CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- About summer solstice

It is a different kind of red of the lotus

It is the sound of frogs, drums and cicadas in the forest

It is a poetic time when everything is flourishing

When traditional Chinese colors meet the mountain city in summer solstice

How will it tug at your heartstrings?
