Bamboo to be a special feature of Beijing Intl Horticulture Exhibition
Zhu Yujian, director of the Chinese Events Management Department at the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization, said the organization sought cooperation with Meishan to fully use its local elements, especially distinguished culture elements to combine bamboo with handcrafted weaving.
Zhu said the eye-catching pavilion includes a special outdoor ecological device to provide more convenience for upcoming visitors in summer.
Called the Air Tower, the 7-meter high round construction combines solar energy and wind energy to form a special ventilation layer, which will lower the temperature for tourists, she said.
Slated to open on April 29, the 162-day expo will display the latest achievements in floriculture and fruit, as well as vegetable farming worldwide, and is poised to impress an expected 16 million visitors from home and abroad.
