Do you remember the amazing sea of rape flowers near the Tongjian Lake this spring? Located in Shuangpu Town, Xihu District, now the land by the Tongjian Lake has been filled with a profusion of Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly known as the garden cosmos. One-third of the flowers are in full bloom, and people keep coming for cycling, jogging, and taking photos.

Here a glance at beautiful scenes of garden cosmos taken at the newly built Tongjian Lake Garden.

Tongjian Lake is formerly known as “Mingsheng Lake” in Local Chronicles of Qiantang written by Liu Daozhen who was the magistrate at Qiantang in A.D. 436.

You can drive towards Tongjianhu village committee or take bus No 109, 109B, or 434 and get off at North Yunquan stop to find the flower fields.
