On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2017, when the night fell over the Spring City, the Dounan Flower Market was still as bright as day. Li Keqiang, then the Premier of the State Council, visited here. Touched by the vitality of the flower sea, he left his expectations for Dounan's future: "The Dounan Flower Market is already number one in China and Asia. I hope you can strive to become number one in the world."

However, the approaching numbers do not mean that Dounan's goal of becoming "number one in the world" is within reach. The industry status of Dounan's flowers is inseparable from its unique geographical environment. Located in Chenggong District of Kunming, Dounan Town is adjacent to the east bank of Dianchi Lake and has a large area of flat river valley land. Here, there is abundant sunshine and fertile soil, like a huge natural greenhouse. The high - quality status of the "Flower Capital of Asia" can be seen from a set of employment data.

According to public reports, among the 70,000 permanent residents in Dounan, 46,500 are engaged in flower - related work, involving 3,300 enterprises, and there are more than 15,000 business entities and individual industrial and commercial households. The long - term situation of "no one going out for migrant work" further demonstrates the strong attractiveness of this industry in the local area.
