You must visit Guangzhou Lotus Mountain in the height of summer

Summer is the season of lotuses, and Guangzhou Lotus Mountain is absolutely the perfect place to admire them! Stepping into Lotus Mountain feels like entering a fairyland blanketed with lotuses—thousands of acres of lotus ponds stretch endlessly, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
🌷 Incredible variety: Over 1,200 types of lotus flowers and 600 varieties of water lilies are cultivated here, many of which are rare elsewhere. The colors are dazzling—pure white, pink, pale purple—each blossom standing gracefully, swaying gently in the breeze and releasing a delicate fragrance.
📸 Perfect for photos: Every shot is a masterpiece! Stand on the wooden boardwalks with vast lotus fields as your backdrop, turn on portrait mode, and the atmosphere is instantly elevated. The quaint pavilions offer great angles for low-angle shots, blending people and lotuses harmoniously. With a telephoto lens, you can capture stunning close-ups of lotus petals and stamens in exquisite detail.
🎭 Exciting activities: During the Lotus Festival, the scenic area hosts live performances at the Fairyland Lake stage, where actors in ancient costumes dance gracefully amid the lotuses, transporting you back in time. There are also flash mobs with "Lotus Fairies" interacting with visitors—fun and engaging!
💡 Practical tips:
1. Arrive early in the morning for soft lighting and fresher lotuses, perfect for photos.
2. Bring mosquito repellent—there are quite a few near the ponds.
3. Wear light-colored, simple outfits for better photos. Hanfu is also a great choice, and there’s currently a half-price discount for Hanfu wearers!
4. Snack stalls and restaurants are available inside, though prices are slightly higher. Packing some snacks is also an option.
🚗 Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Guangzhou Lotus Mountain Tourist Area"—the parking lot is spacious. Alternatively, take Metro Line 4 to Shiqi Station (Exit A) and transfer to Bus Fan 92 or Fan 93 directly to the entrance.
🎫 Tickets: Purchase online in advance for convenience.
This summer, don’t miss the chance to visit Guangzhou Lotus Mountain for a romantic rendezvous with the season’s most enchanting blooms!
