This small lake (size: 300x600m) just beside the Yangse River, and the water is drained from the Yangse by a dike. The water is very dirty. Because the place is not big, it's just flat water. Water is not deep, good for learning. Lake can dry out or be very shallow. So be careful with jumping.
The beach is not wide (20-30m), trees and small buildings close. Sand is OK, but better wear booties, you can easily cut your feet. Crowded and not good during June to August due to swimmers.

Good in North and Northeast wind, which is onshore and sideshore. Northwest is also possible but may be more gusty. This North wind blows in autumn and winter, 3-4 Bft. Northeast (20% of the time) is definitely the best clean wind, coming directly from the yellow sea. Shanghai is an area with week wind, so you will always need big gear.
From Shanghai take the airport expressway direction Pu Dong, catch Long Dong avenue then Yuan Dong avenue, exit San Jia Gang. A few km before reaching the AP turn off at exit 6 go north until the second traffic light and turn right. Follw the road until you find a big parking lot to your left. The little lake is NE of the parking lot A brown sign is indicating the San Jia Gang seaside resort. From Shanghai, can access by bus from Pu Dong center. This is a small lake, located on the east of Shanghai, in Pu Dong District, at the north of the international Pu Dong airport, around 50 km of Shanghai center.
Dangerous spot because the beach is not wide enough, but with good safety care, that works out. It's a nice little spot with Northeast. To enter the lake resort area you have to pay 20 RMB, we have negotiated it down to 10 RMB at unusual hours, that's when we kite here, like 6am, before work or in the early spring or late autumn, when others do not use that resort anymore.
04-04-16 Scribbler: Lake seems to be drained at the moment (April 2004) but still rideable: Don't jump as you're in about 20cm of water! & watch out for the ultra shallow spots around the edge. Otherwise it's butter-flat riding. Sweet.
