In summer, besides escaping the heat, there's one more thing I'm passionate about... and that's admiring lotus flowers! Guess what, I found a very nice place to enjoy lotus flowers in Zhaohua, Guangyuan, which is perfect for a family outing.😉 📍 Pingle Tourist Area, Guangyuan City 💰 Free ☘️ The lotus leaves are lush, and the water ripples gently. Seeing the delicate pink lotus flowers standing gracefully lifts my spirits.☺️ 👣 Walking on the winding wooden boardwalk feels like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. A gentle breeze carries a hint of floral fragrance. 📸 In such a beautiful place, don't forget to take out your phone and capture this unexpected beauty. Whether it's a panoramic view of the lotus pond or a close-up of dewdrops kissing the petals, every photo will be the most eye-catching in your social media feed! Besides admiring the lotus flowers, you can also visit the nearby Pingle Temple and Qifeng Gorge. Personally tested, highly recommended!
