A Weekend Flower Market
The Taipei Jianguo Holiday Flower Market is a large weekend flower market located under the Jian Guo Road overpass, at the North East corner of Da'an Forest Park (near the children's playground). The market contains a variety of flowers, tropical plants, cacti, bonsai trees, and orchids, which are fascinating for children to see. The flower market connects to the Jade market and Artist’s market, and the three markets together run for almost a kilometer under the elevated highway.
