Marker on journey to green future

While many might regard the 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition a successful event simply because of its efficient organization and its crowd-pulling popularity, its achievement was more than that.

The exhibition, which attracted exhibitors from 110 countries and international organizations, not only provided 9.34 million visitors from home and abroad an opportunity to appreciate horticulture from around the world, it was also an effective platform for the dissemination of the concept of green development and practical ways to realize it.

It is noteworthy top experts in green technology, architecture, urban management and sustainable development from around the world have been actively engaged in the exhibition from seven years ago, before the expo park's existence. Their involvement spurred the event to go far beyond horticulture, and it explored the frontiers of how green concepts, technology and development can practically dovetail with one another.
