Introduction
Poyang Lake is not only the largest freshwater lake in China, but also the second home for precious avian migratory birds. Near the southwestern coast of the lake, there are two small islands called Nanshan and Fanshan, collectively known as Nanji Mountain. Every year in October, a large number of migratory birds, including cranes, swans, white-tailed eagles, white-naped cranes, storks, black storks, great bustards, spoon-billed herons, and geese, fly 5,000 kilometers southward from places like Siberia and gather in the surrounding lakes such as Changhu, Lingxiao, Beijiahu, Donghu, and Shentanghu. They typically return north during the warm and blooming season in the following year. Address Wucheng Town, Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province
