Flower market is a hotspot in Shanghai this year, with homemade flowers
winning most people's favor instead of imported species.


It is learned that the homemade flowers, mainly from Yunnan, Shandong,
Taiwan, and Hongkong, have taken up 80 percent of the market, with the
quality improved greatly and the prices much lower than imported ones.

As the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) is drawing near, Lanling Flower
Market, the largest in Shanghai, witnesses hustle and bustle everyday,
and it promises to provide at least 500 varieties of flowers during the
Spring Festival holidays and up to 300,000 pieces a day.

Related salespersons said the prices will be stable, but will rise
inevitably on Valentine's Day and the Spring Festival.
