The lotus flowers in Beijing's Grand Canal are going crazy this summer

July is the season for lotus viewing, it seems that I come to the Grand Canal every year to see the lotus, and this year's lotus pond did not disappoint me.🪷 Compared with the lotus flowers in other parks, the lotus flowers in the Grand Canal Park are in groups, extending continuously, especially the lotus leaves on the shore are taller than people,🌿 using 'The lotus leaves reach up to the sky in endless green' to describe it is not an exaggeration! - 🧭Location: Grand Canal Forest Park 'Moon Island' 🅿️Parking: Navigate to 'Grand Canal Forest Park West Gate No.1 Parking Lot', then walk there 🎫Ticket: Free, open all day - 🗺️Touring Tips: ❶Lotus flowers generally bloom in the morning and close during the day and at night. To see the fully bloomed lotus, you can go at 8 a.m. However, the lotus flowers in the evening are also nice🪷 ❷There is no obstruction on the shore of the Grand Canal Forest Park, you can stand close to the lotus leaves and take overhead shots from the high ground on the shore, which looks great📸 ❸Dress code is not picky, just avoid green. Wear bright colors when the sun is strong, and dark colors on cloudy days also make for good photos☀️ ❹It is recommended to go after 5 p.m., when the setting sun shines on you, the photo effect is very soft, and the person stands out more❤️ ❺In addition to the shore, Moon Island also has many lotus ponds where you can view the lotus up close. You can also climb the viewing platform for a distant view, which offers a great sightline🌆 ❻ The Grand Canal Forest Park is very large, if you have extra time, you can visit the 'Wind Walking Reed' area, where the groups of reeds also make for great photos!🌱 ❼The Grand Canal Forest Park is adjacent to the City Green Heart Park, it is recommended to visit them together for a full day. The Beijing City Library and the Beijing Grand Canal Museum are also nearby, and you can visit them as well🕋
