Bird-Flower Market is located in the center of Kunming s downtown area, and is a bazaar focusing on flowers and pets such as gold fish, birds, and however, the market boasts many other commodities for sale. The market retains the feel of a traditional Chinese market in every sense. In addition, you will find there is a wide array of knick-knacks, souvenirs, replica weapons, fish, turtles, rodents, and many other items on sale. It is possible to pick up a real bargain if you try out your bargaining skills! Do bear in mind that the quality of many of the items is likely to be of a lower standard than you would find in shops, and the items are, most probably, fake.
There is a popular souvenir in Yunnan, called water pipe, which is used to smoke tobacco by local people. There are water pipes in various sizes and styles, which are mainly made of metal and wood. You will also find many items unique to Yunnan s very own ethnic style, making Bird-flower Market an excellent place to stock up on souvenirs for family and friends. It also provides an excellent snapshot of real, everyday life in Yunnan province.
