Yiqinyuan Resort

The bright lotuses rise out of the water, which is stated in an ancient Chinese poem. Walking on the small bridge above the lotuses, you can breathe the fragrance from the lotus pool. The lotuses, graceful, enchanting, and charming, are full of vitality, yet they are freshly serene. Their leaves are dancing in the breeze. As the poem writes, when the oars gently shake, hundreds of lotus flowers in the lotus pond shake with them. The lake where the breeze passes is full of the fragrance of the lotus. We are somewhat unaware of ourselves, as if we are the lotuses themselves. We take a stroll in the accompany of the lotuses and are touched by them as if they are murmuring to us.
