For example, the festive is held on the Xi Hu Road and Jiao Yu Road in Yuxue district, on the Dong Hua Nan Road in Dongshan District, on the Li Wan Bei Road in Liwan district and on the Jiang Nan Xi Road in the Haizhu District.
The flower street, is also called as the yearly flower street. Hawkers will set up booths with bamboo shelves in the flower street selling flowers, fruits and all kinds of season goods for the spring festival. It is pretty much like the Christmas market in the west. The flower street is held till 2 am on the Chinese New Year Eve.
