Lotus flowers are now at their peak at Guyi Garden in Jiading district, Shanghai, during the 13th Shanghai Lotus and Water Lily Exhibition.

The exhibition features more than 500 lotus varieties and over 110 water lily varieties. Around 1,800 potted lotus plants and 320 water lilies are on display throughout the garden, including several new award-winning lotus varieties from national competitions.

Mornings are the best time to visit. The flowers are fully open, temperatures are cooler, and the soft light makes it ideal for photography.

The main lawn features premium lotus varieties, while the Bonsai Garden showcases miniature bowl lotuses. Visitors can also see tropical, hardy, and rare water lilies decorating ponds throughout the historic garden.

It also includes cultural activities, guided garden tours, and traditional Chinese-style experiences.

Garden staff encourage visitors to enjoy the flowers responsibly by refraining from picking blooms or entering planted areas. With the lotus flowers now in full bloom, it is an ideal time to experience the charm of a Shanghai summer.
