There is no better time to see the red lotuses other than in the morning from 6 am to 12 noon where the flowers are in full bloom. Boats can be hired to get a closer look of the red lotuses and take pleasure taking photos of the natural creations of both plants and animals of different varieties thriving harmoniously at the lake.
