships and merchant ships traveling between the north and the south, showing the grand occasion of "covering the sky with thin clothes"

There are many restaurants, Songtai and tea shops along the Shichahai coast, as well as rice market, market, satin market, fur market, hat market, bull market, horse market and people's market specializing in selling and driving away slaves, all of which are prosperous.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the area here gradually narrowed, forming the West Sea, Houhai Sea, Qianhai Sea and Sanhai Waterway.

Since the Qing Dynasty, Shichahai has become a place for entertainment and summer vacation. Here the blue waves are rippling, there are graceful weeping willows on the shore and towering mountains in the distance. The scenery is beautiful. At that time, it was a famous tourist attraction and was known as the "Northern Water Town". At the same time, it is also a scenic spot that integrates ancient capital culture, folk customs, leisure and vacation, enjoys fashion and feels history.

Relying on this water area, the Yuan Dynasty determined the central axis of capital construction on the east coast, so Shichahai was also the core of urban planning and water system in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
