Venue introduction

GrandGallery

During the exhibition, it is the main venue for organizing a series of activities, such as high-level forum, academic seminar, technology and business exchange, featured cultural and art exhibition, performance, etc. it also undertakes the functions of indoor exhibition center, conference center, news center, reception service center, etc. The architectural design is based on the rose of Beijing city flower, with modern design concept to enhance the abstract. The scheme is called "the source of life". It starts from the main exhibition hall with a span of 75 meters, grows, spreads and radiates spirally, and finally integrates into the landscape of the park. The gradually blooming structure and undulating skyline give the building rich expression, just like a rose blooming in the jungle. In the design, it adopts a number of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, implements the concept of "green and low-carbon", strives to reduce future operating costs and realize the sustainable operation of the building.

Yongding tower

Standing on the Yingshan mountain in the Expo Garden, Yongding tower has a floor area of about 8000 square meters. When completed, it will be used for Yongding River historical and cultural exhibition. It is the highest national style antique tower in Beijing. Yongding tower is a wooden tower with the style of Liao and Jin Dynasties. The tower is 69.7 meters high and equipped with two sightseeing elevators. It will become an important landscape of Beijing International Horticultural Exposition. Visitors can have a panoramic view of the garden when they climb up and overlook it. Yongding tower has nine floors, octagonal plane and quadrangle courtyard. This group of figures in Yongding tower is composed of "four, eight and nine". Nine is the largest positive number in ancient Chinese culture, which represents infinity. In addition, the homophony of "Nine" is the same as "jiu", implying that the Garden Expo welcomes friends from all directions, and the great motherland enjoys long-term stability.

Jinxiu Valley

Jinxiu Valley used to be a part of the riverbed of Yongding River. It used to be a sand quarry, and later became a construction waste landfill. Until the preparation of the Expo, there is still a large sand pit with an area of 10 hectares and a depth of 30 meters. Taking advantage of the existing terrain, the designer transformed the existing landfill site into a sunken landscape garden, taking the essence of the traditional "Eight Sights of Yanjing" as its essence. There are Yantai grand view, Fenghuang Qingting, Yuntai emerald, yunfeixiaqi, Lvyu Huazhou, lintianxiaying, Caifang Yunjing and other scenic spots, as well as large-scale mountain and stone water, flower waterfall and other scenic spots, which have become the new highlights of ecological restoration of Beijing Garden Expo Beauty interprets the ecological concept of "turning decay into magic".

Rebuilding and opening up

On November 28, 2013, the Expo closed and the park was renovated. On April 1, 2014, Beijing Garden Expo Park was opened to Beijing citizens with a new look, with a ticket of 20 yuan per person.

characteristic

Beijing Garden Expo embodies the spatial layout of "one axis, two points, three belts and five gardens". One axis is the Garden Expo Axis running through the East and West; two points are the Garden Museum and Jinxiu valley; three belts are three green landscape corridors extending from "Fengtai garden west area of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park" to the Garden Expo; five gardens are five core exhibition areas with different characteristics, namely: traditional exhibition garden, modern exhibition garden, creative exhibition garden, ecological exhibition garden and international exhibition garden.

Beijing Garden Expo will build the first Chinese Garden Museum integrating various scientific and technological means in China, which will focus on displaying the new achievements of China's garden industry and the panorama and development platform of garden art. The construction of Beijing park Expo will adopt different ways to enhance interaction and participation, promote the concept of green ecological and environmental protection to the whole society, and show the scientific and rational use of new materials, new technologies and new processes of energy conservation and environmental protection, as well as low-carbon environmental protection technologies such as reclaimed water, solar energy and wind energy, which will also become a highlight of Beijing park Expo.

Yongding River reclaimed water helps Beijing Garden Expo

In May 2013, the 9th China International Garden Expo will be held in Beijing. Fortunately, the park Expo provides a new opportunity for harnessing the Yongding River. "Lugou Xiaoyue" was once one of the famous "Eight Sights of Yanjing" in Beijing. However, with the Yongding River drying up and ecological degradation for many years, this beautiful scenery has disappeared for 30 years. The dried up Yongding River once became the largest "sand source" of landfill and West Beijing. Beijing tried to harness the Yongding River many times, but failed to do so due to lack of water. In order to restore the river ecology, we can't do without "flowing water". With waterscape, we can reproduce the grand occasion of "Lugou Xiaoyue". But where does the water come from? In a city with a per capita water resource of only about 100 cubic meters, far below the national average level, it would be too "extravagant" to use fresh water to supply the Yongding River. "The Beijing section of Yongding River has been cut off for 30 years. It is reclaimed water that makes it come back to life." Deng ZhuoZhi, deputy chief engineer of Beijing water conservancy planning and Design Institute, said. The reporter learned that in the water resources allocation scheme proposed by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of water resources, the utilization of reclaimed water and rain flood has become the main force: 120 million cubic meters of reclaimed water are provided by Qinghe and Xiaohongmen reclaimed water plants, 2 million cubic meters of rain flood are used, and 10 million to 30 million cubic meters of standby water are provided by Guanting reservoir. "Before the reclaimed water from Qinghe reclaimed water plant was connected to Yongding River, Lugouqiao reclaimed water plant with a daily treatment capacity of 100000 tons and flushing water from south to North Water Diversion Project also played a role." Liu Xueyan, engineer of Beijing water conservancy planning and Design Institute, told reporters. Water alone is not enough. The water quality has to meet the standard. According to the local standards formulated by Beijing in 2012, the water quality is required to reach more than three kinds of standards in order to make people hydrophilic and play with water, while the reclaimed water treated by the reclaimed water plant can only reach four kinds of standards. "If the quality of reclaimed water after treatment is to be improved to more than three standards, the cost will be doubled. Liu Xueyan said. Therefore, the Beijing Municipal Institute of water resources planning and design specially designed the constructed wetland purification method, so that the water quality of Yuanbo Lake in the Expo can reach more than three kinds of standards. "The main pollutants are ammonia and nitrogen. The constructed wetland can play a role similar to the human kidney. Through the purification of the wetland, the excessive ammonia, nitrogen and other substances will be absorbed by aquatic plants and lake bottom fillers. Wei Wei, engineer of Beijing Municipal Institute of water resources planning and design, said that the water system of Beijing Olympic Park also adopted a similar design. After a series of scientific planning, design and renovation, Yongding River has been transformed before the Expo. Overlooking from the city, the five lakes, including Mencheng lake, Lianshi lake, Xiaoyue lake, Wanping lake and Yuanbo lake, are like five bright pearls inlaid in the west of Beijing. Only when water flows, can it become "living" water, maintain the purification function of water body and give full play to the ecological value of river. In order to make the water "live", Beijing has specially designed a circulation system composed of pumping stations and pipelines, namely "one line", to make the water of "five lakes" circulate and flow, which can save 25% to 30% of ecological water consumption every year. "The oxygen content of water can be increased by artificially designing the drop to make the water fall step by step." Wei Wei said. (reporter Zhang Huaijun / Beijing photo)
