Park display

In the middle of the Green Expo Park, there is the landmark building of the Green Expo Park - the main exhibition hall. The main exhibition hall covers a total area of 15000 square meters. The building adopts steel structure, with 2 main floors and 5 local floors, 28 meters high. The shape of the building adopts different rules of long broken line shape, like a dragon flying high, like a green ribbon floating down the river, and has the abstract and concise sense of the times. The main exhibition hall is built near the water, the middle of the building is open, and the vast Yangtze River can be seen directly through the glass curtain wall.

Echoing the main exhibition hall is a huge exhibition greenhouse, with a total area of 5000 square meters. The building structure adopts glass curtain wall and emphasizes the concept of plant leaf vein in detail design to coordinate with the main exhibition hall. The greenhouse displays new and excellent plant varieties at home and abroad. It is a garden integrating appreciation, science popularization and horticulture. It is also an educational center for teenagers' social practice of science popularization.

According to the functional requirements, the greenhouse is divided into four exhibition areas. Considering the landscape, terrain, entrance and scattered entrance, each exhibition area is equipped with a secondary footpath. The order of tour is: potted plant area - Psammophyte area - tropical plant area - flower arrangement hall.

There is an ancient tree at the entrance of the potted plant area. Under the tree, there are stones, plum blossom stake scenery and famous potted plants. The area is also known as "new charm of Meidu". Nanjing, implicitly known as "Meidu", has rich historical and cultural heritage and beautiful modern urban landscape. At the same time, it uses lawn, terrain, stone and wooden platform for landscaping, integrating nearly 1000 potted plant exhibits from various places into the natural landscape It includes native and unique plant species, unique and rare plant species and plant species bred by new technology;

The exhibition area of Psammophyte area is a collection of rare tropical Psammophytes such as snow column, Bawangbian, wulunzhu, Tianchi and Jiangjun, as well as horse bones and bones of other large animals near the main sand dunes, which makes people feel like they are living in the desolate tropical desert. Therefore, the area is also named "journey to the desert".

Continue to walk deep into the exhibition hall, you can reach a tropical rainforest. The tropical plant area is composed of Alsophila spinulosa, coconut, Taraxacum, Meretrix, Bauhinia, bodhi tree and other plants. A stone statue of a python in the pool creates a mysterious atmosphere. Finally, you enter the flower arrangement hall with an area of about 500 square meters.

The greenhouse design creates four distinctive landscape pictures by means of sketch, slope, pool, stream and other landscaping techniques, which not only pays attention to the transition of visual effect in each exhibition area, but also endows each exhibition area with relatively independent landscape and mutual connection and contrast.

The climate conditions in Nanjing determine that it is a transitional zone between North and South plants. The survival of South and North plant varieties planted in the Green Expo Garden will be of great significance to solve the problem of single tree species in large-scale green landscape engineering. In addition, relying on the waterfront, the Bund is also located with three characteristic outdoor landscape gardens, which are the marshland garden, Hanxi garden and green home, with a total area of 59000 square meters.
