All women are fond of beautiful things and all women who love beautiful things are fond of flowers. Along the Ladies Street, a famous marketplace in Beijing that sells fashionable goods to women, there is a world of flower, known as the Laitai Flower Market.

Laitai is the largest and maybe the most fashionable flower market in Beijing, a hub for flower sales in Beijing and neighboring cities. Each year, it trades about 1000 kinds of flowers as well as related products like fertilizer, flowerpots and handicrafts.

Laitai Flower Market is about 300 meters long and is as big as two football fields. There are altogether 48 independent flower stalls in the market and abundant plants and flowers for you to choose from: plum blossoms, orchards, bamboos, chrysanthemums, crabapple flowers and peonies.
