Guangzhou organized the largest flower fair for the Chinese New Year in the city's history by setting up flower markets in each of its 8 districts and two economic development zones.

The market displays cover a total area of 14,200 square meters with 4,528 booths, sources from the municipal government said.

Yuexiu District, where most of the foreign consulates are located, had printed a market tour map in both Chinese and English for the convenience of foreigners.

Toilets, clinics, exits and a complaints center were labeled in English.

The Yuexiu flower fair, which has a strong Linnan flavor, began in 1950.

This flower fair has been listed as one of the most popular destinations in Yuexiu's one-day tour.

As the Guangzhou flower fair became more influential, many exhibitors from other provinces including Shandong, Hanan, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hainan had become involved in the fair.
