Citywalk | Xindu Sheng'an Guihu Lake—The Ultimate Lotus Viewing Spot in Chengdu

| Xindu Sheng'an Guihu Lake—The Ultimate Lotus Viewing Spot in Chengdu. "Endless lotus leaves stretch to the sky, blooming flowers glow uniquely red under the sun." A weekend trip to Xindu Guihu Lake left me utterly healed by the fragrance of lotus blossoms filling the pond!

In the height of summer this July, the lotuses at Xindu Guihu Lake are in full bloom. The exclusive Guihu Red Lotus here, with its lush leaves stretching endlessly, creates a breathtaking view. "A single red lotus blooms with timeless beauty"—this perfectly captures its unique charm. Take time to visit while the lotuses are at their peak!

Old Guihu Lake: This was a filming location for the 1987 TV series *Dream of the Red Chamber*. Stepping inside, you’ll encounter ancient city walls, the Yang Sheng'an Memorial Hall, Han Dynasty tombs, stone tablet forests, and museums. Expansive lotus ponds suddenly fill your vision, dotted with pink blooms that complement the pavilions, towers, and trees like Chinese tallow and camphor. Every step offers a new scene, as if you’ve traveled back in time.

New Guihu Lake: Free to enter, this area features open waters. Classic pavilions and towers stand above the lotus-filled lake, brimming with lively energy. You’ll see aunties dancing, uncles playing chess, kids feeding fish, and couples boating. The lakeside scenery is picturesque, perfect for a leisurely stroll.

⏰ Blooming Season: Mid-June to mid-July is the best viewing period—now is the perfect time to see the lotuses in full glory.
📍 Address: Baoguang Guihu Cultural Tourism Zone, No. 109 Guihu Middle Road, Xindu District
🚇 Transportation: Direct access via Metro Line 3, stop at Zhonglou Station or Machao West Road Station

With the sun shining bright and a gentle breeze, come to Xindu Guihu Lake for a romantic date with the lotuses! 🌸
