No one can leave Kunming empty-handed

As the largest flower market in Asia and a AAA-rated scenic spot, I really recommend all flower lovers to take a stroll in the Dounan Flower Market!! Without further ado, let's get straight to the point! Transportation: Just take the Subway Line 4 to Jingui Street Station (Exit B) The subway is very convenient, just a 300-meter walk from the exit! Attention!!! For navigation search: Dounan Flower Wholesale Supermarket or Jingui Street Subway Station (exit from Exit B) Do not directly search for Dounan Flower Market in the navigation, otherwise, you will have to walk nearly 1KM from Dounan Subway Station Visiting the flower market at night, the flowers are fresh and of good quality, mainly for wholesale, but you can also buy single items. During the day, there are more varieties of flowers, cheaper, but the quality is not so good. You can choose according to your needs. I think it's quite fun for individual visitors to check in other places in the morning and take a tour of the Dounan Flower Market in the afternoon. If you're tired of walking, you can also go to the nearby food street to buy some snacks. Dounan Flower Market: The first floor of the flower market is basically fresh flowers, the second floor is succulents, and the third floor is a bit like the Yiwu small commodity market, which feels newly opened and is not as lively as the two floors below, so you don't need to go up Food Street Navigation: Flower Street Flower Champion, a street full of food and snacks Tips for beginners in choosing flowers: 1. The best time to visit the flower market is after 6 pm or just wait for the night market starting at 8:40 pm, which is the time for face-to-face transactions of fresh cut flowers, with the most variety and the liveliest atmosphere. 2. When choosing fresh flowers, look at whether the root is fresh, do not buy if it's not; check if the flower head is drooping, do not buy if it is; shake the flower head downwards to see if petals fall off, do not buy if many petals fall off, indicating that the flower is not fresh. 3. The prices shouted for fresh flowers vary a lot, so the first step when you arrive at the Dounan Flower Market is to stroll around and look first, do not buy immediately as soon as you enter, as it's also tiring to carry them around. I suggest you take a tour first to get an idea of the market price, so you won't have regrets.
