Corals from Gulangyu, an island off the coast of Xiamen in East China’s Fujian province, will debut at the Fujian pavilion at the 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition from July 26 to Sept 10, local media reported.

Gulangyu corals, together with columnar cacti, will be used to build an underwater coral world adorned with images of fish, crab, shells, conch, and other marine creatures under a gorgeous light.

Bugainvillea speetabilis, the city flower of Xiamen, is also expected to embellish the Fujian pavilion as a symbol of the garden city.

The design perfectly echoes the expo’s theme –Live Green, Live Better.

The 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition opened to the public on April 29 at the foot of the Great Wall and will last until Oct 7.

More than 110 countries and international organizations, as well as 120 nongovernmental organizations and provincial or local exhibitors, are showing their latest floricultural techniques in 100 gardens.
