Tucked away in Shanghai's suburbs, Mao Yun Dang unfolds like an ink-wash painting with weeping willows framing traditional houses. Misty dawns transform the lake into a dreamscape, where fishermen's silhouettes in wooden boats seem lifted from ancient scrolls. Egrets nesting in reeds are a photographer's delight. Don't miss feasting on hairy crabs at the dockside market - crack open the "June yellows" and savor the roe with ginger vinegar.
