"Let us swing our oars, and the boat pushes away the waves..." This is exactly what is described in the familiar song. Beihai is located on the northwest side of the Forbidden City, and together with "Zhonghai" and "South China Sea", it is called the Three Seas. The park used to be a royal garden, with pavilions and terraces in the garden, lush forests by the lake, and beautiful scenery.
Beihai has a long history of cultivating lotus, which has been inherited and developed to this day. Beihai Park currently has more than 100 varieties of lotus, and more than 1,200 pots of lotus and various aquatic plants are maintained annually. From June to August, in the morning, in the middle of the night, and in the evening, the lotus catches up with each other and competes to open.
