Emerging from the mud unsoiled, living as summer flowers, the lotuses in Lianhuachi Park are in full bloom

Upright in character, not sprawling or branching, the fragrance is far-reaching and enhances the clarity, standing tall and pure. I alone love the lotus for rising out of the dirty mud unsoiled, washed by the pure water without becoming enchanting. (Song Dynasty·Zhou Dunyi·On the Love of the Lotus) Next to Beijing West Railway Station, Lianhuachi Park, with a summer rain, officially welcomes the blooming of the lotuses. The various lotuses in the square, lake, potted, and aquatic plants are blooming competitively, colorful and diverse.
