On July 1, the 5th Dongjiang Lake Liuhuawan Lotus Festival, with the theme of "Returning to Lotus, Meeting with Liuhua", opened in Liuhuawan Village, Sandu Town, Zixing City.

It was known that Liuhuwan Village is a traditional ancient village with a history of more than 600 years. At present, there are more than 400 well-preserved ancient dwellings in southern Hunan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Ms. Chen from Hong Kong and her friends took their children to enjoy the lotus by the earliest high-speed railway this morning. She couldn't restrain her excitement and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a large lotus blossom. It's very beautiful. It's totally different from the scenery of Hong Kong. Once I get here, I'm deeply in love with the beautiful scenery here, and I'll come back when I have the chance."
