Poyang Lake is a seasonal lake. During the high water period, there are vast smoke waves and most of the falling star pier is immersed in the water; part of the bottom of the lake is exposed during the dry period, and the whole picture of the falling star pier can be reproduced.
When the reporter went to Luoxing Pier, he walked through an oasis grassland to reach Luoxing Pier.
"Luoxing Pier appeared before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, buildings appeared on the island one after another. The buildings that can be seen on the island are all repaired on the basis of the original appearance of the ancient buildings." Cha Xiaorong, the former secretary of the Lushan Museum who has been studying for many years, said that Luoxingdun has a long history, and although the ancient buildings on the island have experienced weather and frost, they are still well preserved.
A reporter from Chinanews.com saw on the Luoxing Pier that there is only one archway, a Buddhist temple, a viewing platform, and an ancient pagoda on the island.
The gate of the temple is locked, but traces of life can be vaguely seen through the gaps in the windows.
On both sides of the temple, there are steps leading to the platform in the middle of the temple. From here, you can see the main channel of the Poyang Lake in the distance.

During the high water season of Poyang Lake, most of the island of Luoxingdun was soaked in the water and beaten by wind and waves, but the small island still stood for a thousand years, and the ancient buildings on the island are also well preserved. What is the reason?

Cha Xiaorong explained that there is a circle of stones around the island to build a wall, which can reduce wind blowing to a certain extent. Violation of waves hitting.
"I heard about Luoxing Dun a long time ago. I am immersed in water for most of the year. Now I come to see this magical ancient building during the dry season." Mr. Lu, who has worked in Jiujiang for several years from Zhejiang, said Luoxingdun has been admired for a long time, and it coincides with the dry season that his wife came to play with him.
