This marks the ninth time for China to host a garden expo of this scale during 15 years. The event will be held from April to October in 2013 along the riverside of Yongding. The site will cover more than 5 square kilometers in the south-west of Beijing.

Lu Kehua, director general of Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Dev't., said, “All planning and construction are to be environmentally sustainable. We focus on rubbish recycling in the region. And what's more, we will build a museum for presenting the culture and history of world gardens. ”

The expo will be an economic asset and naturally merged with urban areas that surround the site. Original ecology will be maintained as much as possible.

This is the venue of international garden expo. Everything is under construction. This place will be built into a big garden in one year’s time. All the tourists are supposed to perceive the beauty of different art styles here.

The site will also be separated into specialty areas: there will be a garden region, floral art region, garden museum, and sightseeing region. Scenes shifting within steps will not be a dream here.
