Dianshan Lake, located at the junction of Qingpu District, Shanghai and Kunshan City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, with a total area of 62 63 square kilometers, is the largest freshwater lake in Shanghai. It is like a hidden mother, lying quietly in the arms of the two places. It is the source of the Huangpu River, the mother river of Shanghai, like a loving mother, nourishing the land of Shanghai.

However, since the 1990s, due to the discharge of pesticides and fertilizers around the lake and industrial wastewater from towns and towns, the lake water has been partially eutrophicated.
