Shanghai to transform into a city of flowers
The festival will debut 18 new plant varieties selected from submissions by 28 domestic and international organizations, bringing the flowers from the laboratory to urban green spaces.
Beyond exhibitions, the festival will include over 100 activities integrating flowers with culture, commerce, tourism and sports, while 34 commercial districts will offer themed promotions.
Tourists can navigate the festivities via three flower-themed routes connecting central venues, combining exhibitions, shopping, dining, and accommodation. Sports activities include cycling events, forest half-marathons, and garden yoga sessions.
The festival also focuses on residents' participation with community garden initiatives, plant appreciation events, family gardening activities, and natural education workshops.
