More than 350 participants in the 8th "Belt and Road" Youth Maker Camp explored the vitality and charm of the Dounan Flower Market in the Chenggong district of Kunming, Yunnan province on July 27.
The Dounan Flower Market, the largest fresh cut flower trading market in Asia, sells tens of billions of flowers to more than 50 countries and regions anually, including Japan, Poland, Russia and South Korea.
Students and teachers on the camp traveled to witness the vibrant flower trading activities at the market. They also visited the Kunming International Flower Auction and Trading Center, and learned about the entire industry chain process, from flower seedling cultivation to auctions. The immersive experience provided insights into Dounan's technological innovations in the flower industry.
