Lianzhou Ferry is located north of the Minnan mountains, built right against the river and sea. Its long pavilions and wooden balustrades wind like a sleeping serpent, stretching beyond the limit of sight.
The peace and quiet that once belonged to this place had completely vanished. The sharp whistle of wind tearing through the air constantly echoed in the sky, and several violent gusts plunged into the ponds, making lotus leaves laden with dewdrops tremble until they shone like pearls, while pure lotus blossoms clustered together to bloom in shades of white and pink.
True to its name, lotuses blossomed here all four seasons of the year, and it also served as the ferry port leading to the Floating Slaughter Heaven.
