This summer was really hot—not just in Hong Kong, but South Korea also broke its local heat records. In early July, the girl could only walk around eating lots of cold treats, which ended up making her gain a bit of weight on the trip : (
Speaking of the last day of the trip, because the weather was too hot and they didn’t want to rush, the girl and her best friend headed to Samnak Riverside Park, which is closer to the city area. But this last-minute addition turned out to be a lovely surprise, giving us enough material to take photos for the whole morning : )
Samnak Riverside Park is located in Sasang District, and it’s very convenient to get there from Sasang Station or Gwapha Station. It’s especially famous for its cherry blossom path in spring, where there aren’t too many tourists, so you can enjoy the flowers at ease. Unexpectedly, in the summer, it was also covered with wildflowers, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance.
Even more surprisingly, there are several large lotus ponds here—it was pure bliss : )
The girl loves taking photos of lotuses and admires their various forms of beauty. But this was her first time using an 18-135 travel lens to shoot lotuses. Fortunately, the flowers were within arm’s reach—otherwise, she would have been grumbling again about why her telephoto lens wasn’t in her backpack : p
On the way back, passing by the other side of the wildflower grove, they even spotted the unique light rail train under the elevated tracks—so healing ^^
