On October 28, the International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu officially concluded. Over the course of 186 days, Chengdu delivered a world-class horticultural extravaganza, defined by "modernity, global standards, Chinese essence, and Chengdu charm."

Closing Ceremony of the Chengdu Expo

Looking back on the bidding, planning, and hosting stages, Chengdu remained committed to a "green, low-carbon, sustainable, inclusive" philosophy, integrating urban development, industry advancement, and community benefits. The event vividly portrayed a "Park City, Beautiful Habitat" concept, showcasing the diverse aspects of Chinese-style modernization.

Main Venue of the Chengdu Expo

Chengdu adopted an innovative "one main, four auxiliary" venue layout, greatly expanding the event's reach. Guided by the three core principles, "green and low-carbon" was prioritized from theme and design to construction and operations.

Advanced technology enhanced the environmental focus; the main pavilion employed energy-efficient systems, saving energy equivalent to the yearly air conditioning usage of 30 average households.

In the Chinese Horticultural Exhibition Zone, the Shanghai Garden used Western-style arches and cobbled paths to evoke intimate alleyway courtyards, while the Nanjing Garden featured pavilions, pools, and floral landscapes with distinctive Jiangnan Garden characteristics. Each garden showcased regional cultural richness, weaving together a brilliant tapestry of Chinese heritage.

The green, ecological, and vibrant spirit of the expo continues to enrich urban public spaces, enhancing residents' well-being and creating a vivid, people-centered landscape of community benefits.
