"This year's expo in Suzhou showcases the true integration of Chinese culture and wisdom by permeating ancient gardening culture with innovations pertinent to modern life," says Shanghai Academy of Landscape's architectural science and planning director, Zhang Lang.

"It's full of life's hidden beauty. This allows us to zoom in on the cultural component of city life."

An exhibition at the event separate from botany showcases 70 places in Suzhou acclaimed for intangible cultural heritage.

The horticulture exhibition should remain true to real life after the show since the venue will be used as a public park or resort once the expo is done, organizers hope.

"The event will not only leave a legacy of ecological gardening for locals but also will advance Suzhou's horticulture to create a more sustainable city," Li says.

The country's breakneck development necessitates a fusion of modern architecture into gardening traditions to conjure cities with cultural foundations, he says.

"Chinese cities should retain the in-depth exploration of traditional culture and absorb the advanced concepts from Western countries to create a horticultural living environment," Zhang says.

The central government has introduced policies to encourage cities and regions to add more horticultural components into urban life.
