A pond of water lily blossoms is injecting a vibrant breath of color to the autumnal beauty at the China National Botanical Garden in Beijing. Covering an area of 1.5 hectares, the water lily park in China's largest botanical garden is home to nearly a hundred species of water lilies, including some introduced from abroad. The blossoms have added a riot of color to the garden, presenting visitors with the Chinese answer to Monet's garden during the National Day holiday.
