Short walk |
Take the A9 leaving Shanghai to the West until the end. Turn right and a few meters later left on the main road. Then pass a concrete artificial huge aircraft carrier on the right. Two km further down the road there is a totally rotten gate, only the concrete frame remains, turn right into there and follow the path towards the water, park in front of the little bridge which blocks the way.
