However, the flower market was once deserted during the pandemic in 2021. The organizer of the flower market had to implement one-way crowd control measures to avoid further spreading of the virus due to excessive flow of people. At that time, the Victoria Park Flower Market only had a few stalls and visitors &#8211; the buzz of bargaining was no longer present, replaced by a chilly atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Now in 2025, the flower market is bustling with a very different scene. The 2025 Hong Kong Chinese New Year Flower Market starts on 23 January and runs until the early morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year. Victoria Park, the largest flower market, was packed with people. People travelled between flowers and people with the anticipation of New Year&#8217;s good fortune.<\/p>\n<p>From the deserted streets in 2021 to the bustling crowds in 2025, Hong Kong&#8217;s flower market vividly shows the profound impact of the pandemic used to have on daily life, while also highlighting the city&#8217;s remarkable resilience and vitality. This year, the flower market remains to be a beloved place for people to embrace Chinese New Year with festive spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2021, the Victoria Park Flower Market in Hong Kong was almost deserted due to the pandemic, with only a few stalls and people.
