Blooming Elegance: Cixi’s Lotus Paradise

#chinatravel
The Lotus Paradise at Empress Dowager Cixi’s royal garden, the Summer Palace, is a stunning spot where vast lotus ponds bloom in summer. Green leaves and pink flowers cover Kunming Lake, creating a dreamy scene. Cixi loved viewing the lotus from boats or pavilions, enjoying the calm and beauty. Visitors today stroll along shaded walkways, watch fish under lotus leaves, and feel the peaceful charm of this royal water garden in full bloom.
