As the summer approaches, hundreds of precious water lilies in Chenshan Botanical Garden are entering their best viewing period.

Chenshan Botanical Garden boasts rich water plant resources, including over a hundred water lily species, many of which are precious – for example the international champion "Wan Weisha", the most tropical species "Purple" and the "Egyptian white water lily" which opens at night.

Another highlight in the water plants park is more than 600 rare species of lotus from both home and abroad. It is reported that this year the planted water lilies and lotus cover an area of about 20,000 square meters.
