15th China International Garden Expo to open on April 15

Wenzhou in Zhejiang province is set to host the China International Garden Expo for the first time on April 15 with free entry, officials announced at a news conference on Wednesday.

According to Hu Zijian, head of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's urban construction department, the expo answers the public's call for a better and happier life. "It allows residents to enjoy green views and parks at their doorstep — a concrete action to practice the 'people's city' concept," he said.
