Located on Hehuachi Road, Yangzhou, the park is in full blossom season and offering splendid scenes.
Lotus flowers, symbolizing elegance, purity and grace, are a constant presence in ancient Chinese poetry.
Yang Wanli (1127-1206), a famous scholar from the Song Dynasty (960-1279), once wrote: "The green lotus leaves stretch to the horizon of the sky and the lotus flowers look incredibly red against the sunshine."
