A Dialogue Between Water and Sky, Between Lake and Sea — InterContinental Shanghai Dianshui Lake

Far from the city, the InterContinental Dianshui Lake is the most expansive stop on my trip. The hotel is located by the lake, and the pool feels like an extension of the lake water, as if you could swim right into the horizon. Unlike the rooftop pools in the city center, this infinity pool blends seamlessly with nature, offering a breath that is close to the earth and time. When I step into the pool, my view instantly stretches between the lake surface and the sky; the water is calm like a mirror, reflecting the afternoon clouds and distant sailboats. This place is neither noisy nor flashy; it simply exists quietly, waiting for every traveler willing to calm their heart to feel it. The pool at Dianshui Lake feels like a conversation with heaven and earth, whispered yet profound.
