The Expo is really too big and too beautiful!
A day to see the world's gardens, the charm of Western Sichuan is everywhere!
In here, Chinese elements are interwoven with the diverse cultures of the world into beautiful paintings.
What I visited was the main venue (the main venue in Chengdu Eastern New District) and what impressed me the most was the Chengdu Garden Pavilion, which takes 'a pavilion, a dwelling, a gallery' as the main thread, presenting a unique Western Sichuan garden landscape. High mountains with cascading waterfalls, water surrounding dwellings, and fields full of flowers, it's like a flowing landscape painting. The horticulture displayed many precious flowers unique to Chengdu, and also let me feel the elegance of Western Sichuan gardens and the Tianfu culture while looking at the plants, silently blending into every corner of the Expo.
Right next to the Sichuan Bamboo Rhythm Garden, the bamboo bridge crossing the Jiangxi River has dynamic lines and a novel design, attracting countless tourists to stop and take photos, becoming one of the Expo's popular photo spots.

Visit the Expo 2017 sub-venue in Pidu District (Chengdu International Horticultural Exhibition)
Transportation: Take Metro Line 6 to Houjiatiao Station, then transfer to bus 727A to Spring Flower Music Park Station. Get off and walk about 400 meters to the Spring Four Garden Center, which is the Pidu District Expo Park sub-center.
The first picture includes a promotional display board with the slogan 'Chengdu's Flower Music Park, the permanent Expo'. There is a banner-style floral stand with the words '2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition' made of fresh flowers, facing the visitor center building on top of which are the Expo logo and '2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition'. Between the main exhibition hall and the floral stand is a square with the Expo mascot, the logo, and a banner with 'XPO2004', and the ground of the square is also inscribed.
Free admission for a tour and photography after security check. The layout of the restroom points in the exhibition area is reasonable. The indoor exhibition displays various plants and has a miniature three-dimensional platform for explanation. There are areas such as the boutique flower planting area, lettuce cold chain logistics center, Hanjiang Village resettlement community, Xingyue Hall, horticultural area, Big Eye Garden, Butterfly Bridge, Bamboo Expo Park, and so on. The exhibition hall is arranged like an elegant leisure residence where you can sit and take photos anywhere.
'China's Hometown of Bonsai' has a one-meter-high fence for distant viewing only. There are also exhibition halls like 'The Fragrance of Kings, the Most Beautiful National Orchid', 'Chengdu Taili Manor', 'Spring Overflowing Flower Boundary', 'Comfortable Life Originates from Nature', and 'Banali'.
Walking out of the main exhibition hall, on the right side, there are eight three-story high 'Spring Four Garden Centers' in a row, which are the floral art exhibition halls. The first four exhibition halls require a security check to enter, including the 'Flower Creation Core Exhibition Area' and others. The second floor of the first two exhibition halls has Qiuhuo Flower Art, which is flower arrangement art, flower horticulture e-commerce live broadcast center, and a few halls selling flowers and fruit plants. Most of the second and third floors of the exhibition halls are for rent as vacant rooms.
Outside the Sichuan-Chongqing Flower Market exhibition hall, there is 'Guo Tangyuan' which has been open since 1909, priced at ¥15 per bowl, containing five kinds of tangyuan: peanut, sesame, sesame paste, xisha, and rose, and they taste quite good.
On the roadside outside the 'Spring Four Garden Center' exhibition hall, there is a '2024 Chengdu First Flower Planting and Art Competition' works exhibition, such as 'Fangxin Grass Horticulture'.
A casual stroll is half a day's time, and if you are interested in flower horticulture, you can savor it in the main exhibition hall and the floral art exhibition hall.
Attached is a map for reference, and also a wish for 'everything to go smoothly'.

The upcoming Chengdu Eastern New District is the perfect place for a stroll with the kids
After taking the kids to play in Chengdu Eastern New District on the weekend, I realized that this place is truly a treasure for strolling with children in Chengdu.

🔸Jinyun Tower: The iconic building of the Expo, a traditional Chinese tower, grand and imposing
🔸Tianfu Residential Pavilion: Composed of three intertwined rings of red, blue, and green, where children excitedly run around, a great place for kids to release energy

A must-do at Sancha Lake, a favorite of children, where you can enjoy the lake and mountain scenery on the cruise. On the second floor of the boat, you can feel the chill of the breeze.

4️⃣Danjing Platform:
With an excellent view, overlooking the entire Sancha Lake, Tianfu Airport, and the Expo. The spiral walkway is a great place for the little devil to run wild and tumble. The central seed bank is well worth a visit, and the kids love the design that allows them to touch the seeds. The unique tactile experience makes children enjoy this kind of science education even more. Those who like thrills can go to the glass walkway.
.
5️⃣Zhiye Library
The architecture is uniquely shaped, like a cloud floating above the park, light and transparent. Walking inside is like entering a secret realm, with many children's books on the first floor. The central water feature caught the kids' attention for a long time.

