Around Changsha! Here lies the 'lotus leaves are so lush' from ancient poems

🏞✨Hidden in the small Jiangnan around Changsha, I found the real-life version of the ancient poem 'In Jiangnan, one can pick lotus, the lotus leaves are so lush' in Ningxiang. 🌠✨In the height of summer, it is the best time to enjoy the lotus. On the lake in Daolin Ancient Town, Ningxiang, the lush lotus leaves have already formed a continuous stretch, turning the lake into a green ocean. Pink lotuses dot the scene, exuding a sense of calm and freshness, making it the most beautiful color palette of a refreshing summer. 🥗✨The blooming lotuses bring a refreshing breeze. Walking on the floating bridge boardwalk in Daolin Ancient Town, no matter where you look, it's all green. The large round leaves stretch out freely. As the summer breeze blows, the lotuses sway with the wind, emitting a faint fragrance that fills the air and intoxicates people. This sense of ease and leisure is enough to move anyone. 🛕✨The ancient town not only has an enchanting lotus pond but also serves as a historical hub with a thousand-year history. Although the old buildings that have witnessed centuries of vicissitudes are no longer visible, the reconstructed ancient-style architecture is quite charming. The yellow walls, green tiles, flying eaves, and hanging bells, this typical ancient Hunan residential style, make people feel a sense of heaviness and simplicity of the old times. 🚃✨Take the retro small train that shuttles between the ancient towns, and try to chase an everlasting sunset. As the train slowly passes through the jungle and villages, the crisscrossing paths are nature's most beautiful gift.
