Where can one cool off on scorching summer days? The poetic breeze brings a sense of freshness and comfort. In the height of summer, E-Town's lotus flowers have finally entered prime time.

By the shores of Yanying Lake in the Nanhaizi Park, at Wanghetai in Tongming Lake Park, along the wooden pathways of the Riverside Park in E-Town New Area, beside Boda Lake in the Boda Park, and along the paths in the International Enterprise Cultural Park, E-Town has created a flower viewing map for visitors.

The "Summer Rain Lotus" in the Tongming Lake Park has long been a favorite among flower lovers. 

Over 30 mu (2 hectares) of summer lotuses are spread across the water with graceful fairies dancing on the surface, adorning E-Town's summer with classic beauty.

In Nanhaizi Park, the lotus planting area covers more than 500 mu (33.33 hectares), predominantly featuring the red lotus of Baiyangdian, creating a stunning "pink half-lake" scene. 

Meanwhile, the lotus leaves stand tall like canopies, and waterfowl dart in and out of them, adding a unique charm.

Admiring the lotuses up close, they stand gracefully like elegant ink paintings. 

A gentle breeze brings wafts of fragrance. The lotus leaves sway gracefully, and the flowers dance with the wind. The lush green leaves and the vibrant flowers complement each other, creating romance and beauty in summer. 

It is expected that by July, E-Town's lotuses will enter their blooming period.

This summer, how about visiting E-Town and being in touch with the allure of the lotus?
