Among a plethora of lotus flower viewing spots in Beijing, I would like to recommend Longtan Lake Park. “Longtan” literally means “Dragon Pool”, which refers to the three lakes in the park \u2013 the East Lake, the Mid Lake and the West Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longtan Lake Park may be not that famous as Beihai Park<\/strong><\/a> and Jingshan Park<\/strong><\/a>, but it is a peaceful and non-tourist place with all the classical elements of a Chinese park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features rock gardens, dragon boats, moon bridges, elegantly decorated corridors, gorgeous Chinese architectures and beautiful landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, local residents ( most of them are retirees), not discouraged by the pandemic, now largely in control, swarm to Longtan Lake Park as usual, of course with face masks as a precaution, seeing, pictures taking and chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
