The Pudong Qiantan branch venue of the 2026 Shanghai International Flower Show — Flora Meets New Bund — will kick off at Taikoo Li Qiantan on April 18 and run through May 10, featuring a riverside flower route.
Hosted by Lujiazui Group, the flower route will stretch over two kilometers, connecting the Qiantan riverside public space and core commercial complexes to seamlessly integrate natural ecology and urban prosperity.
The 1.5-kilometer hydrangea avenue serves as the core landscape axis. The Qiantan floral train travels along the route, with its vintage steam locomotive body adorned with floral decorations.
Drawing on the inspiration of the Chelsea Flower Show in the UK, five European-style arches themed with roses and climbers are lined up along the 800-meter street in Crystal Plaza and New Bund Red Lane. Nearly 30 merchants have created distinctive floral storefronts, while floral sculptures of rabbits, giraffes, and white doves are placed along the area.
The Qiantan all-star concert — featuring popular singers — will be held at Qiantan Sports Park on April 25. Additionally, there will be ongoing ecological, market, and daily activities — including a flower fair featuring over 60 plant varieties and a cultural heritage festival with more than 120 artisans.

When we were in the Pudong area of Shanghai the only photo I took of flowers was a wild bunch of poppies - first time I ever saw real poppies that weren't in someone's lapel for Remembrance Day.
This is the photo of the poppies that I took in the Pudong area of Shanghai:
