Flower Market
Plants and flowers are often exchanged during Chinese New Year to express
good wishes, and a large Chinese Flower Market will inspire and enchant the
celebration with a beautiful array of traditional and contemporary flora.
The flower market will start three days before the Spring Festival. The New
Year's Eve is the climax of flower market, when huge crowds of people will surge
to the street. Most of the family will go to visit the flower market after the
reunion New Year Eve dinner and the market will be crowded with buyers until
after mid-night.
Whether it is a 'money' tree, cherry blossoms, or sweet olive plumes, plants
and flowers signify the blossoming of the New Year. This is an area of strong
visual impact and cultural significance for the market visitors. In the market,
there will be traditional Chinese performances, face painters, painting and
calligraphers.
