Beauty can't be hidden even if you try to hide it. This is exactly the case for these lotus flowers that blooms in Ganghwa Island's Gogu Reservoir. This year, the lotus flowers were expected to be in full bloom in August. However, it was never an easy journey for the petals to bloom due to the weather in August.
You can enjoy the view of lotus flowers that fill the waterfront as you walking along the nicely installed deck. However, watch your steps as you walk while you fall in love with these beautiful lotus flowers. You can walk along the deck to get to the two-storey pavilion, and it's easy to find the Gogu Reservoir from afar.
The scenery of Ganghwa Island Gogu Reservoir from the pavilion makes you feel like the scene in fairy tale where a princess lives in this place. Let's take a moment to enjoy the dreamy yet beautiful scenery.
Many people worried that the unusual long rainy season would have washed all the lotus leaves away, but it can still be seen on the water. However, the lotus flowers that are weaker than lotus petals were falling earlier than expected. Even so, you can see bees and butterflies that attracted to the scent of flowers and play around them.
The Gogu Reservoir is also known as the sacred place for Grand Duke Jiang. There are many fishermen who spend their time alone here. The lotus, which grows in mud and is more beautiful than any other flowers, is also known as the flower that represents the paradise. Perhaps the Grand Duke Jiang was fishing for time in the western paradise. ^^
The travel style has changed since the outbreak of COVID-19. Some of you used to find more happening destinations, but now perhaps you prefer a quiet place where it is not crowded. If that is the case, Ganghwa Island Gogu Reservoir is the perfect place as it is a quiet place to enjoy. By just looking at the reservoir without doing anything special seems to help you in releasing stress.
Here is a picture of Nareu with the scenery of Ganghwa Island Gogu Reservoir in Summer as background! Will it bloom again next summer? If you can't visit Gogu Reservoir this summer, that is okay. Let's plan a trip together next Summer!
