Recommended places: Taoranting Park and Beihai Park

In Taoranting Park, most of the lotus flowers can be found blooming on the West Lake, adding to the beauty of the rippling waters and half-hidden pavilions. Visitors can go to Chuitai Pavilion, Huxin Pavilion, Fengyu Tongzhou Pavilion, or Jinyue Pavilion Scenic Area to appreciate the beauty of the lotus flowers.

The space lotus and the sacred lotus in Beihai Park have also blossomed. The lotus pond is mostly on the southeast side, between Yong'an Bridge and Zhishan Bridge, about 8,000 square meters. Visitors can enter from the south gate of the park.

Recommended places: Shichahai Lotus Market and Xihai Wetland Park

The lotus flowers at Shichahai have entered the full flowering period. Walk into the Lotus Market and pass by some small buildings of traditional architectural style, you'll be greeted by a vast expanse of lotus flowers in no time.

Xihai is not far from the Lotus Market. Compared with those in the Lotus Market, the lotus flowers in Xihai Wetland Park are more densely planted, and easier for visitors to have a close look. In addition, the Wild Duck Islet at the center of the waters is an important habitat for many animals. You can see ducklings straying into the lotus flowers and playing on the surface of the pond amid the rippling waves. In addition, you can also enjoy the panoramic view of the park and the beauty of the lotus pond from the top of Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall.
