As a "living museum" within Beijing, Shichahai is not only a microcosm of the old Beijing hutong culture, but also a treasure destination for parent-child interaction. Taking children here to feed koi, make sugar figurines, and listen to storytelling not only allows them to experience the charm of traditional skills, but also to explore the fireworks of the Hutongs. This article will share a parent-child route full of childlike fun and cultural flavor.
1、 Feeding Koi: The 'Good Luck Ceremony' under the Silver Ingot Bridge
Experience location: East side of Silver Ingot Bridge in Qianhai, Shichahai
In the early morning, the mist in Shichahai did not dissipate. I fed the koi with small fish food worth 10 yuan per pack and watched the golden, red, and white schools of fish leap out of the water.
