Poyang Lake (pó), formerly known as Peng, Pengze, guanting lake, Hu and Hu, is located in the northern part of Jiangxi Province, in Jiujiang, Nanchang and Shangrao. It is the largest freshwater lake in China and the second largest lake in China, second only to Qinghai Lake. Poyang Lake is one of the main tributaries in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is also an important lake with water, throughput and seasonality in the Yangtze River basin.

Poyang Lake receives water from five major rivers, such as Ganjiang River, Fuhe River, Xinjiang River, Raohe River and Hexiu River, and from Poyang Lake, Zhang Tian River and Jintong River. After storage, it flows into the Yangtze River at the mouth of the lake. Poyang Lake plays a great role in regulating the water level of the Yangtze River, conserving water resources, improving the local climate and maintaining the ecological balance in the surrounding areas.
