Poyang Lake
China¡¯s largest freshwater lake at 3583 sqkm,Poyang Lake has been feted by poets for centurise for its tranquil atmosphere and scenery. A few historical temple /pavilion odds and ends are dotted along the shoreline,but aficionados of avian life are simply agog at the seeming millions of migrating birds that pass though here,arguably the planet¡¯s largest migratory habitat.Over 300 species pass through the area in winter,highlighted by over 5000 white cranes of a variety of species;Poyang Lake is home to 95% of the world¡¯s population of some of these species.
Getting there is tricky.Few buses rattle to villages on the banks.The best bet is to catch a semi-regular ferry across Poyang Lake to Boyang.In summer,and usually during periods of migration,some tour boats circumnavigate the lake.
