Century Park is picturesque throughout the year, with flowers blooming in succession during the summer. June to September is the best time to appreciate lotuses in Century Park. Living nearby, I almost go to the park every morning and after dinner to see how many lotuses have bloomed today~ Each visit makes me realize that many blooming lotuses have been stolen early in the morning by some with bad behavior. How infuriating! ✍🏻｜Recommended Seasonal Attraction｜ 🪷This year, the best spot to view lotuses in Century Park is at the Montreal Garden near Gate 6. The star of June's summer days - the lotus - is eager to make its appearance, and the lotus pond inside the park is already a refreshing and tenderly pink beautiful sight. Covering nearly 4000 square meters, the lotuses are blooming one after another, tender and delicate, bringing joy to the heart! 🪷Standing on the Wind Lotus Bridge and looking out, you can see an endless stretch of lotus leaves reaching for the sky. Looking across the clear blue water, you'll see large, serene lotuses, white, pink, light yellow... This year, there are even more pink lotuses, so pure and tranquil that they truly embody the phrase 'Out of the mud but not stained, cleansing oneself in clear ripples without being flirtatious.' 🪷Daytime lotuses and evening lotuses are two completely different scenes, each with its own characteristics, and both are worth admiring! ✍🏻Let's learn a bit about the difference between day and night lotuses: Question: Why do lotuses close at night and open in the morning? Answer: Lotuses close at night and open in the morning due to the influence of light. They will fully bloom in a well-lit environment. Lotuses generally start to bloom around 4:00-5:00 am, and after being exposed to light and performing photosynthesis, accumulating sufficient nutrients, they begin to unfold their petals. The best time to view them is between 6:00-8:00 am when the light is more abundant, which can cause the lotus petals to fully bloom and stretch out. Around 5:00 pm, as the sun sets and the light diminishes, the temperature drops, and the lotuses will slowly close their petals. 📌Little Tips: The above photos were taken during the following time periods: early morning + evening around 6 pm
