Overlooking from the air, there is no blue waves on the surface of Poyang Lake. The mud -brown water surface is transferred to the lake bed exposed under the scorching sun. It can only be distinguished from the depth of color. The lake surface is dark, and the dry lake bed is light. The originally open watercourse is now like a maze. A boat is working in it. The corner of the lake not far away, the vehicle passes through the rut of the road, and the green grass has not returned to the green.

"The water level is constantly decreasing, and the area of ​​the lake beach is also expanding, and the dried dead fish are everywhere." On September 6, Zhang Xiaolin took the scene under the scorching sun. "I go to the area of ​​Laotou Mountain, Songmen Mountain, and Jishan Mountains in the north of Poyang Hunan. This year, the water level of Poyang Lake is 5 meters lower than the same period of the previous year, and the grass on the mountain is dead."

According to public information, the highest part of the shoe mountain is 90 meters above sea level. It was originally surrounded by water on all sides, three -sided cliffs, and water depth of about 9 meters. Visitors could board the shoe mountain from the northwest. But now the water level has declined, the entire mountain is completely "dehydrated", and the waters around the mountains have become beaches.

Luoxingdun is a lake -hearted stone island with an area of ​​1800 square meters and a height of 21.8 meters. There are pavilions and pavilions on the island. During the flood season, it is surrounded by water on all sides, and you can walk on the island during the dry season. Since the beginning of this year, Luo Xingdun has experienced "two days of ice and fire." According to the official website of the Lushan Municipal Government, on April 7, the Poyang Lake Fengshui period was completely submerged into the water. However, after late August, after the water level decreased, the water area of ​​this area decreased greatly, and the stars were completely lost to the lake water, turning into "four sides of grass", and "island" was named unrealistic.

Under all kinds of wonders, the severity of drought can be peeped, and drought resistance has also become a top priority in Poyang Lake.
