Guangzhou is called the Flower City because of the grand annual Spring Flower Market in Guangzhou. A few days before the Spring Festival, every district in Guangzhou will have a Spring Flower Market, which is very lively with colorful flowers and crowded voices.

The biggest difference from previous years is that there is no flower market archway that everyone is accustomed to, and a giant "double flower basket" is innovatively used instead.
