Liurudun, a socialist new countryside
Liurudun natural village is located in the southeastern part of Dianshan Lake Town. It is a picturesque socialist new countryside. When visiting Dianshan Lake to enjoy the lake scenery and the spring colors, why not take a detour to Liurudun for a walk.

It's not Erhai, it's Dianshan Lake in Shanghai!
It's not Erhai, it's Dianshan Lake in Shanghai!
The sunny October
is the best time to go camping by the lake
Dianshan Lake should be the place in Shanghai that most resembles Dali. Bring a camping chair, beer snacks, and a sound system. The lake is sparkling
The fishing boat occasionally rumbles across the lake
The passing sanitation worker aunt will also greet us friendly and recommend us fun places nearby
A very comfortable check-in point~
Traveling small tips:
1 Location:
Dianshan Lake (located at the junction of Kunshan, Jiangsu and Qingpu District, Shanghai)
2 Recommended self-driving route:
Huanhu Avenue-True Love Pier-Flower Sea Park-Rainbow Bridge
We drove half a circle along the lake, about 60Km in a circle, Flower Sea-Huanhu
The avenue is highly recommended! It's really like being in Dali, it's so beautiful!
3 Parking point:
The roads by the lake are basically parkable, and if not, there will be security guards to remind;
√There are parking lots near each small scenic spot, the price is very friendly! The first time I parked in the parking lot of True Love Pier, the first half hour was 5 yuan, and then 1 yuan/hour;
4 Dianshan Lake and specific strategies are also out! In the previous note
5 About camping:
You can bring your own equipment, or you can rent it; there are special camping spots by the lake and you can also find places with fewer people (be sure to pay attention to safety)
