The 22nd Macao Lotus Flower Festival, subtitled “The Scent of Lotus Perfumes the City of Macao”, is now being held near Taipa Houses. It runs until 19 June, and members of the public are welcome to visit and appreciate the beauty of the elegant blooms.

At the “Misty Lotus – Lotus flower exhibition area”, the beauty of the lotus flowers can be glimpsed through a watery mist, a mist that also adds a cooling effect to the current warm days that mark midsummer in the Chinese lunar calendar.
