Shui Mu Qing Hua is a well-known landmark in Tsinghua. Zhu Ziqing, a celebrated litterateur who once lived on the Tsinghua campus, wrote beautiful prose to complement this refreshing scenery.
There is a bridge called “Lotus Bridge”, just right above the lotus pond. The bridge and the booming lotuses cast delightful reflections on each other, composing a harmonious nature.
While most people admire lotus flowers, their leaves also serve as a composition of the scenery. The unfolding leaves scattered randomly in mixed sizes, adding life to the pond. The dew rolls back and forth on the leaves, shining like pearls in the light.
Harmonious association of activity and inertia
Lotuses and leaves make the pond a natural summer resort for ducks. They shuttle back and forth in the green lotus forest, enjoying the fragrance and shadow.
Everyone studying in Tsinghua should learn to swim as Tsinghua ducks do!
The green scenery brings some kind of freshness and coolness.
Grasp this colorful summer and appreciate the beauty of the lotus pond! And you will be truly fascinated by this sweet fairyland.
