A circular man-made lake 2.6 km in diameter, excavated in 2002—the "blue heart" of Lingang New City: three islands sit at its center, and the lakeside scenic belt links the "three venues" of China Maritime Museum, Shanghai Astronomy Museum and Haichang Ocean Park, with cycling paths and campsites all around the shore. The giant "Sinan Fish" (compass) sculpture at Nanhui Zui Seaside Park faces the East China Sea, a spot for sunrise viewing and beachcombing at low tide; Metro Line 16 runs direct, making it Shanghai's leisure living room closest to the sea.

Getting there: Metro Line 16, Dishui Lake Station
