    Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and the second largest lake in China. It is located in the north of Jiangxi Province, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and belongs to Shangrao City. It is located between 28 degrees 22 minutes north latitude 29 degrees 45 minutes and 115 degrees 47 minutes east longitude 116 degrees 45 minutes, spanning Nanchang, Xinjian, Jinxian, Yugan, Poyang, Duchang, Hukou, Jiujiang, Xingzi, De'an and Yongxiu cities and counties.

    The water of the Ganjiang River, Xiushui, Pojiang River (Rao River), Xinjiang River, and Fuhe River flows into the Yangtze River through the mouth of the lake. The lake basin is formed by the collapse and siltation of the earth's crust. It is 110 kilometers long from north to south, 50 70 kilometers wide from east to west, and only 5 15 kilometers narrow in the north.

    The lake covers an area of 3,150 square kilometers at flat water level (14 15 m) and more than 4,125 square kilometers at high water level (20 m). However, when the water level is low (12 meters), it is only 500 square kilometers, so that the summer and autumn are flooded, and the barren beaches are boundless in winter and spring, so that millions of acres of lake and beach land cannot be cultivated in large quantities, and it is easy to breed grass and beach snails.
