As the Spring Festival approaches, the largest waterborne flower market in Foshan opened in Lishui Town on Monday. In Foshan, strolling through the flower market is a traditional activity to usher in Chinese New Year. Foshan's waterborne market not only recreates the lively scenes of merchants transporting goods over a millennium ago but also incorporates many innovative elements. The market offers residents and visitors a variety of activities such as admiring the colors reflected in the water, taking water cruises, savoring the unique local cuisine, and praying for good luck for the coming year, adding a new romantic touch to the traditional Chinese New Year.
