Residents select potted flowers for Spring Festival at the Dutch Flower Town in Nanshan District yesterday. With the Spring Festival around the corner, falling on Feb. 1 this year — colorful, fresh and fragrant flowers are available in flower stores around the city. It is an old custom in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao that every household buys flowers before the Spring Festival either for decoration or good luck in the upcoming year.  Sun Yuchen
