The weather is always like February and March, and the flowers and branches are constantly in spring. In January, there were plum blossoms in Black Dragon Pond and camellias in Golden Palace; in February, tulips in Cuihu Lake and magnolias in Xishan Mountain; in March, cherry blossoms in Yuantong Mountain and azaleas in Black Dragon Pond… This spring, Kunming photographer Li Xiaochao has been chasing flowers after work.
“In Kunming, every photographer has his or her own map for taking pictures of flowers. They go there when the time is almost up.” She said that in the past few days, the jacarandas in the middle of the teaching field have bloomed, and many people can’t hold it back. The two sides of the sky moved closer to the base of the tree.

Li Xiaochao introduced that Kunming has two major advantages for photographing flowers. One is that the flowering period is long, so there is no need to rush for time; the other is that there are many types. After photographing this and that, there are flowers to photograph all year round. In addition to photographers who love taking pictures of flowers, there are also citizens and tourists who come here to admire and take pictures of flowers and freeze the most beautiful moments.
In the past, Wang Zengqi, who had studied and lived in Yunnan for seven years, was impressed by the flowers in Kunming and wrote down more than 10 kinds of flowers eloquently. Today, Kunming’s flowers have increasingly become a romantic and affectionate cultural symbol of the city. Using flowers as matchmakers, this spring, Kunming specially created three flower-viewing routes, ranging from downtown areas to green belts, connecting the “flower world” in the streets and alleys.
Entering Kunming’s Internet-famous vegetable market – Zhuanxin Farmers Market, seasonal flowers and wild vegetables are placed side by side, creating a unique artistic conception. While buying groceries, people also bought a bouquet of flowers, fireworks and romance.

The flowers in Kunming are not only beautiful to look at, but also delicious, stimulating the taste buds of diners from all over. Since the beginning of spring, Kunming, where flowers are used as vegetables, has entered the flower-eating season. Cold walnut flowers, stir-fried green beans with bitter thorn flowers, stir-fried banana flowers…a series of “flower”-like delicacies with a spring flavor appear in restaurants large and small.
“My favorite is the gorse omelette. After one bite, the sweet flower juice overflows from the egg and fills the entire mouth.” In a restaurant near Kunming Railway Station, Hubei university student Fang Shuo unlocked the flower-eating function fun of.
Not long ago, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Yunnan cuisine master Chen Sheng launched a cherry blossom banquet at the right time, combining flowers with seafood and special dipping sauces, which was welcomed by many diners. “For example, the Sakura Wasabi Shrimp and Sashimi Cod Roll are must-orders for those who come to eat,” Chen Shenghe said.
In Yunnan, there are hundreds of species of edible flowers. Local people incorporate some edible flowers into their daily diet, forming a unique flower-eating culture. This not only enriches the food life of local residents, but also makes flowers an economic resource. Flower products such as edible roses, flower cakes, and rose jam have become Kunming’s specialty industries.

In the Chinese market, 7 out of 10 fresh cut flowers come from Kunming, Yunnan. This spring, as the largest fresh cut flower trading market in Asia, Kunming Dounan Flower Market is in full swing. Thousands of varieties of flowers are gathered here, and people can take a handful of “spring” home with just five or ten yuan.
Not only that, the flowers cut in the morning are repaired and packed in the afternoon, and are traded at the Dounan Flower Market in the evening. They can be transported to major cities by plane and car early the next morning.
Yang Hai, head of the Dounan Sales Department of Yunnan SF Express Co., Ltd., said that since the beginning of this year, the company has shipped more than 26,800 tons of flowers, and the overall delivery volume has increased by more than 25% compared with the same period last year. “I am honored to share this exclusive romance of Spring City with more people.”
