Dian Shan Lake is a large inland freshwater lake in the Jiangsu Province region of eastern China. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline with residential and agricultural development along the banks. The water body is bordered by cultivated farmland, residential neighborhoods, and infrastructure including elevated roads and embankments that serve as flood control measures.
The lake offers relatively protected conditions due to its enclosed nature and limited fetch distance. Wind reliability is notably low at 1.9%, with average winds around 5.9 knots, making consistent riding sessions challenging. The shallow agricultural areas visible on the eastern shore indicate variable bottom conditions.
Best conditions occur with southeasterly to southwesterly winds (135°) that provide side-shore orientation along the main northeastern shore. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions. The tight urban/agricultural setting means limited space, shallow zones, and potential debris. Water quality may vary seasonally. Access appears concentrated at developed areas with road infrastructure. Sessions are best planned around rare wind events given the very low wind reliability statistic.
