Centered as the landmark of 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition, the China Pavilion takes inspiration from Ruyi, a traditional Chinese jade ornament symbolizing good fortune, with the imagery of gliding along green meadows and rivers. Taking up a floor area of 23,000 square meters, China Pavilion will display a wide variety of plant species from across China and showcase the history of Chinese gardening and horticulture.

The design of the Chinese Pavilion echoes the expo's theme "live green, live better." With most of its earth-sheltered structure embedded in man-made terrace fields, both heat and humidity will be well preserved to save energy.
