Watching lotus flowers in Jiaogang Lake

It coincides with the early summer, and the sunshine is getting stronger. I was lucky enough to enjoy the lotus flowers in Jiaogang Lake in early July.

Jiaogang Lake is located in Fengtai County, Huainan City. It has been reported that the lotus in Jiaogang Lake was specially reported by a channel of CCTV, and others have heard its name.

The first thing you see when you enter Jiao Gang Lake Scenic Area is a tall gatehouse with four cursive characters written on it: "Shuicheng Yuntai", which is said to be the famous Mo Bao.

To see the lotus, you must first take a boat through a deep-water lake about 5 kilometers. When you get to the shore and get off the boat, you will see the lotus flowers in blue waves.

This lotus pond covers an area of nearly 1000 mu, and there is a plank road on the water. Tourists all enjoy the lotus flowers through the plank road. Because we arrived earlier, tourists are still scarce. It was already very hot in the morning of early summer, but when we reached the lotus pond plank road, we felt a cool breeze coming on our faces. With the fragrance of lotus flowers, it suddenly made people feel refreshed, and the impetuous summer suddenly vanished.

Cross the plank road, you can go to the depths of the lotus pond, where you can overlook the lotus and lotus leaves at will, and get in touch with Ling Boxian.

It seems that the flowering period of lotus is very long. Although many lotuses are full of lotus seeds, there are still many "Hostas" just emerging from the water. Of course, the most eye-catching is the blooming lotus. There are five varieties of lotus here, most of which are very large, with ordinary pure white, pink, yellow-green, flame-like red. The most unusual is a rare double-petal variety.

The water in the lotus pond is clear and shallow, and the fish swimming under the lotus leaves are clearly visible. There are not many fish, they are all small fish. There are many seagulls in the sky. When seagulls pounced on the water, small fish swished into the grass at the bottom of the water.

Near noon, the weather is getting hotter and my sweat is getting more and more, but it is really difficult to leave in this ocean of blue waves and blooming flowers. Under the scorching sun, the lotus not only didn't bow its head, but became more tall and charming. The ancients compared lotus to a gentleman. It is born in water, melts in fire, and is soft inside and rigid outside. The white lotus root is buried in the mud, but it is open-minded in the common dust. Isn't this the image of a modest gentleman?

Suddenly remind of He Tai sui's words.

Willow returns to the pond, Yuanyang leaves the pond, green duckweed breaks the lotus boat road, no bees and butterflies yearn for fragrance, and the red skirt is bitter.

Showing happiness and beauty to the world and hiding bitter lotus hearts are the embodiment of a gentleman's noble sentiment!
