The lotus flowers here 'gently tap' you, bringing a cool summer, 'lotus' you to a date

This year, the lotus flowers in Qingdao Botanical Garden bloomed earlier than other places, and the flowers are also bigger. The emerging lotus flowers are incredibly delicate. Just looking at them is enough to delight the eyes. The lotus pond is shimmering with ripples, and the lotus flowers, along with their long roots and stems, sway in the wind, adding a touch of coolness to the summer time. Trees line both sides of the flower pond, providing shade. Sitting on a bench and watching the lotus flowers, one can harvest a unique kind of comfort.
