field of lotus DSC_9597

Rural landscape in Guangxi, southern China, near the Lin River.

The image captures a wide field of lotus plants in the foreground, framed by the iconic karst mountains of the region. These dramatic limestone formations, shaped over millennia by erosion, are a defining feature of the local topography.

 

The low, cloudy sky evokes the humid, subtropical climate typical of Guangxi.

This type of scenery is deeply embedded in Chinese visual culture, frequently appearing in classical painting and poetry.

The photo reflects a strong connection between the natural environment, local agricultural practices, and intangible cultural heritage.
