Jiang Guo Flower Market 建國花市

Went to the Jiang Guo Holiday Flower Market this Saturday with my friends. It was really crowded over there because of the coming Chinese New Year. People going there can buy plants for the occasion at much lower prices about one month before Lunar New Year than during it. Take a red radish, which chinese regard as a good omen, for example. It costs NT.30 right now, but if you buy it during the period of New Year it may cost NT.250. No wonder many people went there to spend money for saving money this weekend.

這個星期六和朋友去建國假日花市．因為即將到來的春節，那兒還真是人潮洶湧．農曆年前約一個月去那兒的人，可以比起春節期間而言極低的價格，買到應景植物．舉個例子，被中國人視為好彩頭的紅色的菜頭現在一盆值30元，但在春節期間可能要花250元才買得到．難怪有許多人在這個週末去那兒為了省錢而花錢．
