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. Here, kumquats, peach blossoms, and daffodils are must-buy flowers, which have very good meanings and can bring wealth, blessings, and good luck to the family. The Liwan Road Spring Flower Market is the main flower market in Liwan District. In addition, there is a very distinctive water flower market in Litchi Bay not far away, which can be visited together. This year's Liwan Flower Market is themed "Liwan Reflects the Bay Area and Flowers Bloom in All Things". 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.
