9th Beijing Tulip Festival to kick off
The 9th Beijing Tulip Festival will open on April 1 at the International Flower Port in Beijing. The theme of this year's tulip festival is "Flowers, Prosperity, and the Belt and Road". The exhibition period will run from April 1 to May 10.
Four million tulips will display their beauty throughout the festival.
Outdoor Show - Maritime Silk Road
The outdoor exhibition of the tulip festival is based on the design concept of the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". Under the premise of ensuring the original natural landscape, the spirit of connection of the Belt and Road will be merged through the uniquely shaped tulips. The entire park starts from the North Sea of Europe and passes through the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. The scientific and rational planting techniques have skillfully integrated 100 varieties of tulips of four different flowering periods, thus creating the largest, the most diverse and the longest-running tulip show in northern China.
More than 30 kinds of bulb flowers including hyacinths, irises, saffron, daffodils and giant onions, which are seldom seen in China, are fitted perfectly with each other by increasing the local planting density and extending the time of the local viewing area.
Different thematic landscapes including togetherness, harmonious coexistence and long history are distributed in the park to demonstrate the commitment to the "Belt and Road". Visitors can not only enjoy the beauty of the flowers, but also appreciate the "Belt and Road" style.
Wonderful shows
During the holidays and weekends, there will be professional actors in the park to perform funny clown performances, as well as tours, exciting bubble shows, a copper-man show and balloon performances. Visitors will have a chance to enjoy the Maritime Silk Road and the customs and cultures of countries along its course.
Colorful activities
Long-distance running
A long-distance running festival for primary and middle school students will be held at the International Flower Port in Beijing during the tulip festival. The students and visitors will exercise while enjoying the beautiful tulips.
