The 2022 World Horticultural Expo in Almere of the Netherlands opened on April 14. With its unique style integrating traditional Chinese culture and modern craftsmanship, "Chinese Bamboo Garden" has attracted much attention among more than 30 national pavilions during this Expo.

　　Covering an area of 4,200 square meters, "China Bamboo Garden" is the largest national pavilion in this Expo. Focusing on the theme of "Developing a Green City", "China Bamboo Garden" uses new types of bamboo engineering materials and techniques to create a garden in southern China featuring "flowers and bamboos adding beauty to each other", showing the world a beautiful picture of China that integrates traditional culture and modern craftsmanship.
