I went to the 'End of Shanghai' Is this the Real China?
Shanghai Metro Line 16 and a Lakeside Fireworks Show
I went to Dishui lake, often described as being at the end of Shanghai, expecting to find fields, farms and quiet countryside but instead what i found completely blew my mind away.

The creator travels from central Shanghai to the last stop of Metro Line 16, expecting to find fields and a village. He says the trip took more than two hours and describes the station as large and clean. Outside, he sees modern buildings and a clean road, then walks to a lakeside where people gather in the evening. He points out cars with green plates, which he says are electric, and sees families and children riding small cars. A fireworks show draws a dense crowd. He says the regular weekly show lasts about seven minutes and a special festival show may last 15 to 20 minutes. The description names Dishui Lake, while the transcript calls the lake Dianshan Lake, so the precise place name remains uncertain.

The creator says he travels from downtown Shanghai toward the last subway station, expecting countryside. He describes travelling for more than two hours and says he started around Lujiazui, changed to Line 16 and reached its final stop. He shows the large, clean station and then walks outside, where he finds buildings and a clean road rather than the village and fields he expected. At a lake, he sees people sitting and someone playing guitar and drums. He points out cars with green number plates and says they are electric, including some luxury cars. As evening falls, families gather and children ride small cars. The creator hears that fireworks are planned, watches the show and describes the area as packed; he walks to another side after finding no place to stand. He says the weekly show lasts about seven minutes, while a show for a special occasion or festival may last 15 to 20 minutes. He mentions the smell of gunpowder and says the show is over before people start leaving. The video description identifies the destination as Dishui Lake, but the transcript calls the lake Dianshan Lake, so the exact name is not resolved by the transcript alone.
