Panmen Scenic Area 🌺

We arrived at Panmen Scenic Area on a hot summer afternoon, the stone walls of the ancient city gate radiating warmth under the bright sun 🌞🏯🛶. The water in the moat moved slow and dark, shaded by willows that hung heavy with green. Cicadas buzzed loud and constant, their song weaving through the stillness like a reminder of the heat 🌿🎶🪷. We walked the garden paths, where the air was thick with the scent of lotus blooms and damp earth 🌸🍃💧. The old pavilions offered pockets of shade, and the Wumen Bridge arched quietly over the canal, its stones worn and cool underfoot. By the time evening approached, the light softened, and a breeze stirred the water just enough to ripple the reflections. In summer, Panmen felt timeless a meeting of stone, water, and history, holding steady in the haze of the season 🕰️🚶♂️🌇. #summervacay #thingstodo #travel
