Hydrangeas, water lilies, and lotuses vie for beauty at Wuhan Botanical Garden!!

In May, the hydrangeas at Wuhan Botanical Garden are so popular they've become the talk of the town! As June approaches, the water lilies and lotuses in full bloom are simply breathtaking😍. The huge lotus pond is filled with a variety of lotuses, truly embodying the poem 'Endless green lotus leaves reach up to the sky, while the sunlit lotuses offer a unique red hue.' There's even a wooden walkway over the water, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the lotuses. Whether you're photographing flowers or taking portraits, it's particularly suitable. The quaint wooden arch bridge over the pond adds a touch of Jiangnan water town charm to the place. The lotus leaves stand tall, dancing in the wind, and the water surface is clear and smooth, just like 'each and every lotus leaf rising in the wind,' making one feel as if they've stepped into the Jiangnan region🤩. Next to the lotus pond, the water lily display area gathers hundreds of rare water lily species, with a multitude of colors, super stunning👏. Here's a warm tip, if you want to view the lotuses and water lilies, it's recommended to go in the morning, as the water lilies might 'clock out' early in the afternoon! Plus, after a day under the sun, the lotus petals might get a bit dehydrated. You can check out the botanical garden's guide map in my posted picture 18, where the main lotus and water lily varieties are concentrated in the area marked with red graffiti pen. After entering the gate, turn right and walk for about five minutes to get there. The hydrangeas are mainly located along the Flower Border Avenue, and they are still in the blooming season.
