The 2025 Slender West Lake Lotus Exhibition has been underway since mid-June, offering up two months of unmatched splendor.
During this enchanting period, visitors can embark on a lotus-appreciating journey, starting from the south gate of Slender West Lake, meandering through the Twenty-four Bridge, and culminating at the Wanhua Garden.
This year's exhibition showcases over 100 exquisite lotus varieties and nearly 50 types of water lilies. Along the water's edge, lotus leaves unfurl like emerald silk, blanketing the lake's surface. Amid this sea of green, delicate lotuses stand tall and elegant.
