Baiyun flower market celebrates Year of Dragon with spectacular displays
The main venue of Baiyun district's spring flower market, the Junhexu sub-venue, and various town-level venues opened on Feb 4. The flower market will last six days, making it the longest and largest in recent years within the district.
Walking along the central archway, the splendid and colorful butterfly orchids are eye-catching, as are peach blossoms, kumquats, begonias, and various other New Year flowers, all competing for attention.
This year, the flower market has a total of 328 stalls, including 37 stalls for kumquat potted flowers, 160 stalls for fresh flower crafts, 73 stalls for New Year goods, 44 charity stalls, and 14 brand cooperation areas, providing visitors with an immersive experience of "food, travel, shopping, and entertainment" along the flower street.
Targeting a large number of young people, the flower market has customized a 24-meter-long dragon-shaped aircraft. From Feb 4 to 9, the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" performance will take place at the main venue of Wanda Plaza at 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, and 20:00 every night.
At the Junhexu sub venue, there will be an interactive countdown for the naked-eye 3D "Descent of the Flying Dragon." At that time, the main and sub-venues will be linked, presenting a "flying dragon" light and shadow feast, with the dragons leaping and rotating in the night sky and on ancient walls.
