Aerial view of Dishui Lake
"A drop of water in the sky, a lake on the ground", the divine water that really drops down to the world is the core landscape area of Shanghai Lingang New Area - Dishui Lake.
Dishui Lake is located at No. 1 Huanhu Road, Nanhui New Town, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and the northwest side of the lake is the newly built "Dishui Lake" subway station of Shanghai Metro Line 16.
The focus of Shanghai's future development is the Lingang New Area, and the focus of the development of the Lingang New Area is the CBD centered on Dishui Lake.
Lingang New Area - New Hope
Dishui Lake administratively belongs to Lingang New Area, and Lingang New Area administratively belongs to Pudong New Area.
From 1992 to 2018, the focus of Pudong New Area's development was Lujiazui, and Pudong's GDP exceeded 1 trillion yuan for the first time.
The next development focus is Lingang New Area, and Dishui Lake, as the CBD of the main urban area of Lingang, is naturally highly strategic and planned from the beginning, and the great development responsibility is on the shoulders.
Today, Xiaobian will take you to explain in detail the whole process of Dishui Lake excavation and future development planning.
First, the design of Dishui Lake is forward-looking
Shanghai Pudong original plan
Drip Lake Scheme
Figure 1 above
The design of Dishui Lake CBD is inspired by a version of the plan made by French architects for the panoramic planning of Pudong New Area in the 90s of the last century.
At that time, Pudong was being developed on a large scale, and urban planning masters from all over the world were solicited for urban design proposals, and although Rogers' proposal was not finally adopted in the final stage, it had already left a deep impression on the leaders of Shanghai.
The main reason why Lujiazui did not adopt this super round lake to build a CBD plan was that Lujiazui was not big enough, and it was next to the Huangpu River, so this round lake must not be large, and it was a waste of valuable land resources.
But when all this is moved from Lujiazui to Lingang New Town, all these shortcomings can be solved!
The land occupied by Dishui Lake was created by sand blowing and reclamation, so there is no problem of wasting land, and there is no huge compensation caused by demolition.
Secondly, the earthwork generated by the excavation of Dishui Lake can continue to be used for sand blowing and reclamation in the east of Dishui Lake, and continue to ask for land from the sea.
It's just a matter of project money and labor, not to mention that Shanghai doesn't care about these two points, what it cares about is land, environmental impact assessment, demolition, and Dishui Lake doesn't need it.
Rogers Scheme
Drip Lake Scheme
It can be said that the current Dishui Lake CBD design scheme perfectly reproduces the design concept and original design intention of the original Rogers scheme:
Rogers' super-circular lake CBD solution is a compact functional area based on the principle of ecological sustainability, advocating green environmental protection, integration of scenery and city, future technology and continuous circulation.
He tried to shape the Lujiazui functional area into a future comprehensive scenic spot in Shanghai, rather than a single central business district!
Although his avant-garde ideas and postmodernist ideas left regrets in the development of Lujiazui, they were a perfect fit in the design and development of Dishui Lake CBD 30 years later!
I have to say that the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and the golden feathers can always shine dazzlingly wherever they fly.
Second, the excavation process of Dishui Lake
Thirty years ago, the Dishui Lake area was still a vast sea, and thirty years later, Dishui Lake has become a rising star of hope in Lingang New City and even Pudong New Area.
Dishui Lake, first of all, is an artificially excavated lake, and its biggest feature is that it is round - an anti-natural being.
Dishui Lake, with an error of no more than 0.001 kilometers between the east-west diameter and the north-south diameter, fully reflects the transformation and conquest of nature by human science and technology.
Dishui Lake, pure circular structure, diameter of 2.66 kilometers, about 8.6 kilometers around the lake, water area of 5.56 square kilometers, average water depth of 3.77 meters, the highest water depth of 6.75 meters, is the largest area of the mainland, the largest water storage of artificial excavation water lake.
Let's explain how this artificial lake was excavated step by step.
This topographic map clearly shows that before the year 2000, Dishui Lake was not a vast ocean, but at best an offshore area.
The excavation process of Dishui Lake was excavated from 2000 to 2002.
The excavation and construction of Dishui Lake not only solves the water supply problem of Linhai New Area, but also has multiple functions of flood control and drainage, regulating water storage, regulating climate and cultural tourism.
According to the official data of Dishui Lake, Dishui Lake can provide tens of millions of cubic meters of high-quality water resources for Lingang New City every year, providing a strong guarantee for the development of CBD, industrial production and the life of residents of Lingang New Town.
Dishui Lake is a masterpiece of "man conquers heaven".
This image is from July 2002 satellite remote sensing, and the area where Dishui Lake is located is in the process of reclamation, damming, and sand blowing to create land.
This map is a satellite image from July 2003, and Dishui Lake has determined the lake mark and extent, and excavation has begun. The sudden excavation of Dishui Lake is blown out with a sand blowing boat, and the major landmasses are continued to be created.
When blowing sand outward, workers will first pour a dam at intervals and fill in the earthwork and sand into the lattice between the dams.
Blowing sand to create land
After blowing, a certain proportion of cement is poured into it to facilitate solidification and molding, and the dam is continuously heightened as the land between the dam and the dam is formed.
The real Dishui Lake and the land in the nearby Lingang New Area are blown out in this way, and it can be said that the Lingang area is a new city blown out.
This is a satellite image of the Dishui Lake area in April 2005.
From this map, we can clearly see that from July 2002 to April 2005, after three years of digging and blowing sand day and night, Dishui Lake and Lingang New Town finally had the most primitive prototype.
The three-year sand blowing and land reclamation project has blown out the Linhai dam, Dishui Lake, and 56 square kilometers of new land in Lingang New Town, and the amount of earthwork and sediment used for land reclamation can reach 56 million square meters.
What level is this? These reclaimed land, sediment, and earthwork were used to build a one-meter-square mud wall, which was enough to circle the earth one and a half times.
Finally, this is a satellite image of the Dishui Lake area from April 2006, and we can see that the outline of Dishui Lake has been almost completed, and it is a very round artificial lake dotted with three small islands, which will be used as a venue for future landscapes, hotels and museums.
From July 2002 to April 2005, the basic construction was completed, Shanghai Dishui Lake from 0 to 1, from scratch to the metamorphosis!
"Only the infrastructure has more ambitions, dare to call the sun and the moon a new day!"
Third, the development plan of Dishui Lake
Dishui Lake Planning
The development plan of Dishui Lake CBD has always been the benchmark for the Lujiazui CBD in Pudong, Shanghai.
As shown in the map above, the continuous improvement of the road network and building complex around Dishui Lake is divided into five functional areas:
1. Livable area for cultural tourism
2. Administrative living area
3. International Innovation Zone
4. Coastal activity area
5. Modern service industry area
Like what:
At present, the China Maritime Museum, which has been completed, is located in the administrative living area.
China Maritime Museum
The China Maritime Museum is the first national maritime museum approved by the State Council of China.
The China Maritime Museum has a construction area of 46,000 square meters and an indoor exhibition area of 21,000 square meters.
With the theme of "Navigation" and the foundation of "Museum", the China Maritime Museum is divided into six exhibition halls: Maritime History, Ships, Navigation and Ports, Maritime Affairs and Maritime Safety, Seafarers and Military Navigation, as well as two special exhibition areas: Fishing Boats and Fishing, and Maritime Sports and Leisure.

