The expo will last until Oct. 7. More than 2,500 cultural activities will be held during the period, with an estimated 16 million visitors from around the world.

"The Beijing horticultural expo is a special green carnival and a dialogue between man and nature, inspiring people to integrate horticulture with life," said Jiang Zehui, chairperson of the China Flower Association.

"China has led the way in promoting green development. It is clear that the Chinese government supports ecologically sensitive development in order to create a 'Beautiful China,'" said Bernard Oosterom, president of the International Association of Horticultural Producers, at the opening ceremony.

The International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing is the largest event of its kind in human history.
