Step into Lotus Marsh and you'll feel like walking through a living watercolor painting! This hidden summer oasis in Shanghai boasts hundreds of acres of lotus ponds that bloom spectacularly from June to August. Glide on traditional wooden boats through pink-and-white flower carpets, where dragonflies skim the water's surface. Don't miss photographing the misty lotus field at dawn—when sunlight filters through the haze, it's pure magic. Cap off your visit with fresh lotus seed pudding at nearby farmhouses for an authentically sweet finale!
