In the midst of summer, the lotus flowers in the fields of Guigang's Pingnan county, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, are in full bloom. 

The emerald leaves glisten, the white lotus flowers blossom proudly, and the pink lotus flowers exude a delightful fragrance. 

Walking along the intertwining paths where the lotus fields meet the rice paddies, visitors can almost hear echoes the words "Infinite green lotus leaves reaching towards the sky, the lotus flowers reflect a unique hue of red in the sunlight."
