[Five Freshwater Lakes in China]
The largest freshwater lake: Poyang Lake (Jiangxi)
Poyang Lake, formerly known as Pengze, covers an area of 39 14 square kilometers. It is the largest freshwater lake in China. It receives water from five rivers, Jiangxi, Fuzhou, Guangxi, Rao and Xiu, and flows down to the Yangtze River. It is wide in the south and narrow in the north, like a giant gourd tied around the waist of the Yangtze River. Its annual flow into the Yangtze River exceeds the total flow of the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Haihe River, and it is the regulator of the Yangtze River.
Poyang Lake has vast smoke and beautiful water plants. There are a large number of precious fish roaming in the Yangtze River basin, and many precious birds inhabit here every year, making the scenery of Poyang Lake more pleasant. Moreover, Poyang Lake has been a gathering place for literati since ancient times, and many poets have left immortal poems here, such as Wang Bo's "Fishing boats sing late and resound all over the coast of Peng Li" and Su Dongpo's "The mountains are grey, the water is boundless, and the aunts are in the river", all of which describe the scenic spots of Poyang Lake. The famous scenic spots of Poyang Lake are Shi Zhongshan, Dagushan, Nanshan and Luoxing Lake.

Dongting Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in China, spanning Hunan and Hubei provinces. It is connected to the Yangtze River in the north and the four waters of Hunan, Guizhou, Yuan and Tan in the south, so it is called "Dongting Lake with 800 Li". Dongting Lake means immortal abode of fairies, so its scenery is beautiful and charming. Its biggest feature is that there are lakes outside the lake and mountains in the lake.
The lakeside scenery is extremely beautiful, and many scenic spots are national-level scenic spots, such as Yueyang Tower, Junshan, Dufu Tomb, Confucian Temple, Longzhou Academy and other places of interest.
Dongting Lake is a famous land of fish and rice, with extremely rich products. Special products in the lake include mussels, Monopterus albus, Dongting crab and other precious seafood.
