Kunming World Horticultural Expo Garden
昆明世界园艺博览园
The former site of the 1999 World Horticultural Exposition. It brings together provincial gardens from across China and national gardens from around the world, making it Kunming's largest garden attraction.
The Expo Garden covers about 218 hectares. It preserves the China Pavilion, the Human and Nature Pavilion, and the large greenhouse from the 1999 Kunming Expo, along with provincial and city gardens and national gardens such as the Shanghai Pearl Garden and the Israel Garden. There are also large flower squares, a tea garden, and a bamboo garden. The paths rise and fall, so you can take an electric shuttle to the main attractions. Admission is about 80 yuan, and a half-day is recommended. Take Metro Line 2 or a bus, and combine the visit with the Golden Temple and Kunming Botanical Garden.
