The West Lake scenic area of eastern China's Hangzhou city is among the nation's best tourism sites to view lotus flowers, together with Daming Lake in Jinan city, Shandong province, and the exquisite gardens in Suzhou city, Jiangsu province. The austere beauty of the lotus flower has been depicted in numerous Chinese poems and landscape paintings. West Lake always buzzes with tourists and citizens each year between June and September when the lotus flowers planted in the lake are in full bloom.
