It is a traditional folk activity for Guangdong people to visit flower fairs during the Spring Festival. On January 19, the Shagangxu Spring Festival Flower Fair opened in East District, and the flower fairs in Nantou, Shaxi, Dongfeng, Huangpu and other towns and sub-districts have also kicked off in succession.

Many residents come to experience the bustling atmosphere of the flower fair in advance and do Spring Festival shopping at the Shagangxu Market.
