BEIJING, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tengzhou, a locality where springs abound 
in east China’s Shandong Province, saw its 23rd Weishan Lake red lotus wetland cultural
tourism season, also its 40th lotus exhibition, kick off on July 26 to attract lovers
of county-level tourism.

Crafting one of the optimal destinations for county tourism across China represented
what Tengzhou did in recent years to reshape its development strengths in cultural
tourism sector, noted Wang Guangbu, Party Chief of Tengzhou.

While leveraging its rich natural, cultural and historical resources, Tengzhou has
profoundly fostered all-for-one tourism and sharpened its public cultural tourism
brand that highlights its identity as a "land of goodness" and its deep cultural
bond with ancient Chinese philosopher Mozi, said Wang.

In the county-level city, visitors can always savor local cuisines, bask in the 
charm of local mountains and waters, and draw insightful inspirations from the ancient
Chinese civilization.

For instance, tourists from near and far may find it captivating to catch a glimpse
of the vast wild lotus fields in Weishan Lake red lotus wetland scenic area and 
to wander through local countryside to enjoy tranquility.

Talking "face to face" with Mozi in his memorial hall in Tengzhou, travelers can
also opt for inheriting the spirit of his scientific endeavors and immerse themselves
in the joys of whole-area study tours there.

During the event’s opening ceremony, recommendations by cultural tourism influencers,
the release of a promotional video and partnership agreements signed between two
cultural tourism groups from Tengzhou and Hubei Province added to the bustling vibe
of the tourism season.

Setting 12 sub-events, the 23rd China (Tengzhou) Weishan Lake red lotus wetland 
cultural tourism season brought together 80-plus lotus exhibitors from home and 
abroad to present more than 10,000 pots of pretty lotus flowers of over 800 varieties.
