Tuanhu Lotus Park
团湖
A wild lotus viewing area in a lake-within-a-lake spanning 5,000 mu in Junshan District. In midsummer, lotus fields stretch to the horizon, and visitors can ride small boats into the lotus ponds to pick lotus seed pods.
Tuanhu Lotus Park, also known as the Junshan Wild Lotus World, lies in Junshan District of Yueyang. It formed in 1998 as a lake-within-a-lake, with about 5,000 mu of wild lotus, and is said to be the largest wild lotus viewing area in Asia. It was once certified by Guinness World Records. In midsummer, lotus leaves cover the water and blossoms spread in unbroken fields. The park has boardwalks, an observation tower and a lotus corridor. You can ride a small boat deep into the lotus ponds and taste fresh lotus seed pods on site. Opening hours are around 08:00 to 17:30. Outside the flowering season, the scenery is fairly plain. The park is about 35 km from Yueyang city centre, so you will need to drive or hire a car. It can be combined with Junshan Island on the same day. Summer sun is strong, so go early in the morning and bring sun protection.
