“A stretch of sky, tens of thousands of lotus blooms, koi leaping. An ecological vibe, green zero, dreams among flowers.” Currently, Lotus Water Town not only features eight major lotus lakes, a dynamic lotus sculpture – Prosperity Lotus, seasonal flower seas, Dream Grass Sculpture Garden, beach playground, Jinjin Harvest Garden, Tao Yi Garden, Love Wall, and Time Capsule Mailbox as themed landscapes, but also offers supporting facilities such as the Dudu Food Street primarily serving buffet meals and a large parking lot. In addition, a variety of recreational activities including water bikes, children’s bumper boats, remote-controlled boats, intelligent balance bikes, and fun ride cars comprehensively meet visitors' needs. The first-phase park has now become a microfilm shooting base for CCTV, as well as an industry-academia-research base for South China Agricultural University and Foshan University of Science and Technology.
