Wow! There is a "Summer Limited" lotus sea hidden next to Gexiang subway station!

In the hustle and bustle of the city, do you long to find a quiet place to encounter that touch of freshness and beauty? While most people shuttle through the Gexiang subway station, busy with life, few people know that there is a picturesque lotus pond hidden here, blooming with a different splendor in summer. ## First encounter: Encountering the beauty of lotus charm at the corner When you walk out of the Gexiang subway station and follow the faint lotus fragrance, the lotus pond will jump into your eyes inadvertently. In an instant, it seems that the whole world has quieted down, and the noise of the city has been isolated. In front of you, the lotus leaves in the pond are crowded together, like big green discs. Pink and white lotus flowers emerge from between these big discs, some petals are fully unfolded, revealing tender yellow lotus pods; some are still buds, looking full and about to burst. As the breeze blows, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers sway gently, like a group of fairies in green and pink skirts dancing. The water drops on the lotus leaves roll like crystal jade beads, adding a bit of agility and beauty. The sun shines down, outlining the golden outlines on the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The light and shadow interweave, and the beauty is like a dream. ## Appreciating the Lotus: Savoring the Poetic and Elegant Charm This lotus pond is like a natural ink painting, and every scene is full of poetry. Standing by the pond, you can appreciate the beauty of the lotus flowers up close and feel its noble quality of "coming out of the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being coquettish". The snow-white petals are delicate and soft, as if they will melt with a light touch; and the pink lotus flowers are like shy girls, with blushing cheeks, and they are even more charming against the background of the lotus leaves. In the lotus pond, you can occasionally see small fish swimming under the lotus leaves. Sometimes they shuttle between the flower stems, and sometimes they hide under the lotus leaves, adding some vitality to this quiet pond. This scene reminds people of the poem "Fish Playing Among Lotus Leaves", as if traveling through thousands of years to appreciate this wonderful artistic conception with the ancients. ## Check-in: Leave a beautiful moment Such a beautiful scenery is naturally a great place to check in. Whether you are wearing Hanfu and gently waving a round fan by the lotus pond for an encounter across time and space; or using lotus leaves and lotus flowers as the background, using a camera to record the happy time with family and friends, you can take very beautiful photos. Every photo freezes the most beautiful moments in summer and records the unique charm of this lotus pond. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, you might as well come to the lotus pond next to Gexiang subway station this summer and have a romantic date with this beautiful lotus. I believe that the beautiful scenery of "the lotus flowers are particularly red in summer" will surely make you linger and indulge in it. Come to the comment section to share your expectations for this lotus pond, or your beautiful story with lotus!
