Spring Festival opening hours and ticket information
What many friends are most concerned about is Is Nanjing Green Expo open during the Chinese New Year? This question.
According to the conventions formed in the past years and the announcements issued by the park management, the Green Expo Park will generally be open normally during the Spring Festival, and its main park will not charge tickets.
However, the opening hours of some venues in the garden, such as the exhibition greenhouse and some paid items in the children's sand play area, may be temporarily adjusted.
It is recommended that you confirm the specific arrangements for the day through official channels before departure.
The scope of the park is very vast. During the Spring Festival, the flow of people usually increases significantly. Before ten o'clock in the morning and after two o'clock in the afternoon, it is a slightly more comfortable time to visit.
A must-visit landmark building
When entering the Green Expo, the first thing you can’t miss is its iconic building. Main exhibition hall .
There is a building with a total area of 15,000 square meters. It uses a steel structure. The main part is two floors, but some parts are five floors. The height of the building is 28 meters.
Its shape is quite unique, taking the shape of an irregular long folded line. From a distance, it looks like a flying dragon with its head held high, or a green ribbon falling to the riverside.
The main exhibition hall is built next to the water, and its middle part is open to the open space. With the help of the huge glass curtain wall, you can directly see the vast Yangtze River.
A huge exhibition greenhouse with a total area of 5,000 square meters forms a long-distance echo with the main exhibition hall.
Regarding the glass curtain wall of the greenhouse, the concept of plant leaf veins is integrated into its detailed design. It is coordinated with the style of the main exhibition hall. In the greenhouse, rare plant species from various places at home and abroad are displayed.
Plant wonders in the exhibition greenhouse
This exhibition greenhouse integrates viewing, science popularization and gardening, and is an ideal base for young people in social practice education.
The greenhouse is divided into four exhibition areas in total, and the order of the tour is: the potted plant area arranged in pots, the plants in the sandy plant area that grow in a sandy environment, the plants in the tropical plant area under tropical climate conditions, and the flower arrangement hall used for flower arrangement display.
There is an ancient tree at the entrance to the potted plant area, and stones are placed under the tree. These stones are surrounded by plum blossom piles and famous potted plants, and this place is also called "Meidu Xinyun".
In the desert plant area, there are extremely rare tropical desert plants such as Chuixuezhu, Overlord's Whip, Wulunzhu, Tianchiru, and General, and there are also bones of horses and other large animals on display, which makes people feel like they are in an uninhabited tropical desert.
If you go deeper, you will reach a tropical rainforest, in which various plants such as cypress, coconut, palmetto, anemone, redbud, linden and other plants together form a mysterious tropical plant area, and there is a stone statue of a giant python in the pool.
The next thing you enter is the flower arrangement hall, which covers an area of about 500 square meters. In the four seasons of the year, different flower arrangement works are on display.

If you come to Green Expo with your children, you must go Children's sand play area have a look.
This area was built in 2013 and is based on the transformation of the original Hanxi Garden. Its total area is approximately 25,000 square meters.
The scenic area uses an artificial beach formed by a thick layer of yellow sand as the main body of the landscape. It is equipped with rock climbing activity areas, water play activity areas, and beach sports activity areas, which is extremely suitable for parent-child activities and beach sports.
If you want to experience a different exotic customs, then go Dutch Friendship Garden .
Located in the southwest corner of the Green Expo Park, it was built with funds invested by the Eindhoven Municipal Government in the Netherlands, and it also represents a symbol of friendly exchanges between the two cities.
The Dutch Garden, which covers an area of about 50,000 square meters, has a chapel, a windmill, a farmhouse, a watermill and other buildings. Tulips, the national flower of the Netherlands, and European flowers such as hyacinths are planted around it. Taking pictures there is very photogenic.
Riverside landscape belt and artistic fountain
The west side of the Green Expo is close to the Yangtze River, and the landscape along the river is worth a leisurely stroll.
The scenic spot is called the Left Bank Flower Sea. It covers a total area of about 60,000 square meters. More than 20 kinds of perennials and annual flowers such as sky blue sage, willow verbena, and coreopsis are planted. Different varieties of flowers are replaced in different seasons.

The total length of the riverside plank road is about 250 meters. The main way to visit is the wooden plank road bridge. Along the way, you can sit on the seats and enjoy the river view.
If you have enough time, you can go to the Art Fountain Square, which integrates fountains, performances and viewing, and uses modern technology to create a leisure and entertainment space that combines sound, light and electricity.
Generally speaking, there is such a place called Nanjing Green Expo, which is very suitable for the whole family to visit during the Chinese New Year.
The park has a very vast area and rich scenic spots, including a plant greenhouse with popular science education significance, a Dutch garden full of exotic customs, and a sand play area that is loved by children.
