2023-07-12

The lotus flower, emerging from the muddy waters yet untainted, and bathing in the clear pond without losing its elegance, possesses a noble character and ethereal temperament. The sight of the lotus blossoming in a pair is even more rare and extraordinary. Known as the "gentleman among flowers," the twin lotus is considered the finest among all lotus species, symbolizing a harmonious union and everlasting love. With a single stem and two blossoms, the twin lotus represents unity, shared roots, shared blessings, and shared existence. In ancient literary works, the twin lotus is praised as a symbol of love, representing a harmonious and blissful marriage and the intertwining of romantic love between a man and a woman, as well as deep brotherly affection. According to folklore, the appearance of the twin lotus is an auspicious sign.

This year, there have been 5 twin lotuses spotted in the Yuanmingyuan Park, and 10 twin lotuses discovered in the Lianhuachi Park, delighting visitors with their beauty. The responsible person from the Lotus Flower Class in Lianhua Chi Park introduced that the park covers a total area of 44.61 hectares, with a water surface area of 13 hectares. There are 6 major lotus areas in the park, and the lotus flowers in each area have entered their blooming season. In addition to the lotus areas, the park showcases potted lotus flowers in the East Square, West Square, North Square, as well as at the entrances of the East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate.
