The lotus flowers in Tongjian Lake are now in full bloom in white and pink with dragonflies hovering around. Thanks to the favorable environment, the lotus flowers have bloomed earlier than anticipated.

Trumpet creepers Every year in this season, this stunning flowery wall of an apartment building overflowing with Chinese trumpet creepers turns out to be a timely reminder of true love at ZhaNongKou. The flowers were planted by a Hangzhou resident over two decades ago for his wife, and they've since spread across the entire building wall.
