Caojiadu flower market is the largest flower market in Shanghai center. It’s my most love market either because I always go there to buy flowers and display prop for the work. The market have tons of flowers, plants,animals, wedding material and so on，the main business are wholesale and retail that you can see many different companys, shops and person to buy flowers everyday. The main reason is it has a good geographical location and traffic, you can get there easyly by metro,take a taxi or drive car.

But the market will closed at the end of this month, all the stores were informed that they have to move out before 26th. Some stores are moving to new places in these days. They will go to some different markets which all far away from center, and some markets don’t have metro station. That’s not easy for me to buy some display prop in future, I will spend more time and money than before.

“Caojiafu flower market is too noisy during the night, above all, the flower wholesale businesses start from 3 am.” An resident who live nearby the market said in a interview. The government is removing illegal buildings and stores in shanghai, because it want to improve the appearance of city.

For catching the last vision of market, our shanghai urban sketchers held a sketch party last weekend. We caught the good look in our way with pen and paper.
