Well, I’ve somehow turned 26 already. After turning 25, 30 feels closer and closer—it’s actually pretty scary…
I went to Meilan Lake today; it was my second visit. Meilan Lake is this kind of place:
It features a modest-sized lake, an outlets mall without many notable brands, a European-style commercial district, an art gallery, numerous villas and residential communities, a golf course, and a four-star hotel.
Let’s start with the food. We dined at the Western restaurant in the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Meilan Lake Hotel. The food there is fantastic—I was thoroughly satisfied with the flavors. The ambiance is also excellent; both the restaurant and the lobby boast massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the golf course.

Cod
Lamb Chops
Tiramisu
Little flowers on the table
Now let’s talk about the lake itself. It’s actually quite small—even smaller than the lake in Century Park—and since the grass hasn’t turned green yet, it lacks a bit of vitality. On the bright side, there aren’t many people around. The scenery is rather ordinary, with basically just some anglers and a few couples taking wedding photos~~ But honestly, this place is really great for photography.
Next to the lake is a European-style commercial district, but there aren’t actually many shops open. It seems like only wedding photography studios can manage to stay in business here… You can easily cover all the walkable areas in just an hour or two. Aside from having a pretty decent hotel, I wouldn’t really recommend visiting this place~~~~
