Poyanghu Pingyuan

Poyanghu Pingyuan is a low-lying agricultural plain crossed by rivers, lakes, and wetlands that spread across the landscape. The land is shaped by extensive water systems that create a network of interconnected waterways and shallow basins.

The region took shape millions of years ago during geological shifts that caused some eastern sections to sink while western areas rose. These tectonic forces created the flat landscape and the lake system visible today.

Rice farming has shaped life here for centuries, with daily routines and local celebrations tied to planting and harvest seasons. The bond between people and water is visible in fishing practices and the way communities organize their year around agricultural cycles.

Visit during warmer months when farming activities and water transport are most active and the landscape feels most alive. The flat terrain makes navigation straightforward, and paths wind through agricultural areas without steep climbs.

The water systems support more than a hundred fish species and form lakes that shift between river-like and lake-like states with the seasons. This constant transformation means the landscape looks completely different depending on when you visit.
