I found a place with half grassland and half flower fields at Poyang Lake!
This is a natural treasure campsite at Poyang Lake. Every year from October to November, there are large grasslands and flower fields here. You can take photos of flower fields, grasslands, windmills, migratory birds, lakes, and sunsets. It's a great place for camping. Come and enjoy nature before autumn ends!
📍Zhangjiatang Village, Duchang County, Jiujiang
🚗About 2 hours' drive from Jingdezhen
🎫Free
🔸Photo tips: Wear a white dress, fairy dress, or light blue dress. When taking photos of the flower fields, lower the angle to make the flowers look more abundant. You don't need to get too close, as taking photos from a distance can make the flowers look more abundant. When taking photos of the grasslands, bring a drone to capture a large area.
⚠️Note: The road is very uneven, with many potholes. Cars with low chassis should drive slowly. After passing the grasslands, there is a wet area before reaching the flower fields. Drive carefully, as many cars have gotten stuck in the mud.

Since you went to Xihai to see the sea, you can't miss a trip to the small desert.

Visit the ancient Fengyan terraces to see the rapeseed flowers dance in Jiangxi Duchang as the grey cranes take flight
First photo:
Fengyan ancient terraces: ~~~ The rapeseed flowers of the Fengyan terraces crisscross, beautiful up to the clouds, layer upon layer upon the distant mountains, winding and meandering around the clouds.
The ancient Fengyan terraces located in Xuanwo Town, Hanyin County, southern Shaanxi, are blooming with rapeseed flowers.
Standing on the high hills, overlooking the terraces, with paths crisscrossing, houses scattered, and the golden rapeseed flowers, they form a fresh and natural spring scenery.
What's more important is that such a beautiful place does not charge an entrance fee, it's free to visit ~~~ Photographed in Yanping Village

Grey cranes ~~~ Photographed in Jiangxi Duchang
Eight or nine grey cranes, dancing gracefully above our heads, circling and flying. Clearly, they are chasing each other, dancing, and endlessly competing, engaging in a marathon-like endurance and dance skill contest.
Now is the breeding season for the grey cranes, and it is also a great opportunity for them to dance passionately and show off their skills.
At this moment, the grey cranes are like crazy, utterly obsessed, and wholeheartedly devoted to an endless dance.
Now, in the Duchang County Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, the water pepper flowers are in full bloom, and the national second-class protected animals, the grey cranes, have also gathered here. It is reported that there are more than 1,000.
The grey cranes fly in groups from the north to the Poyang Lake wetlands in Duchang to forage, with Duchang being the first stop. At present, the grey cranes are relatively concentrated; as more migratory birds arrive and food becomes scarcer, the grey cranes will gradually disperse to forage.
It is introduced that the grey cranes mainly feed on the rhizomes of plants such as water pepper grass and generally do not eat fish.

The beautiful Poyang Lake
Poyang Lake has a very beautiful scenery, with the densest lake in the south of the Yangtze River, the noblest bird, the most abundant water, and the most poetic grass.
Coming to Poyang Lake during the dry season and walking on the soft and elastic grassland is a wonderful feeling. Along the way, you can see layers of green that never end. With the change of the sky, the clouds float and stretch shallowly or deeply towards the distance until the horizon. Especially the wide Poyang Lake in the depths of the grassland and the grassland reflect each other, the grassland is like the sea, and Poyang Lake is also like the sea, with vast waves. The boundless water area is inhabited by migratory birds such as swans and egrets. In this kingdom of migratory birds, any small life is unrestrained.
Here, it is refreshing.

The beautiful and fertile Poyang Lake nurtures generations of creatures living by the lake, the superior environment and climate conditions are suitable for migratory birds to overwinter. In winter, there will be hundreds of thousands of migratory birds here, and flocks of migratory birds from Siberia will also fly thousands of miles to come here, among which there are many national protected bird species.
Poyang Lake is very large, there are quite a few bird watching spots, but the recommended one is Baihezhou bird watching spot. There is a bird watching corridor where you can see very close groups of white cranes, equipped with free-to-use telescopes, through which you can carefully observe the birds' every move, quite cute! There are white cranes, white-crowned cranes, wild geese, white-headed cranes, swans and many other bird species.
