Are you looking to visit a local street market in Hong Kong that isn't overrun by tourists? If so, you'll be able to explore an authentic side of the city that many visitors miss. Whether you're a horticultural enthusiast or simply someone who loves to be surrounded by fresh, colorful flowers and auspicious plants, the Flower Market is an ideal destination for you. This hidden paradise is a sensory feast that will delight all of your senses at once.

Located on Flower Market Road (花墟道) in Prince Edward, the Flower Market is a vibrant open-air market filled with a variety of flower shops, as well as rows of endless plants and bonsai trees. This oasis amidst the concrete jungle is situated just around the corner from the Birds Market. It is interesting to note that before the area became the Flower Market in the '70s, it functioned solely as a wholesale market. However, starting in the '90s, a myriad of flower and plant shops began to spring up in the neighbourhood.

Since its establishment, the market has become a beloved destination for both locals and tourists alike. The market boasts an impressive selection of seasonal flowers, plants, and seeds imported from all over the world. During special occasions such as Chinese New Year, Mother's Day, and Valentine's Day, the Flower Market is especially popular, as visitors flock to purchase seasonal flowers to celebrate with their loved ones. The market is known to be bustling with activity during these times, making for an unforgettable experience.
