Sailing at Dianshan Lake
The main base of SBYC is at the Shanghai Yacht Club & Resoirt (SYCR) at the west shore of Dianshan Lake, near Grand View Garden.
It's some 60 km from downtown Shanghai and 40 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.
Please note that our sailing club is outside of Shanghai, therefore there is always the possibility of tough security checks during the EXPO when you want to return home. It is a good idea to always carry some photo ID.
How to get there:
1. By Club Bus:
SBYC members can use the SYC bus (沪B78930) from East Xujing station (terminal of Metro Line 2) to SYCR. This bus leaves every Saturday and Sunday at 0900 and 1200 from East Xujing station and returns by the end of the afternoon, leaving SYCR at 1700 and 1900.
It is mandatory to reserve a seat by sending email to Catherine (catherine@syclub.net). There is no seat guarantee for non-confirmed participants. Please mention in your email at which time you will go to SYCR and at which time you will come back.
Fee: RMB 50.00 per person, return trip.
