Visitors admire and take photos of lotus flowers at Honghu Park in Luohu District recently. Lotus flowers have entered their blooming season. Due to the city’s recent spate of heavy rains, this year’s lotus flowers are not as abundant as previous years, but its flowering period is expected to continue until mid-July. Citizens are also advised to stagger their travel to the park, as a cap of 9,000 visitors will be imposed.
