Poyang Lake harbors a mysterious ancient relic, which can only be fully seen during the dry season
🌊✨ The drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has turned part of the lakeside of Poyang Lake into a vast grassland, exposing the architecture that was once underwater. Luoxingdun in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, is one such enigmatic ancient structure, accessible only during the dry season.
🌊✨ Now, Luoxingdun is backed by the great grassland of Poyang Lake, with the vast lake in front. The unique charm of this mysterious underwater ancient city can only be felt when cargo ships sail by. On this protruding hillock of Luoxingdun, there stands a stone pagoda and a Zen temple, shrouded in a mystical atmosphere.
🌊✨ Luoxingdun stands out starkly against the flat lake surface, resembling a giant ship floating on the water at first glance. However, locals say that Luoxingdun is actually a visitor from outer space; the raised hillock was formed by a fallen meteorite. Later generations built Luoxingdun Temple and a stone pagoda on it. Whether it is truly a meteorite remains unknown, but today's Luoxingdun has become an attractive spot beside Poyang Lake.
🌊✨ The age-old legend of Luoxingdun, resting by the shores of Poyang Lake, leaves its mysterious origins unknown. Yet, it has stood by Poyang Lake through countless days and nights. Take advantage of the dry season to visit this ancient relic in Lushan City. Who knows when heavy rain might raise the water level, making it only visible from across the lake. To get a close view of Luoxingdun, you can take a boat from the South Gate Pier or simply walk there during the dry season.

The setting sun over the Fallen Star Island at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
Only during the winter dry season, the "Falling Star Pillar" carved out of a extraterrestrial giant stone that fell into Poyang Lake over a thousand years ago, which was built in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, will reveal its themeless entirety. In the sunset glow and the hoarse chirping of the returning geese, it appears even more ancient and somewhat eerie. This scene cannot help but remind me of the Bakong Mountain sunset in Angkor Wat. By the way, every year after the return of the rainy season in late spring and early summer, this ancient building will be submerged by Poyang Lake water, leaving only the lightning rod on top visible.
