Photo Entry: Jian Guo Flower Market 建國花市

The Jian Guo Flower Market is a weekend flower market that occupies a the underneath of a raised highway. Most of the space under bridges and over passes in Taipei are used as shops or parking lots. Jian Guo Flower Market is definitely the most iconic flower market in Taiwan where you can find all kinds of floral and gardening products, exotic plants and flowers and.... pets to adopt! Well, the pet part is really not a part of the market. An animal rights protection group set up a booth there for donation collection and to ask people to be nice to doggies and kitties. I was not sure if those pups were up for adoption, but it did attract a lot of attention, and temptation!

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, naturally the theme was all about Chinese New Year products, like flowers and decorations for this festive season. Any one who likes Orchids definitely should visit the market!
