Cycling to Dishui lake 🚴 🇨🇳 Shanghai

Dishui Lake is the man made body of water at the tip of Shanghai province and currently is under a huge redevelopment. If you zoom in on the tip of Shanghai on your map you'll find a perfectly circular lake and that's the destination of choice for the ride we took. Getting to Dishui lake from downtown Shanghai is a simple enough ride, but it will involve a ferry journey (Mask and transport code/card). There are multiple crossings of the Huangpu river, but my preference in the crossing at the bottom of Fuxing road. From there you'll need to navigate about 8/10km south through traffic and generally people not worrying about you safety. After that you'll reach farmland, clear roads and completely flat terrain bar a few bridges, until you get to your destination. Dishui Lake is very close to a container shipyard, so do mind that you don't end up on a path to gigantic vehicles and metal boxes. There are plenty of stops for drinks and snacks in most of the route, but they become more scarce in the farmland stretch. About 25/30km. if you use Baidu maps you can locate the Gas stations and stores if required.
