Here, you can see a convergence of birds and flowers and other goods but also feel the leisure of life and local custom.

Opened in 1983, the Kunming Flowers and Birds Market was originally a place for petty dealer to sell birds, flowers, fishes and other small animals. However, it has gradually become a public places for purchasing, entertainment, leisure and for sightseeing.
