In early autumn, strolling along the Shadi Village, located in the Jincheng Sub-district, one can see vast lotus ponds with blooming lotus flowers in succession. The white lotus flowers resemble jade, while the pink lotus flowers appear like rosy clouds. The lotus leaves fill the pool with lush green, harmoniously enhancing the scenic view of the distant Dianchi Lake and creating a charming landscape painting, like the poem saying, "The lotus leaves reach up to the sky, endless in their emerald green, while the lotus flowers reflect the sunlight, appearing uniquely red."

When appreciating the flowers, you can walk on the plank road to enjoy the view from afar or get closer for a detailed observation. Let your thoughts wander among the fields of lotus leaves and immerse your emotions in the delicate pink petals.

Shadi Village is located on the eastern shore of Dianchi Lake. In recent years, with the continuous progress of Dianchi Lake protection efforts, the villagers of Shadi Village have transitioned from cultivating rice to growing greenhouse vegetables and flowers in the past. Now, they have further dismantled the greenhouses and returned to traditional agriculture, constructing a beautiful countryside with the concept of ecological agriculture. While protecting Dianchi Lake, they have also explored a path of development unique to Shadi Village.
