The experience

What to expect

Follow the journey from lotus cultivation and stem-fibre extraction to spinning, weaving and finished sustainable textiles. Choose a short guided Discovery visit, a lake excursion, or a longer artisan program with hands-on activities such as lotus-fibre spinning, seed-bracelet making, lotus paper, natural silk eco-printing and incense making.

The farm is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The 30-minute Discovery visit costs US$6 per adult and includes a guided tour and lotus tea; longer programs range from US$15 to US$75. Children’s prices and inclusions vary by package. A free reserved pickup runs from Maison Lotus at selected half-hour times, and a US$12 lotus-based set lunch is available for most packages.
