Xiuwen village's fragrant, blooming lotuses entice tourists

With the arrival of midsummer, lotuses are now in full bloom in Shilin village, in the Dashi Bouyei township of Xiuwen county. That's administered by the city of Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province and the peerless flowers offer tourists enchanting views. The flowering period for lotuses is generally from June to September – so now is the prime time to appreciate the delicate, vibrantly colored and long-lasting flowers. [Photo/Guiyang news network]
