In the early morning at Mochou Lake, summer lotus and lotus roots meet, and birds sing joyfully

In the early morning, in Nanjing's Mochou Lake Park, countless swallows and white-headed wagtails fly low and circle around. Along with the croaking of numerous frogs and the playful antics of cormorants and wild ducks, it seems like a beautiful and moving animal symphony is being performed. In midsummer, the fragrance of lotuses fills the air. It is said that Mochou Lake Park has thousands of varieties and 300,000 lotus flowers blooming in competition. Each lotus flower is like a meticulously crafted artwork. Some are in bud, shyly hiding among the leaves; others are fully open, with petals spread out, revealing tender yellow lotus pods. Above these blooming lotuses, birds gracefully circle, sometimes flying low over the lotus leaves, sometimes weaving among the lotus flowers, their elegant postures dancing gracefully. Mochou Lake Park, in this midsummer season, with its unique charm, has become a rare summer resort in the city, deeply experiencing the endless charm and harmonious beauty bestowed by nature.
