Lotus is a treasure all over the body. Both lotus root and lotus seed can be eaten. Lotus leaf can be used as food such as poached chicken, and lotus seeds, rhizomes, lotus flowers and seeds can be used as medicine. Lotus not only has edible value, but also has intangible spiritual value in China. The noble character of lotus, which is "straight through the outside, not creeping, not stained with mud, and clear without demon", has been praised by the world and has been an important theme for poets and writers for thousands of years.

Summer is the time when the lotus is in full bloom, and it is a good time to enjoy the lotus. Where should Shenzhen people go to enjoy the lotus? As many people know, Honghu Park is the best place to go.

Honghu Park, located in Luohu District, Shenzhen, is a lake park with lotus as its theme and water activities as its feature. Lotus, water lilies and other aquatic flowers are widely planted in the park, with an area of more than 1 mu and more than 1 varieties. It is an important lotus landscape planting base in South China.

There is also a monument to the lotus in the park, which is the only monument to lotus poems in China. The whole stele gallery is 1 meters long and contains 85 calligraphy works by famous domestic artists. The stele gallery is hidden among the lotus flowers, providing a good place for tourists to enjoy, chant and read books.

Honghu Park is also a fixed place for holding the Lotus Show in Shenzhen every summer. It was held for the first time in 1988, and it has been 29 times this year. In summer, a hundred acres of lotus pond, with various varieties of lotus in full bloom, is a grand view, attracting a large number of people to come and enjoy the lotus photography. # I'm in Shenzhen #
