The strongest lotus fragrance in southern Yunnan

Light spreads over the edge of Shiping city✨
Yilong Lake unfolds a clear expanse of water💦
Lotus leaves crowd together, covering the lake bay
A gentle breeze blows🌬️
Green waves surge, carrying the scent of lotus🌿
When seagulls skim the water
Their wingtips lightly touch, creating sparkling ripples✨
