Go deep in Lijiang：April sees robust flower trade

April saw roses and calla lilies flourishing at a flower breeding center in Gucheng district, northwest Yunnan’s Lijiang city.

Covering 40,000 square meters, the flower base produces 10,000 colored calla lilies and 20,000 fresh-cut roses every day.

Most flowers are sold to the Chinese cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some to overseas markets in ASEAN and central Asia.

Lijiang has been on its way to be a first-class garden for China and Southeast Asia.
