Lingang
临港
Shanghai's East-Sea new city at Pudong's southern tip: the perfect man-made circle of Dishui Lake ringed by an 8 km free greenway with seven rainbow bridges and sculpture gardens, the Nanhuidui seawall's ~7 km shore walk, and the flagship Astronomy Museum — a lake-and-sea day reached directly by Line 16.
Lingang New Area (临港新城) is Shanghai's East-Sea-facing new city — the southern tip of Pudong and the city's most easterly urban area, built on 2002-era reclamation for the science-and-port economy and reported among Shanghai's cleanest air. Its heart is Dishui Lake (滴水湖), the man-made perfect circle — reported ~2.5 km in diameter and ~5.56 km², a national water-scenic area since 2009 — ringed by the 8 km dedicated lakeside greenway with its seven rainbow-tinted landscape bridges, the sculpture garden and Turing Square on the west shore, the Duoyun bookhouse with its 270° lake view, and the seasonal park on the south arc. The district's second act is the sea: the Nanhuidui seawall (南汇嘴观海公园) a short hop south, whose ~7 km shore walk completes the lake-and-sea pairing (delivered as the companion trail page). The flagship Shanghai Astronomy Museum — reportedly the world's largest planetarium by floor area — anchors the day-trip theme of ride, museum and seafood. Access is the district's strength: Metro Line 16's 滴水湖站 feeds the lake directly, about 70–80 minutes from Longyang Road.
