This is a beautiful spot.

This is a weekend spot for the Shanghaiese. Lots of people walking/biking around. Though 3/4 of the lake is serene, with nice hidden hotels and restaurants. The other 1/4 is the City, with skyscrapers. A total contrast. A yin and a yang.

There is a great levee/dike to walk through the lake, about 2km, worth walking through and then around.

There are a lot of high-end hotels, but a 2 star is still very expensive. There are several smaller hotels, but they will not take foreigners.

Reminds me of a larger Bled.
