Recently, the 2011 Shiqi Leisure Culture Festival was held to commemorate the 1911 Revolution. The festival features a lotus exhibition in Shiqi Central Park. Zhongshan Hongtai and Zhongshan Lotus, the two species that only Zhongshan boasts of and have been settling here for more than 100 years, are in full bloom and proudly displaying their beauty against a serene summer sky.
Hybrid of Zhongshan Hongtai and Zhongshan Lotus. The lotus is standing around the lotus leaves like a slim and graceful fairy.
Zhongshan Lotus: quietly elegant with snow-white pure dress is showing off her charm as a model with cool beauty.
Zhongshan Hongtai: delicately charming with unreined brightness.
Budding lotus watching afar in shyness.
A harmonious picture of fish, lotus and water: The fish enjoy playing in the lotus pond full of the reflection of lotus leaf, which brings us a sense of wandering in an attractive picture as fishes are swimming in the scenery water.
Beauty contest: The winner is giggling among the lotus leaves.
The self-pity lotus is hugging itself sadly.
