In addition, a creative online flower market using artificial intelligence will also be launched in the Guangdong capital. With the click of a button, people will be able to buy stunning flowers arranged by top florists.

Parks in Guangzhou will also launch a series of events to mark the Chinese New Year. For example, Yuexiu Park will hold a lantern festival, Liuhua Lake Park will stage a special Lingnan bonsai exhibition and the Guangzhou Zoo will organize a zodiac cultural exhibition.
