[InKunming--Kunming] July is the best time to admire lotus in Kunming’s Cuihu Park. Over 20 varieties of lotus are distributed in the pond everywhere and some of them bud while others wither. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

Lotus flowers bloom from mid-June and will last until August. The petals are transparent and bright in the sun. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

Cuihu in the rain is like an ink painting. Visitors can take a boat on the lake and enjoy the coolness in the summer. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

After a heavy rain, the lotus is covered with raindrops. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

Some lotus are knocked by the rain, showing another kind of beauty. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

There are also some buds under the lotus leaves, waiting for blooming. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]

Cuihu Park has a good ecological environment with plants and wild animals, becoming the best place for citizens to visit and spend leisure time. [Su Wenqian/InKunming]
