Strolling through flower fairs is a treasured Guangdong tradition for welcoming the Spring Festival.

Ten days before the Chinese New Year, Nanshan District's flower fair officially opened on Feb. 8, featuring three main venues at Dutch Flower Town, Zhongshan Park, and Nantou Ancient Town, one subvenue along Shenzhen Bay Avenue–Shenzhen Bay Culture Square, and multiple satellite flower markets across subdistricts and major commercial areas.

The venue also includes a musical fountain and iconic Dutch elements such as a large windmill, wooden shoes, and vibrant tulip fields. Excerpts from the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion" will be performed throughout the holiday period.
