The pool is filled with pink and white lotuses reflecting off the emerald leaves, as the lotus flowers in the Wood Fossil Garden of the Horticultural Expo Garden begin to bloom to welcome visitors.

Summer is the perfect time to admire lotuses, and the lotus flowers in the Wood Fossil Garden of the Horticultural Expo Garden have quietly made their appearance! Entering from the path beside Yunzhen Bridge, you'll find a pond brimming with lush green lotus leaves, among which double-petaled lotuses, like delicate pink-and-white ladies, hide beneath the foliage. The buds and blooming flowers create a charming contrast, and staff predict the flowers will reach their peak bloom within one to two weeks. For a spectacular lotus view, don’t miss the pool of white lotuses at the Chule Palace in Wuhan Garden, where koi fish dart between the white blooms and green leaves, resembling a dynamic ink painting. The small red bridge surrounded by lotuses is also a perfect spot for photos. In the Northern Garden, yellow, pink, and red water lilies bloom alongside flowing water, with the waterside pavilion encircled by red lilies, exuding elegance and tranquility. While admiring the lotuses, you might also encounter blooming crape myrtles, their purple clusters adding a vibrant touch to the summer scenery. After enjoying the lotus flowers, we recommend staying at the Jinjiang Inn Select Xiamen Airport Jimei School Village. The hotel is adjacent to Jimei School Village, just about a 15-minute drive from the Horticultural Expo Garden. Its simple yet comfortable rooms will help you unwind after a day of exploration. The next day, you can visit the century-old architecture of Jimei School Village or head to Shigu Road to savor Southern Fujian delicacies like satay noodles and tucheng (worm jelly), rounding off your weekend with a blend of nature and culture. Tip: Be cautious of slippery edges near the pond and avoid muddy areas while admiring the lotuses. Safety first ensures you can fully enjoy capturing beautiful photos!
