'Beijing Day' to celebrate exhibition's kickoff

China's capital will hold "Beijing Day" events, up to 50 activities until Friday, as part of the 2019 International Horticultural Exhibition that kicked off on April 28.

The municipal authority said on Tuesday that activities will include an opening ceremony, governmental policy presentation, art performance, intangible cultural heritage and a flower arrangement show during the three-day event.

Lin Bin, deputy head of the Beijing Sub-council of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the major organizer of the event, said it's a precious opportunity for Beijing to use such a world-level expo as a platform to show Beijing's history, culture, modern development and ecological achievement.
