Function: Surrounded by large-scale flower plantations and logistics center, Kunming Dounan Flower Market aims to be the largest cut flower trading base in Asia and attract a great number of buyers from home and abroad. The “Flower Capital” is characterized by its flowers with large quantities and various species. It is a platform helping buyers negotiate with sellers face to face, and a system available to pick flowers without delay.
Located near the Metro Dounan Station in Chenggong District, Kunming City, Dounan Flower World (Dounan Flower Market) is covering an area of 47.11 acres with a total construction area of 230,000 square meters. It is constructed according to the Class 4-A Tourist Spots in China and provides high-quality trading, logistics and other services for fresh cut flowers, potted flowers, potted plants, bonsai, and so on. The first floor of the flower market commonly sells potted flowers and holds fresh cut flowers auction; the second floor of the market sells succulent plants; the third floor of the market offers various specialties for traders and tourists. Around the flower market, there are several venues where you can buy dried flowers, flower products, and flower cakes, enjoy healthy entertainment and visit the ocean world.
In 1980, Li Zhaoxiang, a farmer in Guandu District, Kunming, planted chrysanthemum seedlings. After the flowers bloomed, he tied them into a bouquet of 5-6 branches with strips of palm leaves, put them in a bucket, and carried them by bicycle to Kunming City to sell them, earning more than 10 yuan a day. When selling flowers on the campus of Yunnan Agricultural University, he got acquainted with Peng Zengsheng, associate professor of the school’s Horticulture Department, who taught Li Zhaoxiang the way of planting gladiolus, freesia, and iris. At that time, a single branch of gladiolus could be sold for 30 cents, which was not a small business and caused a sensation in the local.
In 1983, for the income of selling flowers was much higher than growing vegetables, local villagers followed suit, and then flower cultivation mushroomed in Dounan. With the expansion of planting scale, flower farmers no longer carried flowers to Kunming city with carrying poles and baskets, but they sold flowers in the village market as if they were selling vegetables along the road, thus forming the earliest “Dounan Flower Street”, which was just about 50 meters long.
In 1995, the Dounan Flower Market, which covered an area of more than 8,000 square meters, was established so that villagers no longer had to peddle flowers on the street.
In March 2015, Kunming International Flower Industrial Park “Dounan Flower World” was finished and put into use. Many florists moved into this new market from the old market, marking the farewell to the insufficient old space and welcome to more advanced trading patterns.
Nowadays, flowers from the Kunming Dounan Flower Market have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions, and the market has become the only fresh cut flower trading market in the world that integrates four trading modes of electronic auction, counterparty trading, electronic unified settlement, and e-commerce. Seven out of every ten flowers in China come from Donan. Dounan Flower Market is viewed as a bellwether of flower sales in China and even Asia.
The discounter, located on the 1st and 2nd Floor of Hall 2, follows the theme of Yunnan’s unique animal, peacock, showing a vivid landscape style. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery like the romantic Violet Corridor, there are dried flowers, clothes with ethnic characteristics, sachet, simulation flowers, and other forms of Yunnan specialties.
The flower corridor with characteristic French style is situated on the 3rd floor of the 2nd Hall. The characteristic hand-painted door, the mysterious cliff, and the combination of hand-painted art and flowers, show the vivid art to us. It’s a perfect site for taking pictures!
In the Qianxun Art Space, there are traditional Chinese flower arrangements and flower art landscapes. Works of Flower arrangements and landscapes with different containers are placed for appreciation. Tourists can make flower arrangements, drink tea, burn incense, and take photos. The scene carefully created contains Chinese traditional culture and is the best for Chinese culture lovers.
