No visitor can leave Dounan Flower Market empty-handed! Kunming's Dounan Flower Market is the largest fresh-cut flower market in Asia and a national 3A tourist attraction. It offers a wide variety of flowers, including over 1,600 species such as carnations, roses, and sunflowers. There are dozens of rose varieties alone, including Blue Enchantress, Ocean Song, Diana, Red Sleeve, Moonlight Bubble, Nine-Tailed Fox, Gentle Crystal, and Cold Beauty. 1. Transportation ① Subway: Take Line 4 to Jinguijie Station and exit from Exit B. Do not get off at Dounan Station, or you'll have to walk an extra kilometer. ② Self-driving: Navigate to Jinguijie Station Exit B or Vienna Hotel (Jinguijie Subway Station). There is a parking lot nearby, but we don't recommend parking at Dounan Flower Market. 2. My summary of the approximate times and sessions ① 4 am–12 pm: Next to the bonsai market opposite Dounan Primary School, mainly herbaceous flowers. ② 9 am–6 pm: Mainly retail time, mainly for tourists. In addition to fresh-cut flowers on the first floor, there are succulents, dried flowers, preserved flowers, essential oils, and other creative products on the second floor. ③ 7:30 pm–8:30 pm: The flower market is closed for a change of venue, but there are flower vendors with carts around the market. There is a wide variety and quantity of flowers, and without venue rent, the flowers are cheaper. Many vendors sell each type of flower, so you can shop around and ask for prices before choosing the right one. ③ 8:30 pm–2 am: Mainly wholesale, mainly roses. This is the busiest and most spectacular time. 3. Tips ① Flowers are really cheap. Don't rush to buy when you first arrive. Compare prices at several stores. For example, a wreath costs CNY 10 at the entrance, but most of them cost CNY 5 inside, and I got one for CNY 3 after shopping around. ② The flower-related products on the second floor are really nice. I bought a bar of essential oil soap for CNY 30 at Tengchong, and I've used up three bars. Here, it only costs CNY 5–10, so I stocked up. ③ If you need to mail flowers, there are postal, Zhongtong, and SF Express outlets in the market, or you can find a stall that specializes in mailing flowers, but the shipping cost may be high. 4. Food recommendations ① Huale Food Court is right next door, offering Lao Liangkou pea flour, Guandu rice noodles, fried potatoes, Jianshui grilled tofu, Mile braised chicken rice noodles, Qujing steamed rice noodles, flower clam rice noodles, Tengchong rice noodles, etc. ② If you finish shopping after 6 pm, I recommend taking a 23-minute taxi ride to Xintiandi Night Market for snacks. There are so many delicious foods, and it's cheap and plentiful because it's close to the university. We spent less than CNY 200 for seven people.
