The Chinese Lunar New Year is around the corner. Traditionally, in Guangdong, people are accustomed to strolling through flower markets and buying flowers before the Spring Festival for decoration or good luck in the coming year. Given the latest wave of the COVID-19 cases, according to the relevant requirements in Dongguan, the city will not have a large flower fair. However, citizens can visit multiple flower shops and e-commerce platforms to purchase New Year flowers. In order to offer more customers easy access to the new year's plants, most towns and districts have set up Spring Festival flower points.

Citizens can also follow the corresponding towns' or districts' WeChat official accounts to acquire the sales situation of the New Year flowers.

The price

Affected by the epidemic, the prices of New Year plants and flowers have risen. For example, the cost of phalaenopsis has increased by 10% to 15%, and potted plants prices have jumped by 10% compared. The busiest period for the flower market is expected to be from the 25th of the lunar calendar.

Reminder

Due to the pandemic, residents are advised to follow safety protocols required at relevant venues. When visiting the flower markets, please wear masks and follow safety protocols.
