The water level of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi Province, has been falling continuously since it entered the dry season on August 19, exposing a large grassland.

A large area of riverbed is exposed and turned into a vast grassland as a result of persistent high temperatures. The historic site of Luoxingdun Island has become fully visible due to the lower water level in Poyang Lake.

This is the earliest year that Poyang Lake have entered the dry season since records began in 1951.
