Magic City Staycation: A One-Day Trip to Xiaolian Cang and Dishui Lake in Shanghai

My ideal Dishui Lake Staycation Boat cruise 🚢 Sunset 🌄 Fireworks 🎆 Dishui Lake 🚢 First circular lake scenic boat The boat at Pier No. 1 offers a 40-45 minute relaxing circular tour of Dishui Lake, featuring panoramic viewing cabins and open decks, allowing a 360-degree unobstructed view of the beautiful lake scenery. The route passes seven iconic spots, including the Lakeside Water Drop Sculpture, Bank of China Twin Towers, Intercontinental Hotel, and Dishui Cloud Hall. Exclusive spot 101 scenic axis, Dishui Lake boat’s exclusive photo point. When the boat sails to the center of the lake, the Bank of China Twin Towers embrace the Lakeside Water Drop Sculpture, forming the exclusive 101 scenic axis. The moment is brief, so we deliberately waited in advance to enjoy the sea breeze and lake views—utterly relaxing. Dishui Lake 🌇 Best sunset photo spot: One Chi Garden East Coast Store Dishui Lake has fireworks on Saturday nights. As a sunset lover, I wanted to watch the sunset, so I chose the best sunset photo spot, One Chi Garden East Coast Store, with seats facing the iconic Bank of China Twin Towers. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and foggy at times, so I had to leave with regret. Fortunately, the Chinese food I tried for the first time comforted me: garden-roasted pork neck grilled with garlic, richly flavored drunken shrimp, and refreshing, delicious porcini mushroom noodles—perfect for the hot summer. The real Dishui Lake Staycation Boat cruise 🚢 Although this Dishui Lake 💧 Staycation had some small regrets, everything was the best arrangement. I’ll come again next time!
