The five major freshwater lakes: Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake, and Chaohu Lake.

Introduction to Poyang Lake: Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China.

It is located in the northern part of Jiangxi Province, 50km northeast of Nanchang City.

Poyang Lake receives water from the five rivers of Gan, Fu, Xin, Rao and Xiu, and the Yangtze River, the largest river in my country, flows below.

Under normal water levels, Poyang Lake covers an area of ??3,914 square kilometers and has a volume of 30 billion cubic meters.

The amount of water flowing into the Yangtze River every year exceeds the total amount of water in the three rivers of the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and Hainan River.

Poyang Lake has a water surface of about 200,000 hectares in Jiujiang, and its basin covers six counties (districts) including Duchang, Hukou, Xingzi, Yongxiu, De'an and Lushan District. It is a pearl in northern Jiangxi.

Poyang Lake, with its vast mist and vast waters, has formed a shape that is wide in the south and narrow in the north after a long period of geological evolution, just like a huge treasure gourd tied to the belt of the Yangtze River.

Due to the influence of the southeast monsoon carrying a large amount of water vapor, the annual rainfall in Poyang Lake is more than 1,000 millimeters, forming a humid monsoon climate of "the country is green with green grass and yellow plums in the misty rain", and has become a famous land of fish and rice.

Dongting Lake Dongting Lake, known as "Yunmengze" in ancient times, is the second largest freshwater lake in my country.

Spanning the two provinces of Hunan and Hubei, it connects the Yangtze River to the north and the Xiang, Zi, Yuan and Feng rivers to the south. It is known as the "Eight Hundred Mile Dongting Lake".

Dongting Lake means fairy cave, which shows its beautiful and charming scenery.

Dongting Lake is vast and winding, with abrupt mountains. Its biggest feature is that there is a lake outside the lake and mountains in the lake, with fishing sails dotted, reed leaves green, the water and sky the same color, and gulls and herons flying.

The scenery is different in the four seasons of spring and autumn, and it changes in thousands of ways in one day.

Among the "Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang" described by the ancients, the "Autumn Moon in Dongting", "Returning to the Sail at Yuanpu", "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand", "Sunset in the Fishing Village", "Dusk Snow in the River and Sky", etc., are all portrayals of the current East Dongting Lake.

The scenery of Binhu is extremely beautiful, and many scenic spots are national-level scenic spots, such as Yueyang Tower, Junshan, Du Fu's Tomb, Yangmo Village, Tiejing Building, Quzi Temple, Yuelong Pagoda, Confucian Temple, Longzhou Academy and other places of interest.

In Chenglingji, the junction between West Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, there is a place called Sanjiangkou.

Looking out over Dongting from here, you can see the Xiangjiang River rushing north, the Yangtze River rolling eastward, water birds soaring, hundreds of boats vying for the current, the water and sky the same color, the scenery is very majestic.

Folk legends such as Liu Hai playing with the golden toad, Dongfang Shuo stealing fairy wine, and Emperor Shun's second concubine searching for her husband thousands of miles away originated from here... The most famous one in the lake is Junshan, which has beautiful scenery.

It is an isolated island on Dongting Lake. There are 72 peaks on the island. There are ferries that travel here every day for about an hour.

It takes one day to visit the mountains, go in the morning and return in the afternoon.

Not only can we go to Junshan, but we can also take a swim in Dongting Lake. It’s really two birds with one stone.

Junshan's original name is Dongting Mountain, which means immortal cave.

It is said that 4,000 years ago, Emperor Shun visited the south. His two concubines, Ehuang and Nvying, were unable to catch up with them. They climbed the bamboo and cried bitterly. Their tears fell on the bamboo and turned into mottled bamboo.

Later, the two concubines died on the mountain, and later generations built the tomb of the two concubines.

The two were also called Xiang Fei and Xiang Jun. In order to commemorate Xiang Jun, Dongting Mountain was changed to Jun Mountain.

There are existing monuments such as the Tomb of Erfei, Xiangfei Temple, Liuyi Well, Feilai Bell, etc.

Junshan's bamboos are very famous, including spotted bamboo, Luohan bamboo, square bamboo, solid bamboo, purple bamboo, moso bamboo, etc.

Grand dragon boat festivals, lotus festivals and water sports are held here every year.

Dongting Lake is a famous land of fish and rice, with extremely rich products.

Specialties in the lake include precious river freshness such as river mussels, eels, Dongting crabs, and fortune fish, as well as Junshan famous tea, Luohan bamboo, square bamboo, solid bamboo, purple bamboo, spotted bamboo, moso bamboo and other bamboo products, and there are many types.

Taihu Lake Taihu Lake was called Zhenze in ancient times, also known as the Five Lakes. It is the third largest freshwater lake in my country, with an area of ??more than 2,000 square kilometers, 48 ??large and small islands, and 72 peaks.

The mountains and rivers here are interdependent and rich in layers, forming a natural picture of "green mountains outside the mountains, lakes outside the lake, and peaks clustered with caves and springs".

While admiring the "beautiful and delicious scenery" of Taihu Lake, you can also visit the famous mountains and gardens of Jiangcai and explore the history. The east, north and west coasts of Taihu Lake and the islands in the lake are the birthplaces of Wuyue culture, and there are a large number of cultural relics and historic sites, such as
