Roses and triangular plum blossoms are blooming, the water is murmuring, pavilions, starry sky and tree houses are scattered. Wenjiang Branch of Chengdu International Horticultural Exposition, Sichuan style bonsai with different postures is located between plants and trees, beside the flowing water, outlining a beautiful and unique landscape painting.

"A garden art axis with a total length of 2.2 kilometers has been built here." Shi Xiurong, the person in charge of the Wenjiang branch venue, said that the overall layout of the Wenjiang branch venue is divided into "one garden, one axis and one museum". In addition to the garden art axis, it also includes two parts: the flower art garden and the bonsai art museum, focusing on displaying new varieties of flowers, bonsai intangible cultural heritage, etc.

Walking in the flowers, a breeze blew, and a hot fragrance suddenly passed, which made the reporter curious. Follow the smell and soon see a "hotpot park". The round table was placed in the pavilion by the lake, almost full; Fireworks hot pot and elegant gardening are very interesting together.

"The restaurant was started in March last year, and the dining scene is the biggest feature. Some are on the lakeside pavilion, some are beside the flowing water and rocks, and some are in the 'space capsule' on the tree." Zhou Hang, general manager of the ancient and modern mountain forest hotpot park, told reporters that since its trial operation on April 18 this year, the number of people who eat in the restaurant has been around 2000 every day, "In the future, this place will be built into a new tourism consumption scene integrating rural tourism, music performance and hot pot cuisine".

Today, landscape gardens add energy to consumption. "We build a garden ecological quality consumption area with the concept of 'gardens become scenic spots and parks become scenic spots', and deeply integrate the food culture with the garden landscape." Following Shi Xiurong, the reporter also saw a number of small stores, such as under the tree coffee, and the outside of the store was using Chinese bonsai, with mountains, water, gardens, and forests forming an interesting and refreshing contrast.

The holding of the Expo also brought a spring breeze to the flower industry in Chengdu. A number of venues have built a new consumption scene of diversified integration of agriculture, commerce, culture and tourism. In the Spring Flower Paradise, Pidu branch venue, the International Flower Brand Museum, the Flower Gardening Scene Museum, and the Contemporary Flower Art Museum, flowers bloom everywhere, extending to various theme pavilions, and tourists take photos and punch cards in an endless stream.

Don't forget to buy flowers. Trucks full of flowers shuttled back and forth, and more than 600 businesses settled in the Pidu branch spring flower market, bringing more than 30000 categories of "high beauty" products such as flowers and green plants.

Pidu Butterfly Village, close to Spring Flower Paradise, has become very popular recently. Walking into the business street, many young couples in formal clothes walked forward hand in hand, busy selecting a good place surrounded by flowers to take photos. Butterfly Village has built an industrial belt integrating characteristic commercial blocks and marriage services. Marriage registration, wedding planning, wedding photography and other services are available. In the past month, about 630000 people have entered the Pidu branch of the Expo, with a total turnover of nearly 150 million yuan.

Wearing a Han suit, buying a summer cloth Sichuan fan, listening to the resounding cry between the square and the city, tourists started a "time-space travel" in the Chengdu Expo market. The tradition of holding professional fairs according to the monthly order has been passed down in Chengdu for thousands of years, and the landscape advantages of the Expo have been used flexibly to create a "national tide December City". Fan City in May, Fragrant City in June... Sichuan's specialties are dazzling, cultural and creative products are new and brilliant, tourists are full of interest, and they stop to choose one after another.

The consumption scene and garden landscape complement each other step by step, and the Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition promotes the flow into consumption increment.
