I believe everyone has seen the news. Poyang Lake has been searched again. This time, because of the drought here, the ancient bridge shows its true appearance. Do you know about this ancient bridge? In fact, this season of every year is the dry season of Poyang Lake, so what's fun here in this season?
Introduction of the ancient bridge under dry water in Poyang Lake
On October 20, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, as the water level of Poyang Lake continued to drop, a 2930 meter long ancient wooden and stone bridge, known as the longest ancient wooden and stone bridge in the lake in China, emerged at the bottom of the lake during the wet season.
The bridge body is all made of granite. In the old days, it was a convenient bridge for people to travel between Duchang County and Xingzi County (today's Lushan city) when the water of Poyang Lake dried up in autumn and winter.
The stone bridge was built in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. It is an important road connecting the two sides of Poyang Lake in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is known as the 'longest ancient wooden stone bridge in the lake' in China. There are 983 flood discharge holes on the bridge, also known as the 'thousand eye bridge'.

Autumn tourism strategy of Poyang Lake
The return of migratory birds
In late September, the first batch of wintering migratory birds arrived in Poyang Lake. The first stop was Ma Ying in Duchang County. This year, the arrival time of the first batch of wintering migratory birds was five days earlier than last year. The arrival of wild geese opened the wintering sequence of migratory birds in Poyang Lake, marking the beginning of the wintering season of migratory birds in Poyang Lake.
All kinds of wintering migratory birds will be welcomed in succession. The peak number of migratory birds is in early November, about 600000.
Flowers of Polygonum hydropiper
Around November every year, as Poyang Lake enters the dry season, coupled with continuous and sufficient light, Polygonum wilfordii will quickly enter the full bloom period.
You may have seen three or two or a small piece of Polygonum multiflorum flowers on the riverside, but when the wild flowers gather together, it is definitely a visual feast.
In part of the water area of Poyang Lake, Polygonum multiflorum flowers bloom, dividing the vast wetland into two parts, forming a flower belt stretching for several kilometers, like a pink belt around Poyang Lake. The river flows quietly from the Polygonum multiflorum flowers. Green, red, water color naturally constitute a charming landscape.
The winding ditches are dotted with tourists, taking photos or camping, laughing and enjoying the fragrance of flowers in the warm sun. When the sun goes down, the sunset clouds and Polygonum hydropiper flowers on the beach merge into a poem: "the sunset clouds and the cranes fly together, and the autumn waters share the same color.".
Grassland reappearance
From now on, Poyang Lake has gradually ushered in its "cross dressing period". The once water and sky of the lake has gradually become a vast prairie, where there is no hustle and bustle of the city.
You can enjoy the gift of nature. Due to the low and dry water level, the lake becomes a river and a vast grassland.
Every year when autumn is full, every grass is releasing its vitality. It wants to show its most beautiful moment to the world, or take photos or camp to leave behind laughter.
Falling star pier floating
Luoxingdun, a thousand year old stone island in Poyang Lake, emerged completely again. During the wet season of Poyang Lake, luoxingdun submerged into the lake, leaving only part of the pavilion and courtyard buildings out of the water.
In the dry season, luoxingdun will emerge completely. It is shaped like a star. At first glance, it looks like floating on the water. This thousand year old stone island in the lake has become a major landscape of Poyang Lake.
