Guide to viewing the Red Lotus Lake in Udon Thani

The Red Lotus Lake is open as soon as winter arrives. This Honglian Lake, known as the second wonder in the world, is simply shocking.

The red lotus flowers bloom one after another on the lake, very lush. The endless lake is covered with pink lotus flowers, as if the sunset from the horizon has fallen here.
