According to the successful precedent of' 99 China Kunming World Horticultural Exposition and the relevant materials provided by JCOM Company to hold the World Horticultural Exposition in other countries, the relevant departments of Shenyang Municipal Government demonstrated the conditions and possibility of Shenyang's successful bid, and specially invited domestic and foreign experts to inspect Shenyang Botanical Garden and supporting facilities in the city. The conclusion is that Shenyang is fully qualified to bid for the World Horticultural Exposition.
In June 2003 +065438+ 10, Mayor Chen of Shenyang sent a letter to President Faber, proposing Shenyang's intention to bid for the 2006 World Horticultural Exposition.
On September 1 2004, at the 56th General Assembly of the World Horticultural Producers Association (AIPH) held in Belgium, the Shenyang Municipal Government made a final statement on its application for the World Heritage. As Shenyang has made full preparations and demonstrated its advantages and basic conditions for hosting the World Expo, the General Assembly unanimously approved Shenyang's application. Genoa, an Italian city that made a bid presentation with Shenyang at the same time, was temporarily shelved by the General Assembly on the grounds of further investigation due to insufficient preparation. LUMIT, Malaysia was rejected by the General Assembly because AIPH experts thought that they did not have the conditions for bidding after on-the-spot investigation. Shenyang officially bid for the 2006 World Horticultural Exposition.
The level of Shenyang World Expo is A2+B 1. Main considerations for bidding for A2+B 1: Kunming is hosting the A 1 World Horticultural Exposition, which can only be held once every ten years in each country, and the application must be submitted 6- 12 years in advance. Category A2 is an international horticultural exposition, with an extension period of no more than 20 days, while category B 1 is a domestic horticultural exposition with international participation, with an extension period of up to 6 months. Choosing A2+B 1 is to combine A2' s internationality with Bl's long-term extension to form an international horticultural exposition with strong internationality and a six-month extension. This is the case with the Shizuoka World Expo in Japan. The 2006 China Shenyang World Expo will be held from May 1 day to 1 October1day, with a duration of 184 days.
Let's go back to the World Horticultural Exposition, which is an international horticultural exhibition approved by the International Horticultural Producers Association (AIPH). Up to now, the "World Garden Expo" has been held for more than 20 times, mostly in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, and only one session was held in developing countries, that is' 99 China Kunming World Horticultural Exposition. Because the "World Expo" can bring great international influence and comprehensive benefits to the host city, it has attracted many cities in the world to actively bid for it.
This exhibition is the world horticultural exposition with the widest area, the largest scale and the richest content so far. Here, the world's flower gardening is gathered, showing the infinite splendor of nature, which can be described as the world of nature; It is a grand view garden of the world, which brings together the artistic essence of various countries and shows the humanistic wonders of the world. The theme slogan of this exhibition is "Nature World, World Grand View Garden". The Expo Park is located in the scenic Qipanshan International Scenic Tourism Development Zone in Shenyang. The "Expo Park" extends northward on the basis of the original site of Shenyang Botanical Garden, and consists of a core garden of 246 hectares and a background area of 500 hectares.
Shenyang World Expo Park, the venue of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage Expo in Shenyang, China in 2007, will officially open on May 1 day, and plans to receive tourists100000.
According to reports, the four theme buildings of Shenyang World Expo Park, namely Phoenix Wing, Rose Garden, Lily Tower and Baihua Pavilion, will not change except Baihua Pavilion, which needs to display the contents of the World Heritage Expo. The 654.38+100000 square meters rose garden, which once attracted the attention of millions of tourists, will introduce some new tropical plants and exotic flowers and grasses on the basis of the original 3500 kinds of flowers, with the number exceeding 654.38+1005 million, which will still be the highest in the world in terms of scale, display varieties and quantity. According to the seasonal arrangement, ten flower shows, such as tulip, peony, lily, chrysanthemum and azalea, will be held as usual. According to experts in the garden, according to the characteristics of plant growth, after a year, flowers and plants gradually entered the best growth period. Therefore, compared with last year, the landscape of this year's Expo Park will be more colorful.
At the same time, the original performing arts content of Shenyang World Expo Park, such as Northeast Errenzhuan, Chua's flying car, float parade and ethnic customs, will also meet with tourists as scheduled.
