The warm climate in Yunnan allows flowers of various kinds to blossom during all seasons. Dounan, as China’s largest fresh flower wholesale market, exports more than 500 varieties and 40 categories of flowers to over 50 countries and regions every day, among which 20 to 30 percent are sold to South and Southeast Asian countries. Yunnan has expanded more cooperation with neighboring countries in recent years under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. [Photo/Xinhua]
