Hangzhou Flower Market welcomes the New Year and some businesses do not close during the Spring Festival on Valentine’s Day. New Year flowers with high sales on the market are Phalaenopsis, North American holly, plum blossoms, anthurium, kumquat, etc.
The market is expected to be busiest in four or five days, when more customers will choose New Year's Eve flowers with a shorter shelf life to preserve the most beautiful flowers during the Chinese New Year. In order to sprint for the "Double Festival" sales, Mr. Jin and his family chose to stay in Hangzhou and not go home.
