the traditional winter jasmine market
the annual "walking around the flower street for the Universiade" is an eternal tradition of the old Guangzhou people. This Spring Festival Carnival, which has lasted for more than 2 years, has long been famous all over the world and has become a unique folk landscape in China. The opening time of the traditional flower market is three days before New Year's Eve. Each district in Guangzhou will have its own large-scale winter jasmine market, and Shili Long Street is full of flowers and crowds. Visiting the flower market is divided into day and night. During the day, the light is good and you can enjoy the flowers. At night, you can be lively and feel the atmosphere. Radish and vegetables have their own tastes, and everyone chooses the well-intentioned New Year flowers with great interest.

I usually go to the "Yuexiu West Lake Flower Market" on Beijing Road. It is located in the city center and is the oldest, most famous and most lively flower market in Guangzhou. It is very convenient to buy something, have a meal and watch a movie after visiting the flower street.

New Year's essential annual flowers
Guangfu New Year's essential three classic annual flowers: kumquat, peach blossom and narcissus.
among many new year flowers, kumquat is the first one. In Cantonese, "orange" and "auspicious" are homonyms, symbolizing "good luck", and it is round and plump, golden and fruitful, which is very popular. Every household will buy a pot and take good luck home.
kumquat
"A tree is full of peach blossoms". In Cantonese, "hearts" and "grand plans" are homonyms. The original intention of buying peach blossoms is to "make great plans". Peach blossom, like the Christmas tree, has become an indispensable annual flower for the old people. Many unmarried people also like to carry a peach blossom home and wait for a good "peach blossom luck" in the coming year.

daffodils are "elegant guests" among flowers, also known as "golden lamps and silver platforms", which make people feel warm and full of spring in the cold winter months. Represents reunion and good luck. Naturally, people are also happy to celebrate the New Year.

In addition to buying flowers, there are many exquisite handicrafts in the flower market. Buy a transshipment windmill, the bigger the better, which means that the New Year is flourishing.
There is also the Giant Buddha Temple next to the flower market. Go in and worship for a smooth new year.

On the new central axis of Guangzhou, the flower city square Guang Zhouta landscape group consisting of Xiaomanyao Guang Zhouta, Haixinsha Asian Games opening site, 18-story Guangzhou West Tower, Guangzhou Opera House and Guangdong Provincial Museum is a new landmark scenic spot in Guangzhou. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng every day, watch the neon shadows of the Pearl River at night, and feel the enchanting night of Huacheng Yaodu during the Lantern Festival.

flower city square is on the north bank of the Pearl River, and Xiaoman Waist is on the south bank of the Pearl River. Although it is separated by water, everyone feels that it is a natural and mutually reinforcing whole. The slim waist in one hand is like a needle, standing at the intersection of the new central axis of Guangzhou city and the central axis of Pearl River landscape, with a total height of 6 meters, enjoying the status of the highest tourist tower in China and the third highest in the world.
The laser show starts at 7: 3 every night and will be performed every half hour on the hour. Accompanied by authentic Cantonese music, bundles of colorful lasers transform and cross out multi-level lines and shapes, and the small waists also show off colorful colors. From time to time, subtitles and patterns roll out the latest messages and greetings, and of course, advertisements are inserted. The brilliance reflected by the laser makes the citizens who come to watch in an endless stream full of joy and happiness.

To the north of the square, the West Tower is also gorgeous with its crystal body, and enjoys the core position of the CBD financial district of Pearl River New Town. If you are in Guangzhou this Spring Festival, it is strongly recommended to take a walk in flower city square at night and feel the visual feast brought by Guang Zhouta during the festival. When Xiaoman Yao dazzles with laser dance, the most beautiful night scene in Guangzhou is here!

Yuexiu Lantern Festival in Yuexiu Park
Flower City Guangzhou is a more beautiful city, especially in the Spring Festival. Two classic places are simultaneously interpreting the gorgeous chapters of Guangzhou Night: one is Xiaoman Waist, a landmark building on the new central axis of Guangzhou, which dazzles with colorful laser dances every night and transmits new business cards of the fashionable and dynamic capital to the whole world; The other is Yuexiu Park, the center of Guangzhou's old central axis, which holds the traditional Spring Festival Lantern Festival year after year, as always, warming the old people's deep nostalgia!
I went to the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Monkey, and the theme of the natural Lantern Festival was entrusted to the Monkey King, and the wonderful story of The Journey to the West was reproduced, which is very suitable for taking children to relive myths and classics.

The whole tour takes about two hours. After dinner, come and enjoy the lanterns. It is really a good place for Chinese New Year. Or spend a day in Yuexiu Park, enjoy the flowers during the day and the lights at night, and enjoy the most central landmark in the old city, which provides a visual feast for everyone every year.
Yuexiu Park has two classic scenic spots in Guangzhou that should not be missed: the statue of Wuyang and the five-story building.

Lai Chi Wan Chung Water Flower Market
To say that the most authentic place to taste Guangfu culture, I will first recommend Lai Chi Wan Chung, which is located in the hinterland of Xiguan, separated from Liwan Lake Park by a bridge, and is a place where many celebrities and famous gardens are gathered, such as xiguan big house, Miss Xiguan, Xiguan Five Treasures, Xiguan Cuisine, Cantonese Opera and Quyi.
