At the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, the 2021

International Horticultural Exposition opens on the morning of April 8. This is

the first time that the grand event of the global horticulture industry has

settled in the Yangtze River Delta. The concept of China's green development

has been spread to the world once again.

total of 64 exhibition parks. In addition to the Jiangsu exhibition area, which

has 13 districted city exhibition parks, there are a total of 26 cities and

enterprises participating in the domestic exhibition area, and 25 cities and

organizations from abroad.

The expo fully shows the unique advantages of the world's gardening book Yuanye

and implements the idea of "Even though made by humans, like from heaven". It

is uniquely built the International Pavilion using "Finless Porpoise" as the

blueprint, the largest artificial waterfall in Jiangsu "Fantasy Waterfall"

plastic rockery, "Great Forest and Valleys" China Pavilion with large-scale

wood structure, and "Qionghua Xianji" Yuanye theme park.

Adhering to the concept of "Green Dream, Green Construction, Green Life", the

expo, guiding the preliminary design and resource allocation, vigorously

promoted the deep integration of the exhibition and post-operations, and

actively explored the sustainable use of the expo.

The International Horticultural Exposition is a global event reviewed and

approved by the International Horticultural Producers Association. It aims to

promote international exchanges in the horticultural industry and culture and

protect the world's biodiversity by displaying the latest achievements and

technologies. It is to achieve "harmonious symbiosis between man and nature".

Since the beginning in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 1960, the expo has been

held in Europe and Asia for nearly 40 sessions, of which China has hosted 9

times. It is of great significance and far-reaching influence.
