The lotus flowers in Taoranting Park will gradually enter their full bloom period in late June. The front of the "Wind and Rain Together" monument pavilion, next to the imitated Chuitai Pavilion of Yangzhou's Slender Xihaizi, and in front of the Jinyue Pavilion at the north gate of the Huaxia Mingting Garden, are all great places to appreciate the lotus flowers. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the green leaves and exquisite flowers sway, creating a delightful sight. Sitting by the bank, the gentle breeze carries the fresh fragrance of lotus, bringing a sense of tranquility and joy.

Unlike other parks with lotus ponds, here, surrounded by white-walled and grey-tiled pavilions, against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, it presents an ancient and picturesque scenery, as if it were a scene from a grand courtyard in a Jiangnan garden.

Several lotus ponds echo each other, and the lotus flowers sway in their pink attire, resembling dancing maidens. Along the lotus pond, photographers can be seen everywhere with their cameras and long lenses. Many people come early in the morning every day to capture the best angles and wait for the perfect lighting to photograph the lotus flowers. The beauty of the lotus is truly mesmerizing, and one can stand and admire it all day without feeling tired. Besides the elderly, children also enjoy this lotus pond, gathering around to take photos and play. Parents hold up their phones and cameras to capture their children's laughter against the backdrop of the beautiful lotus pond.

After enjoying the lotus flowers, one can also take a boat ride on the lake within the park, which is a very pleasant experience. Taoranting Park has two piers, one in the east and one in the west, primarily offering electric boat rides. Visitors can enjoy their time on the boat by simply steering the wheel and taking in the scenery.
