“For me, I like walking around the Prince Edward flower market when I m free. To smell the fresh flowers, thinking which ones to buy and take home. There are so many options here to enliven the environment you live in! I enjoy roaming slowly through the stalls, browsing the wares and letting the freshness spirit away my imagination. As is most of Hong Kong, Prince Edward’s flower market is always bustling with people. Come for the colorful view, and also come for the shop keeps belting out their impassioned, sales pitches. Such beautiful contractions in this place!” – Hiu Wing

HISTORY OF FLOWER MARKET/FLOWER MARKET ROAD, PRINCE EDWARD KOWLOON
The centre of Hong Kong’s wholesale flower market industry since the 1970’s, Flower Market Road, or “花墟道”, was originally a place where shopkeepers could come to purchase the flowers for their flower shops. It became a tourist attraction in the 1990’s when most shop owners became more focused on cut-flowers. With events like the Hong Kong Flower Show and Victoria Park’s Chinese New Year’s fair becoming increasingly popular, so did the prominence of Flower Market Road. It is a busy year round but to truly capture it in all it’s glory, try to visit in the week or two leading up to Chinese New Year!
