Glorious Blooms of Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city of contrasts and diversities. The city is highly urbanized modern city. But a closer look beyond the shiny edifice reveals the ancient culture associated with the city that makes it stand out as an unusual, exotic destination.

A riot of colors greets the eye as you approach Flower Market Road, as its sidewalk is lined with street stalls selling flower with stems and potted plants. The variety of flowers ranges from roses and gerberas, to the more exotic orchids and birds of paradise. The Chinese New Year sees business scaling new heights in varieties of flowers considered auspicious, like narcissi, poinsettias and yellow chrysanthemums.

This set of shops on Flower Market Road near Prince Edward Road West, is called the Flower Market. This is a selling ground for flowers from all over the world, at wholesale rates for bulk purchases and at retail prices for small quantities. The market provides a far larger variety and range of colors than any flower shop and the amount one would pay for a dozen roses at a florist’s, would buy a far bigger bunch of flowers of unmatched freshness and aroma that lingers for long. It is the ideal place to buy a gift for someone special.

Hong Kong’s Flower Market is small and compact, but its size in no way reflects the variety, freshness and scents of the blooms that adorn its stalls. This magical place is open every day from 7:00 am to 7:30 pm.

Hotels in Hong Kong offer a variety of facilities and services for the city traveler and if you are looking for a place that's ultra-luxurious and comforting after a great day at the Flower Market and its surrounding, head straight to the Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong to experience a wonderful time.
