Customers examine offerings at Caojiadu Flower Market in Shanghai on November 13, 2017. Caojiadu Flower Market, the largest of its kind in downtown Shanghai, is scheduled to shut down next month. Located on Wanhangdu Road opposite the Caojiadu Catholic Church of Saint Michael, the flower market is one of the liveliest of its kind in the entire Yangtze River Delta. It opened in 2006. The wide variety of floral displays is eye-catching in the multistory market. There are also silk flowers, potted houseplants and items of garden decor. In addition, the market also sells songbirds and parrots, pet fish and small turtles. (Photo: China News Service/Yinliqin)