MGM Dishui Lake
The seven-star InterContinental MGM Hotel under construction is located in the Dishui Lake International Innovation Zone.
The twin towers of the MGM Dishui Lake Hotel have been topped out, and the super-tall and unique and bizarre features will become the new landmark of Dishui Lake.
The latest news is that the MGM Fantasy Hotel in Dishui Lake will officially open to the public in June 2027.
Also located in the Dishui Lake International Innovation Center is the "Top Scientist Innovation Center".
The already completed Dishui Cloud Hall Exhibition Center is located in the livable area of cultural tourism.
The Dishui Cloud Hall Exhibition Center is the exhibition center for the planning and design of Dishui Lake.
The design concept of the Dishui Cloud Hall Exhibition Center introduces the concept of "cloud in the lake, city in the cloud" to increase the interaction between the scenery and urban space around Dishui Lake.
The Dishui Cloud Hall Exhibition Center is located on the northwest side of Dishui Lake North Island, with a construction area of more than 8,000 square meters and an exhibition area of 4,500 square meters.
It has also signed a contract for the larger project of Dishui Lake, a livable functional area for cultural tourism, as well as Haichang Ocean Park, Lingang Performing Arts Center and Ice Star City Ski Hall.
Also noteworthy is the 105 area in the area directly north of Dishui Lake - the modern service industry area.
Dishui Lake 105 Modern Service Industry Area is the commercial center of Lingang New City and the future CBD of Dishui Lake.
The modern service industry area is connected by a central axis of the city, and the overall layout is "the core of the industry at both ends, and the center is the international life".
The modern service industry business area is divided into three parts:
1. The southern part is the financial and trade core area composed of the financial headquarters bay and the TOD central business district.
2. The northern part is the core area of the science and technology industry based on the modern science and technology industry.
3. The central living area is composed of two major areas: the high-end residential south area and the international residential northern area.

in a word
In the last decade, we will look at Lujiazui in Pudong, and in the next decade, we will look at Lingang Dishui Lake.
Lingang New City will be the 2.0 version of Pudong's economic miracle, and Dishui Lake is the core leader of Lingang New Town.
The core area of Dishui Lake CBD planned ahead of time will lead the Lingang New Area into a new era of the world's marine economy.

At last
I wish Dishui Lake and the surrounding areas to be built better and better, with attractive scenery, developed transportation and economic take-off.
I also wish the completion of Lingang New City all the best, the popularity is growing day by day, and the financial resources are rolling in.