The unique natural mountains and rivers in Qipanshan Scenic Area, the garden foundation of Shenyang Botanical Garden for more than 40 years, and more than 2,000 exotic plants have become the unique background and resources of the "World Expo Park". The World Expo Park is located between thousands of hectares of forests and oceans. Because the mountain is rising, the garden is built with the scenery, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is inside and outside. Won the World Horticultural Exposition famous design master Nick? Northam is known as "the only World Expo in the world".
The core area of Shenyang World Expo Park is the largest in history, and it is divided into three functional areas: main entrance square, southern area and northern area. The main landscape of the whole park is concentrated in 100 exhibition gardens, including 23 international exhibition gardens, 53 domestic exhibition gardens and 24 professional exhibition gardens. At the same time, there are four theme buildings: Phoenix Wing, Lily Tower, Complex, Rose Garden and Nature Garden. There are Russian national circus, Australian water stunt show, Shengjing horse racing, Chua's flying car climbing and Northeast characteristic duet, as well as many interactive sightseeing activities. Besides sightseeing, you can also enjoy entertainment programs.
In addition to admission to 50 yuan, there are other charges for the Expo Park, including climbing the Lily Tower 100 yuan, circus 30 yuan, speeding 20 yuan, horse racing 30 yuan, water show 10 yuan, and the transfer between two people in Northeast China is free. In addition, there are means of transportation, battery cars and small trains in the park, and the fare is not limited in 20 yuan, so there are so many charges in the park. The Shenyang World Expo also provides free tickets to many people, such as soldiers, primary school students and elderly people over 70.
At present, the road where our car is driving is a variable lane specially built to welcome the World Expo. This is a two-way eight-lane road. There are more people going to see the World Expo at noon, but in the afternoon it becomes six lanes and two lanes, and vice versa. This is a special lane change. Everyone is paying attention to the street lamps on both sides of the road, which are also unique. They are the counterparts of the lily shape of the landmark building of the World Expo. I gave you a simple explanation here, thank you.
Ok, here is the introduction. We are about to arrive at the main entrance of the Expo Park. Let's have a rest. We'll make an introduction after we get off the bus.
(Phoenix Square), all right, ladies and gentlemen, now we are at the main entrance of the Expo Park, Phoenix Square. Looking around, you can breathe the fragrance of flowers and grass, and there are flowers and oceans everywhere. The huge single building in front of us is the Phoenix Wing, with a building area of 4 168 square meters. The whole building weighs 140 tons, the main tower is 72 meters high, the phoenix wing is 2 10 meters long, and 10 stay cables run through it. The overall shape of the building is like a phoenix spreading its wings, symbolizing the revitalization and take-off of Shenyang. Below the main tower is a large musical fountain of 1000 square meters. The angle between the center of the tower and the ground is 76 degrees, which symbolizes 76 participating cities and is the first leaning tower in the world. If you don't fly, you will fly to the sky. This is the profound meaning of the phoenix spreading its wings. The whole building is unique and magnificent, like a phoenix spreading its wings, symbolizing the revitalization and take-off of Shenyang. After watching Phoenix spread its wings, we checked in and entered the park. Today, I mainly visited the north, and the south is mainly specialized parks, mostly plants and flowers. Because the south is the original botanical garden, our focus is on the north. Coming to the North District, the garden scenery is exquisite and the architectural styles are different. What is displayed here is not only the wonderful scenery, but also the achievements and achievements of world gardening. When we walk into the World Grand View Garden, while you and I are watching it, we should also pay attention to giving more valuable opinions! In front of us, we can see a small sculpture, which is our mascot of the World Expo-Yang Yang the Grey Magpie.
