Known as the Guinness World Record holder - Yaoxi Village
In Fuzhou City, there is a Yaoxi Village, which is hailed as the 'Number One Lotus Village'. This place is definitely a treasure spot you shouldn't miss. Hurry up and avoid any pitfalls by liking and saving it in advance!
The annual Lotus Festival is usually held around July 13th. If friends in or around Fuzhou City want to visit, you should pay close attention to this guide!
Currently, the lotuses are still growing, so there aren't many to see if you come now. Moreover, the recent frequent rainy weather is not conducive to travel.
Speaking of transportation, self-driving is the best choice. If you don't have a car, no worries, you can also take a high-speed train. After getting off at Nanfeng Station, there are direct buses to Guangchang County. Once you arrive at the Guangchang County Bus Station, you can transfer to reach Yiqian Town.
Regarding accommodation, if you are looking for better conditions, consider staying in the county town, which is definitely better than Yiqian Town in terms of food and lodging. The recommended hotels in the county town are Emerald Intercontinental, Vienna, and Shangri-La. These three have tiered pricing, and I personally tested that none of them are too bad. Of course, there are also accommodation options in Yiqian Town, with Yilian Xiaozhu being the top recommendation. It's the only one in town, and although the overall environment is average, the rooms will definitely surprise you.
Ps~ Moreover, staying in Yiqian Town has another advantage, which is that you can explore the ancient town. Those old and dilapidated buildings allow you to appreciate the charm of a century's history. The long-standing Yiqian ancient town will surely add a unique color to your journey.

Guangchang, the first lotus village in China
In the south of the Yangtze River, lotus can be picked, and the lotus leaves are vast. The entire village is embraced by thousands of acres of lotus. The best time to enjoy the flowers is at sunrise. There is an uncommercialized ancient town nearby, which was the starting point for business in ancient Jiangxi along the Belt and Road. During the Song Dynasty, the white lotus, sun-cured tobacco, and traditional Chinese medicine produced here were already sold overseas. No matter how many sentences I write, I think it's not as good as showing you the ten miles of lotus flowers.
