Sailing at Dianshan Lake
Since 2004, the Shanghai Boat and Yacht Club main base is at the Shanghai Water Sports Centre (SWSC). Access to the SWSC is free of charge for registered members of SBYC. Non members may be required to pay a 100 RMB entrance fee.
The SWSC is located on the east side of Dianshan Lake scenic area some 50km from downtown Shanghai and 30 minutes drive from Hongqiao International Airport. The lake is named after the Dianshan Hill in the east of the lake and covers an area of 62 sq.km, making it the largest freshwater lake in Shanghai.

2. By Public Transport:
Take the Number 4 'Tourist Bus' to 'Grand View Gardens' from the stadium at Xujiahui.