The exterior is dominated by luxurious orange, and the lobby's spiral staircase is very photogenic. The room's oversized bathtub is a favorite of the kids. After a day of strolling with the kids, you can rest well here 🛌

After touring the exhibition gardens, feeling a bit tired
Luckily, the 88-meter-tall Ferris wheel was right beside me
Thinking of letting the scenery and rising height wake me up
But unexpectedly, I also encountered Pizza Hut here
I can't help but marvel at how well Pizza Hut does it
The style is more fashionable and younger, more minimalist
Full of retro green, full of atmosphere
Ordered an Italian meat sauce pizza and snacks
Tomato meat sauce flavored all the way to the crust
Lots of meaty 🧀 cheese, tender and smooth

A treasure trove of leisure spots has been found around Chengdu - the Chengdu International Horticultural Expo
The Chengdu International Horticultural Expo has opened❗ I declare it a must-visit treasure trove of leisure for the May Day holiday~
As a super plant lover from the planet of plants, I really adore plants; it's simply a paradise for plant science education. Going to the Expo with friends, we not only saw exotic plants from all over the world but also enjoyed camping on the lawn. The 'Playful Camping' site is truly a treasure trove of leisure📝 Trendy camping, day coffee and night drinks, creative cuisine, and art exhibitions. The unplugged concert on-site with live performances was really NICE!
There's also the charm of Sichuan bamboo, with a focus on Chengdu tea houses by the lake, where drinking tea is leisurely and full of poetic charm.
Sitting on a wooden bench, holding a steaming cup of tea, surrounded by the sparkling lake and gently swaying willow trees. This scene is not only refreshing but also filled with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. The relaxed vibe of the people from Sichuan and Chongqing reaches its peak at this moment✨

The whole park is just too big to describe, with the pavilions being quite far apart, it is recommended that if you bring kids and the elderly, you should definitely buy a sightseeing car ticket for 30 yuan, which allows for unlimited rides, otherwise, it's too tiring for the legs!
The park has 6 pavilions and 113 theme gardens.
A few interesting ones:

EXPO chengdu2024
🍃Coming soon: 186 days, from late spring to early autumn~
In the Eastern New District of Chengdu, a showcase of characteristic flowers and plants from cities around the world will be on display, a feast for the eyes!
🌳The entire design of the park really understands what is a photogenic and enjoyable garden, what dynamic and curved lines are for viewing~ A friend said even the conical tubes are placed so photogenically! This time, the photography mainly follows the design's curves for framing, and it's very 👌! So easy to get beautiful shots!
💐The floral and plant landscapes in the park will keep your shutter clicking non-stop! Featuring ground cover perennials, colored leaf shrubs, ornamental grasses, and aquatic plants~ You will see very naturally integrated forest edges, roadside grasses, waterside grass landscapes, wall flower landscapes, and building-side plant landscapes~
Suggested viewing: Shanghai Pavilion, Wuhan Pavilion, etc., in the Chinese Horticulture Exhibition Area~
🏰The colors and architecture in the park are seriously impressive! Whether it's the ethereal ribbons of the UK Pavilion or the white structures of the Qingdao Pavilion, they stand like fortresses of the earth's spirit! We will also find that the domestic city pavilions have many details worth pausing to appreciate~
Suggested viewing: Jinyun Tower, Montpellier City of France~
🌼Surprisingly found many special plants in the park: Pennisetum alopecuroides, Abutilon, Asian lilies, Siberian iris, Goldmound spirea, Berberis thunbergii var. atropurpurea, Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light', Baobab~ These are varieties that are usually hard to see~
🏃Route sharing: We parked at the negative first floor of the main pavilion, went upstairs and walked from the Chinese Horticulture Exhibition Area to Jinyun Tower, then took the sightseeing car to the International Exhibition Area and the Botanical Museum, and returned to visit the Tianfu Residential Pavilion~
🎡Passed by the opposite Dream World Magic Forest which is about to open, it looks like a dreamland that children will absolutely love after the park opens~
Warm tips:
✅The park is very large, and while the sightseeing car is convenient, it is also a great place for walking, so it's suggested to travel light~
✅There are not many places for drinking and dining yet, so you might want to prepare something yourself~
✅There are not many shaded areas in the park, so be prepared for sun protection~
❣️Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition - Jianyang
🚇Accessible by lines 18 and 19, with a shuttle bus directly from Exit B.
We only toured less than one-sixth of the park in one afternoon, and there are still many city floral pavilions we want to see! It feels like the Expo could be visited 100 times!
