It is now the perfect time to appreciate lotus and water lily in SIP. The flowers of the aquatic plants are in full bloom everywhere, forming different yet amazing pictures with the surroundings.
In Chongyuan Temple, a Buddhist temple and popular tourist destination in SIP, the pink lotus flowers standing gracefully above the water render the ancient-style tower particular tranquility and divinity.
Just across the road from Chongyuan Temple lies the Lianchi (Lotus Pool) Lake Park, a classic destination for lotus viewing. This 790,000-square-meter ecological park features 200,000 square meters of water surface, with its design rooted in Zen philosophy to create a serene and rustic ambiance with the charm of natural wilderness.
The elaborately designed lotus pools in the Jinji Lake Scenic Area create a contrast with the modern buildings, highlighting the tranquility in the bustling tourist destination.
At Ligong Causeway, visitors can enjoy delicate food while appreciating the beautiful lotus flowers.
Lotus flowers can be also found in communities. The Xietang Lotus Park, for example, ingeniously connects the garden, leisure square and lotus pool, composing a beautiful picture with water as the canvas and lotus flowers as the strokes.
The Xianying Park is a good place to enjoy water lilies which, unfolding across the emerald leaves, look like graceful ladies in gorgeous red, pink, white or yellow dresses.
