The market is busiest in the early morning hours, when flowers are trucked out to Kunming and beyond, but it stays open to the public until around seven in the evening. Dozens of individual greenhouses line the muddy street. Inside, you'll find orchids, jasmine, bamboo, bonsai trees, and lots of other flowers and greenery. We even found good-sized rosemary and lavender plants.

Getting There:

It takes about 90 minutes to get to Juhua Cun from downtown Kunming by bus. Take the number 5 from Xiaoximen or the number 11 from Jianshe Lu, to Dong Zhan, which is the last stop on both lines. From there, catch the number 12 bus for 2 yuan. Ju Hua Cun is the last stop on the 12. When you get off the bus, walk back in the direction that the bus came from for a few hundred meters. The entrance to the flower market will be on your left, marked by a banner hanging above the street.
