Cenbo Village is a small rural community located a few kilometers south of Dianshan Lake in the middle of forest wetlands. Cenbo is part of Jinze Water Town, a municipality of Shanghai’s Qingpu district with more than 900 years of history and related architecture monuments. Its location – only 60km from Shanghai Ppl Sq - makes it an ideal starting point for exploring nature on weekends or even for a single afternoon.
Dianshan Lake is Shanghai's largest freshwater reservoir and the source of Huangpu River, the mother river of Shanghai. It covers an area of 62 square kilometers (24 square miles) and is surrounded by a web of canals and smaller lakes which all form part of the Yangtze River Delta.
