The 2011 Xi'an International Horticultural Exposition opened on Thursday April 28, which is another major international event that China is holding after the Beijing Olympics and Shanghai World Expo.

Chang'an Tower, Theme Pavilion, Greenhouse and Guangyun Entrance are the four landscapes of the expo. Among them, the most eye-catching is the Chang'an Tower, a reflection of the essence of Chinese architectural culture and modern, trendy urban features.
