As China's Spring Festival gains global attention, it has become an opportunity for the world to share in the Chinese market. Throughout the holiday, flowers from both domestic and international growers decorated parks, malls and homes, adding to the festive vibes and driving economic growth.

As living standards rise, there's a growing demand for diverse, high-quality flowers. The import of flowers provides consumers with more options, helping to meet their needs and becoming a key part of holiday shopping for younger generations, said Liu Meng, head of Beijing Hualanzi Technology Co., Ltd.

This year, a "New Year Flower Treasure Map" was introduced to simplify flower shopping in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province. With a simple QR code scan, buyers can find district-specific flower varieties, farm locations, and purchasing details down to individual growers, their locations, varieties and quantities.

In Guangzhou's Zengcheng district, 18 villages in Zhongxin Township have developed a flower industry that generates an annual output value of 57 million yuan (about US$ 7.95 million). With nearly 2,000 mu (about 133 hectares) of planted area, it has helped over 1,500 villagers boost their income.

China has emerged as the world's largest flower producer, with a flower planting area of 1.5 million hectares and over 5 million workers in the industry, according to the China Flower Association.
