Travel Notes | Dounan Flower Market

I went to Dounan Flower Market a few days ago and brought back a bouquet of sunflowers.

(Also, all updates that are not formatted well are done by me typing on my mobile phone, please forgive me)

Dounan Station of Line 1 is a bit far from the flower market. Correctly, you should take Line 4 to Jingui Street Station. Behind Exit B is the Dounan Flower Market. I learned this from a report before.

The Amap navigation indicated that the business hours are until 17:00. We arrived in a hurry after 17:00. Sea World and the like were already closed, and most of the stalls were also being cleared.

The first floor is an area for fresh cut flowers and potted plants. There is also a small area for selling flower seedlings, flower seeds, and flower fertilizers. All kinds of flowers and leaves are piled in piles. There is no extra decoration and layout of a flower shop or the matching and packaging of a florist. Charm, flowers are just the flowers themselves, all the beauty must be discovered by yourself.

The second floor is the succulent area, with various wooden stalls displaying various succulents. Occasionally, you will find some unique succulent combinations.

“The flowers in Dounan Flower Market during the day are sold to tourists, but the flowers at night are really cheap.”

We walked around and left without seeing the real grand scene in the early morning.

I bought a bouquet of 7 sunflowers for 25 yuan at the door. They were still full of life when I brought them to Hangzhou. I don’t know if they are considered cheap. At street vendors in Hangzhou, generally speaking, white-heart sunflowers cost 10 yuan per branch, and black-heart sunflowers cost 15 yuan per branch. This kind of teddy bear sunflower is not common, and the price is estimated to be about the same, so I think it is a better deal.

After visiting the succulent area, I found that some of the stalls that had been taken away were now decorated with new flowers. It turns out that 17 o'clock is not the end, but a new beginning.

There is also a large area for selling flowers on the streets outside the market. Cars full of flowers come and go. Flower buyers shuttle with the flowers they have purchased. Flower sellers are waiting for their occasional stop.
