Embrace exhibition through greener lifestyle

The Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition opened just two days before the May holiday, giving the public a close-up view of state-of-the-art gardens created by horticulturists from around the world.

China hosted a similar exhibition in Kunming, Yunnan province, in 1999. In the two decades since, the social and economic situations in China have undergone tremendous changes. A growing awareness of environmental protection is one of them.

Two decades ago, the Chinese people embraced the Kunming horticultural show as a novelty and curiosity because the country at that time did not have many opportunities to host large international gatherings.