Let's go to the guide map first. The route we take today is to enter from the International Garden, visit the International Garden, the Northeast Garden, the Lily Tower, the Central Garden, the Rose Garden, the Baihua Pavilion and the West Garden respectively, and return to the main entrance. In this way, while enjoying the elegance of urban gardens, we looked at the world's largest rose greenhouse, the golden roses made of gold there, the Baihua Pavilion looking for potted clivia, and the largest single sculpture building in the world from under the lily tower. Well, please follow the guide into the international park. There are 23 national gardens in the International Garden, with 5 in the north 18 and the south. Before entering the international garden, we can see the first exhibition garden in China-Tianjin Garden, with the Nankai archway at the main entrance as the theme and the central building facade of Boling Building of Nankai University as the prototype. Fair play on the archway is part of the motto of Nankai University. Through the archway, we can see the bronze statue of Zhang Boling, the founder of Nankai University. Behind the bronze statue is an embossed wall standing by the water, which shows the brilliant achievements of Nankai in cultivating two prime ministers,/kloc-0 deputy prime ministers and 56 academicians of the two academies. Nankai University, founded in 19 19, is a key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education. It has trained a large number of outstanding talents such as Zhou Enlai, Chen Shengshen, Wu Dayou and Cao Yu, and made important contributions to national rejuvenation and national prosperity. In 2000, Nankai University was ranked as the national key construction university in 2 1 century. As a comprehensive research university with a full range of disciplines, Nankai University has established cooperation and exchange relations with more than 100 internationally renowned universities and international academic institutions, and achieved a number of outstanding scientific research achievements recognized at home and abroad. Nobel laureates Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Ding Zhaozhong and Robert? Mundell, former US Secretary of State Kissinger and former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung were appointed as honorary professors, and a group of well-known scholars and entrepreneurs at home and abroad served as part-time professors. The waterfall on the middle side of the garden falls into the pool water from natural rocks, which brings the shock and charm of the landscape and forms dynamic and static changes with the embossed wall. The planting design of the park emphasizes the change of levels and the enclosure of greening. The front area is dominated by low canna, and the back is dominated by large evergreen plants.
Then, we can see the Thai garden. The design of the garden is mainly a single-story wooden Thai pavilion. The spire goes straight into the sky, strewn at random. It looks like a village hut, simple and rich in connotation. There are tall coconut trees at the entrance of the park, which highlights the characteristics of tropical scenery in Southeast Asia. The design of the service road originates from nature, and its layout is in harmony with pavilions and plant landscapes, symbolizing that the Thai people advocate freedom. Portraits of the king and queen of Thailand are placed in the park, which represents the enthusiastic support and motivation of the Thai people for the royal family. Stage song and dance performances have promoted Thailand's colorful, unique and Buddhist-based music and dance programs, showing long-term respected beliefs and unique cultural values. The crocodile house over there is mainly crocodile skin products.
Next to Thailand Garden is Malaysia Garden, which is built by local traditional houses. Its characteristic is that the whole structure of the house is built on the pillars off the ground and the huge windows in the main part of the house. These are to keep the room cool and ventilated. The steep roofs of traditional houses are covered with palm leaves. Walls are usually made of bark or wood. The traditional houses in Malaysia were built to meet the needs of users under the conditions of underdeveloped early culture, then culture and tropical climate in Malaysia.
In order to meet the needs of modern people, this exhibition garden displays traditional Malay houses built with modern technology. It is different from real traditional houses, but its style is consistent with traditional Malay culture.
Next, we will pass the Greek Garden. The buildings here are mainly mazes. Don't go in because we are in a hurry! On the way, we saw the French garden, which was designed as a typical French courtyard with hedges at the entrance and exit, giving people a sense of mystery. Plastic plants, embroidery patterns and European sketches are symmetrically arranged in the park. The fountain on the axis is the visual focus of the park, and the performance of water increases the interest of the park. Moving on, we came to the Indian Garden, with the theme of "Buddha's enlightenment", trying to show Indian Buddhist culture through gardening. The center of the garden consists of a Buddha statue and a clear place where the Buddha preached and enlightened, providing a quiet atmosphere for tourists and bringing them closer to the Buddha. Colorful flowers and plants add a landscape effect to tranquility. There are four life-size bronze sculptures around the park, which maintain the charm of Indian art and culture. The theme of the designer is "Enlightenment from the Buddha", which is intended to let tourists not only enjoy the scenery, but also purify their hearts. Go to Bolivia Garden to show the ancient culture of American continent. The sun gate in the garden is made of a stone and an astronomical calendar. At night, bright light shines on the sun door, creating an ancient and mysterious color. The sculpture on the wall shows the scenery of the Andes in Bolivia: a ship with local style is sailing on the "Lake Titicaca".
Pass the Pakistan Music Park and turn right. We can visit North Korea, Japan and Myanmar respectively. Myanmar Garden consists of a gate decorated with plants and a beautiful red house. The style of the red house is a typical Burmese architectural style. The platform is inlaid with marble slabs, and most buildings and structures have unique woodcuts. In front of the building is a lake. The lake is shaped like two hearts, symbolizing the friendship between China and Myanmar. The shape of two hearts is a map of two countries. This shows that Myanmar-China relations are closely related to mutual assistance, friendly cooperation and traditional friendship. Myanmar woodcuts, stone carvings, jewels, sculptures, national costumes and some products are displayed in the building. There are all kinds of Burmese plants and flowers in the park.
