The best way for me to describe what Lotus lane is like, is
similar to Darling Harbour in Sydney. It is an ‘area’ more than a lane that
sits around Qianhai Lake.
At night it is buzzing, an electric light show of lasers and
nightclub strobes – street food and countless restaurants, during the day it is
the complete opposite, and it made me question if I was in the same place when
I saw it in daylight.
We had some cocktails the night before – they were OK –
potent. One cocktail was like drinking two, alcohol wise. We didn’t eat here as
there are many more interesting and cheaper places to eat in Beijing. But the
buzz of the atmosphere and people watching is a great way to start a night.
It is OVER PRICED. We stopped at a tea house during the day
for some green tea – 500RMB for a pot! (about $78AUD) ARE YOU SERIOUS?
