About Xinglong Lake

Its best-known small architectural stop is the lakeside bookshop, whose glass wall extends below the waterline. The shop reopened under the name Fuxiang in August 2026, so older references to the CITIC branch may be confusing. Choose a section of shoreline and a bookshop stop rather than assuming a complete circuit is a short urban stroll.

What to look for

  • The lakeside bookshop brings the waterline into its reading-room design.
  • Open shoreline paths frame the lake against the newer urban district.

Location & getting there

Getting to Xinglong Lake

Use Xinglong Lake in Tianfu New Area. Metro Line 1 provides a rail approach, followed by a walk or local transfer to your chosen section. For the bookshop, use Fuxiang or Xinglong Lake Lakeside Bookshop as the destination.