The design of Japanese gardens aims to create a garden landscape with traditional Japanese style by using gardening materials such as mountains, stones, water and plants. The park is centered on artificial streams and water surfaces, and a bamboo dragon swims among them, which becomes the visual focus of the whole park. At the same time, through standing stones and piling hills, it imitates Japan's mountains, waters, seas and islands as an island country, from small to large. The garden road adopts back-swimming style, which allows tourists to walk around and change the scenery. The flowing water between the gravel, the bamboo, shrubs and rocks in the corner of the courtyard, the ancient stone slab bridge, the rock section and the thatched tea pavilion ... all show a simple and elegant freehand brushwork garden.
North Korea Garden is made of stone on the basis of ancient North Korea Garden, with imitation wood structure combined with modern technology. The garden is divided into four parts: in the first part, the entrance (porch) of the Korean garden is a typical cornice, bucket arch and convex building. The entrance is made of four stone heads, and the working part is blue tiles. On behalf of the Chinese and Korean peoples, the friendship is deep-rooted and will last forever. In the second part, the fountain in the center of North Korea Garden is composed of several spray pipes. China culture also has a very important position in Korean culture, and its moral is: "Different people have different opinions, and the wise have different opinions. The third part, North Korea Park Service Area-the whole building is a circular reinforced concrete structure. It is a multifunctional area for the whole park to convey Korean culture to tourists during the World Expo. The fourth part, pavilion area-also uses cornices and arches. It shows the whole picture of a Buddhist temple built in the 7th century near Gyeongju, North Korea. Before we leave, we can see the ice cream technology in Kenya and Turkey.
Well, at the end of the front is South Korea-Chengnan Garden, surrounded by antique walls and wooden pavilions representing Korea's long ancient culture. The form, texture and materials are all in the format of South Korea. Kimchi is indispensable for three meals a day in Korea, and the most important tool for processing kimchi is a clay pot, which embodies another cultural characteristic of Korea. The "male generals in the sky" and "female generals in the world" carved by the old gate and the whole log show the national spirit of South Korea.
On the left, Singapore Garden, with the terrain trend, forest belt as the background, Merlion sculpture as the center, and the concept of "Lion City", highlights the welcoming symbol of Merlion and clearly shows the local customs and gardening characteristics of Singapore. Merlion statue mainly embodies the comprehensive significance of Singapore fishermen's life and lion city.
Next, we came to the Northeast Exhibition Park, mainly the capital cities of the three northeastern provinces and Liaoning Province 14 city. First of all, we saw the garden of Jinzhou-Yiyuan Garden, with the strange mountains, famous pagodas and paleontological fossils as the background. Lu Yuan shows that Jinzhou is a corridor in western Liaoning, and the ancient pagoda of Jinzhou-Guangji Temple Tower is miniature and hidden among the trees. Vegetation, landscape and natural landscape mean that people live in harmony with nature. The whole park is not harmonious around, and tourists can enter the park from many places, which means that Jinzhou is open to the outside world in all directions and at many levels, and friends from all walks of life are welcome. Designers strive to appreciate the elegance and vulgarity of gardens and see the big from the small. Show the ancient Jinzhou, coastal Jinzhou, open Jinzhou and heroic Jinzhou in front of tourists.
On the left hand side is the Anshan Garden-Yuzhen Jinsheng Garden. The name of Yuzhen Jinsheng Garden is engraved on the top grade flower jade, which symbolizes Qian Shan with golden jade and shows the three cultural themes of Anshan iron and steel, jade and tourism. Choose brand-new gardening vocabulary to create the interest of the times and youthful melody of young cities. Horticultural materials are local jade, steel, pines and Nanguo pears, which highlight regional characteristics. In the open layout of the first half, the jade balls are placed on the map of Anshan, which is made of jade, in order to get the poetic taste of the jade plate and show the peaceful scene of the city. The dense vegetation is used as the background of the whole garden, and the seasonal changes of plants are used to enrich the landscape connotation of the garden. The giant sculpture "Rhyme of Steel" depicts the future of the city with realistic, miniature and abstract sculpture language, which is the core theme of the whole landscape. The gushing spring shows the flexibility of the garden.
