Drought turns lake into grassland

Zhan Linsheng, a 55-year-old fisherman, walks on the grassy bottom of Poyang Lake, in Duchang county, East China's Jiangxi province, Nov 20, 2013. The lake entered its dry season two months earlier than previous years because of less precipitation and the lower level of Yangtze River, which it connects to, causing difficulty in fishing, drinking and farming among local people. Poyang is the largest freshwater lake in China. [Photo/Xinhua]
