The Macao Lotus Flower Festival, falling every year in summer, showcases the beautiful perennial aquatic plant found far and wide throughout China.
澳門每年夏天都舉辦荷花節，荷花為澳門繁華的城市生活帶來優美的點綴。
Every year, the festival highlights a particular lotus flower species, which admirers can see at the Taipa Houses-Museum and in the Suzhou-inspired Lou Lim Ieoc Garden among other places.
每屆荷花節的主要展覽場地包括盧廉若公園及氹仔龍環葡韻等，荷塘景色清幽雅致。
Potted lotuses can also be found in major parks, on many streets and in popular sightseeing spots around Macao, a colourful and enchanting reminder of the centrepiece the lotus plays in the design of the Macao SAR flag.
此外，部分廣場及主要旅遊名勝均擺設荷花盆栽，令全城荷香飄逸，景點更賞心悅目。澳門素有蓮花寶地之稱，與荷花的淵源深厚，荷花更是組成澳門區旗及區徽的主要元素。
Seasonal lotus-themed cuisine also makes a tasty appearance in some local Chinese restaurants!
本地一些中式酒家亦趁荷花盛開的季節推出荷花宴，以清新食材炮製荷香美食。
