Chunhua town in Changsha county opened a lotus festival on July 16, following in the footsteps of its brother town Kaihui, where a similar festival opened a few days earlier.
Roaming around the Qunyi lotus pond in Huayuan New village enjoying its fragrance, viewing the magnificent Chunhua Aqueduct, picking grapes, catching crayfish and loaches, and appreciating photography exhibitions highlighting impressions of Chunhua, tourists can savor a tranquil and mellow summer along with natural edification.

Chunhua town was named a "hot destination for self-driving tours" in Changsha for its idyllic landscape.
