Shoe Island (Xieshan), also called Dagu Shan, is a lone island in the northern part of Poyang Lake. From a distance it looks like an embroidered slipper floating on the water, hence the name. It is thickly wooded and ringed by open water; in winter, when the lake falls, broad grassy flats appear around it.
