A nearly circular man-made lake in Nanhui New City on Shanghai's south-east coast, 2.6 km across and 5.66 km² in area, dug between June 2002 and October 2003 on land reclaimed from tidal flats where the Yangtze estuary meets Hangzhou Bay. Its name, meaning «drop lake», comes from the planning idea of the German firm gmp for the new city: a drop of water falling from the sky into the sea, sending ripples around it. Linked to the sea, its water is slightly salty, and a broad promenade rings it. Walking around the lake is free; it lies about 75 km from central Shanghai, reached by metro Line 16 to Dishui Lake station, and suits walks and bike rides.
