## About Poyang Lake National Wetland Park

Poyang Lake is China's largest freshwater lake, and its beauty and abundance speak for themselves. It was also the base where Zhou Yu trained his navy during the Battle of Red Cliffs, and it was the lucky ground where Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang with a smaller force. Su Dongpo's line “Mountains green, waters vast, the Great and Small Gu stand mid-river” describes the scenery of Poyang Lake.
