Where to go in Shanghai on the weekend｜A hidden Taiwanese estate by Dianshan Lake

A huge estate run by a Taiwanese couple by Dianshan Lake, tucked away at a small bike path entrance on Shangcai Road, truly a real-life paradise‼️

Inside, there’s not only: 🏠 guest rooms suitable for team-building stays, 🏕️ hardcore outdoor campsites, 🌽 hydroponic vegetable greenhouses, 💍 wedding banquet halls, 🎸 a cool international music and art space, 🐢 nearly a hundred acres of green softshell turtle rice fields, and a specialty restaurant "Hong Jia Xuan · Softshell Turtle Cuisine," with very complete and rich facilities.

🙋‍♀️ Suitable for: outdoor lovers / music lovers / softshell turtle food lovers
📝 Usage: family gatherings / friend gatherings / company team-building

Basic outdoor facilities like canoeing 🚣 and cycling 🚲 are available. There’s a river between Area A and Area B of the estate that leads directly to Dianshan Lake, where you can fish 🎣 (but you need to bring your own fishing rod❗️)

Because the estate has a restaurant specializing in softshell turtle cuisine, the dishes are very professional and delicious, truly on par with high-end city restaurants. As a restaurant inside a homestay estate, it’s really impressive 👍. We highly recommend everyone to make a reservation and try it! It has even won several awards from Jinze Town 🥇

If you have a chance to visit around Dianshan Lake for a walk or rest, you can also drop by to have some fun~
