CANGZHOU, China, June 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The 6th Hebei Province (Cangzhou) Garden Expo kicked off on May 26 in Cangzhou, the north China city prospering from the canal. A total of 19 activities in five categories, including academic exchanges, gardening, skill competitions and cultural exhibitions, will be presented through the end of August, according to the Cangzhou municipal government.
With the theme “Thousand miles of thoroughfare, great beauty of the Grand Canal”, the exhibition aims to display the culture of Cangzhou Grand Canal, display garden art, and promote ecological civilization comprehensively from site selection, planning, construction and various plans of cultural activities.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a world cultural heritage site, runs through the Exhibition Park from north to south. Cangzhou has elaborately built a scenic belt of the Grand Canal — a city exhibition park and a specialized plant exhibition on both banks.
Last year, the Cangzhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal sailed again, connecting this cultural beauty with the Exhibition Park, bringing all-round tourism for visitors. In recent years, while building the Exhibition Park along the Grand Canal, Cangzhou recreated the historic Nanchuan and Langyin buildings on both sides.
The China Grand Canal Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall is the most prominent exhibition venue along the Grand Canal. The Hall displays Cangzhou’s unique and diverse folk arts, allowing visitors to fully experience the charm of the Grand Canal while appreciating modern garden art.
The natural ecological landscape, intangible cultural heritage is organically integrated with the architecture and landscape of the Exhibition Park courtyard, and has become a dazzling pearl in the 216-kilometre Grand Canal scenic belt in the central area of ??Cangzhou.
This year’s Garden Art Exhibition and Urban Planning and Design Competition will be held at the Cangzhou Dahua Industrial Heritage Cultural Zone. Adjacent to Garden Expo Park, the Zone is also a virtual node for this year’s Garden Exposition, which was originally one of 13 chemical fertilizer plants built in the early 1970s.
It is reported that since 2017, the Hebei Province Provincial Garden Fairs and the Five Garden Expos have expanded the green park space by 13,050 mu (about 2,150 acres) for the host cities.
Cangzhou is a city that thrives on canals. Stretching for more than 200 kilometers, the Grand Canal watercourse is well-preserved and there are numerous historical relics along the canal.
