Built for China's International Horticultural Exposition in 2006, the Expo Garden is now a permanent site on Shenyang landscape. The immaculate gardens and natural areas provide an escape from the industrial city center. Calm ponds and interactive obstacle courses mean that the Expo Garden has something to offer for everyone.
The garden has an area of 246 hectare with over 50 domestic gardens and 10 royal plots. The International Horticulture Expo Garden has 24 Fair Parks reserved for exhibition. Visitors can look around this garden by bicycles and golf carts. Regarded as a World Park by the China Flower Association, the park has over 6 million tulip specimens and 650 varieties of flowers.
