The 2014 Qingdao International Horticultural Expo, which will officially open on April 25, has launched a cellphone travel guide app to provide visitors with a personalized, interactive experience at the expo's many specialty parks.

"The expo committee is dedicated to providing visitors with a convenient travel experience featuring low-carbon, new materials, interactive and digital technologies with our comprehensive and innovative services," said Li Fengli, secretary-general of the expo's executive committee.

The app is integrated with the online expo tour website. Users can learn about the map and points of interest at the online expo before visiting, setting up a personalized itinerary on the cellphone app.
