After hosting the sailing regatta in the 2008 Olympic Games, Qingdao will again step onto the international stage when it presents the 2014 International Horticultural Exposition, said senior officials in the seaside city of East China's Shandong province.
Qingdao has one of China's most spectacular environments, with four clearly defined seasons and excellent air quality. It is a popular tourist destination and health resort.
Designs for the International Horticultural Exposition 2014 Qingdao combine the site's existing natural elements.
