Dounan Flower Market
Chenggong, Kunming
Asia's largest flower market, where trains of roses and lilies move through the night like cargo.
Dounan supplies most of China's cut flowers, and its night market is the largest flower trading floor in Asia. From 20:00, pallets of roses, orchids, and lilies roll through auction halls and onto nationwide trains. You can buy a bucket of flowers for the price of a coffee.
Go after dark, wander the auction halls, and do not worry about language - flowers are universal. Vendors can wrap bouquets for airport carry-on.
Best for: A million flowers in motion, after dark.
