The Flower & Bird Market
|
.jpg)
More than what the name implies, the Bird and Flower Market is
a fascinating
place if you are interested in special local commodities. It is worthwhile
visiting just to see the
various kinds of ethnic items. Opened in 1983 in the center of Kunming
City, the Bird and Flower Market initially sold
various kinds of flowers, birds, fish, and insects. Because of its special
items, more and more people are
attracted to this market. As
more and more foreign visitors come, it is becoming a popular place for
purchasing and sightseeing. There
is a
wide range of items available
including
flowers, pets, typical ethnic costumes from Yunnan, jade and jewelry
and Chinese antiques. It's a perfect place if you are thinking of buying
yourself, your family members or friends some local souvenirs. As the
heart of old Kunming town, there used to be many traditional Kunming
buildings in this region,
and lately
there has been massive renovation going on
with the
purpose of bringing back some of
the old flavor
to
this rapidly
modernizing city.
Located in the center of Kunming City, the Bird and Flower Market can be
easily accessed by taking buses
or a taxi.
It is within walking distance from many other interesting places within
downtown
Kunming City,
such as
the Archway of Golden Horse and Green Rooster,
Nanpin Shopping and Pedestrian Street, Yunnan Provincial Museum and Green
Lake.
