Under the "Snow Mountain" created by bamboo, you can check in Chengdu's micro landmarks, use MR technology and "small insects" in the garden to interact, and achieve a healing effect through the stimulation of the "five senses" of the human body by plants...... On the occasion of the three-day countdown to the World Horticultural Exhibition, various exhibition gardens brought by design companies, horticultural enterprises and the team of Tsinghua University displayed "flower work".
At present, 113 planned exhibition parks and 6 core venues at the main venue of the Chengdu World Horticultural Expo have been fully presented. It is worth mentioning that the total number of Chengdu World Horticultural Exhibition Parks, the number of overseas exhibition parks, and the number of association and enterprise exhibition parks in 2024 have all set a record for the largest number of Class B World Horticultural Expos. On April 22, Red Star News reporters walked into the main venue of the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exhibition in advance, visited the exhibition halls of many enterprises and universities, and revealed more highlights of the World Garden for everyone.
Chengdu Design Consulting Group Exhibition Park
"Snow Mountain" made of bamboo
There's a lot of green technology behind it
The theme of Chengdu Design Consulting Group's exhibition park is "Ingenuity and Wonderful Painting Park City", and the design simulates snow-capped mountains, circular waterscapes, mossy mountains, miniature landscapes, etc., to show Chengdu, a "park city under the snow-capped mountains".

Walking in the exhibition park, the public can see many "miniature" well-known landmarks in Chengdu made of 3D printing technology, such as Anshun Covered Bridge, Western Financial Innovation Center, Danjing Pavilion in Longquan Mountain, etc., "We also hope to present the representative works of the group in a refined and high-restoration manner, and make concrete expressions of Chengdu's traditional culture, economic vitality, ecological construction and other aspects of the city's characteristics." Xue Jingyi, a staff member of the exhibition park of Chengdu Design Consulting Group, introduced.
In this exhibition park, which covers an area of about 2,000 square meters, the most eye-catching thing is the main building that borrows the image of "Snow Mountain". According to Xue Jingyi, the surface of this wooden structure "Snow Mountain" is decorated with bamboo shapes, and PTFE material with all-weather self-cleaning is used, which is a near-zero-carbon wooden structure with a full life cycle.

The reporter learned that from the theme to the planning and design, the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exhibition has always adhered to the three principles of "green and low-carbon, economical and sustainable, sharing and inclusiveness", which is in line with the construction concept of the park city.
For example, all the structural systems of the building are prefabricated wood structures, and the structural components are pre-assembled in the factory to shorten the on-site construction period, reduce dust and reduce the impact on the environment during the construction process. In addition, the design also combines the height of the building, reserving high windows that open manually, and in the hot season, passive ventilation can achieve rapid convection and heat dissipation of indoor and outdoor air, improving indoor air quality.
Use virtual bonding technology
Let the audience interact with the "little insects".
Walking into the Pengding Garden Exhibition Garden, all kinds of insect sculptures are very distinctive, among which there is a pink earthworm sculpture at the entrance of the crop garden that attracts the attention of reporters.
Pengding Garden
According to Sun Miaofu, chairman of Chengdu Miaofu Modern Seedling Technology Co., Ltd., the project party of Pengding Garden, "earthworm" means Pengding Garden, "Earthworms are usually very hardworking, because they have been loosening the soil, just like many gardeners are silently paying." ”
It is reported that the Pengding Garden Exhibition Park covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, the original terrain is sloping, with a drop of three meters, so the platform landscaping is adopted, divided into three layers, and the three elements of "sky wings, submarine shells, and underground earthworms" represent three theme gardens, namely the chemical garden, the thinking garden, and the crop garden.
The theme of the design of the exhibition garden is "all things are one, and the virtual and the real are suitable", using the integration of science and technology and the interaction of characters, so that some scenes present the illusion of virtual and real. Small insect sculptures such as earthworms are combined with MR (Mixed Reality) technology, and visitors can scan the QR code of the mini program prepared by the park to see the small insects wriggling, flapping their wings or flying.

According to Sun Miaofu, there are many check-in points worth exploring in the entire exhibition park, "There are a total of 18 check-in points in the exhibition park, implanted with art, music, painting, poetry and other things, so the theme of the exhibition park is called the unity of all things, and citizens and tourists are welcome to come to check in and sightsee." ”
A garden that can "heal".
Stimulate with the five senses to stimulate the potential of the human organism
Lvkang Garden is the only exhibition park with the theme of "health" in this World Horticultural Expo. It is reported that the design concept originates from the latest human "green gene" hypothesis proposed by Professor Li Shuhua of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, setting up "six functional partitions" and five healing perception paths, activating the human body's "green gene" through the five senses experience of garden users, gardening operations and other activities, so as to achieve the purpose of improving and promoting physical and mental health.

Weng Xufeng, a teacher at the Green Therapy and Health Landscape Research Center of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, introduced that the entrance area of the exhibition park adopts the design technique of space conversion, using the turquoise landscape to create a quiet space, and the interior adopts the nearly 4-meter-high "L" shaped building exterior wall to simulate the indoor and outdoor boundaries of different places, and the handrails are set up near the window to assist in standing or exercising.
The Kangjian Garden Area is a venue for outdoor activities and fitness, and the Kangjian Terrace is equipped with raised planting beds, exercise trails with handrails, leisure seats, and rehabilitation training facilities with increasing difficulty.
The most interesting thing in the green garden is the five senses stimulation area. According to Xiang Pengtian, a doctoral student at the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, the five senses stimulation is the basis of horticultural therapy, the human body perceives things through the five senses, sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch, and the color, shape, sound, smell, taste and texture of plants will produce strong five senses stimulation to people, thereby stimulating the potential of the body and enhancing the perception of the human body.
For example, the visual experience area is characterized by an ecological landscape wall built by landscape stones and volcanic rocks, with a variety of dendrobiums planted on the wall, such as ferns, cold water flowers, etc., and plants such as paving cypress, flowering and leaf stones, creeping thyme, etc., are planted on the ground schist combined with fog spray, bringing a unique visual impact to people.
Lvkang Garden
"The garden selects more than 20 authentic medicinal materials from Weichuan and nearly 100 kinds of plants with the same origin as medicine and food, which can not only help users understand Chinese herbal medicine, but also carry out horticultural operations on related themes, improve the cultural literacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and empower the health of the whole people. Xiang Pengtian introduced that the creation of a natural healing exhibition garden is to allow everyone to enter the natural environment through contact with a variety of plants, enjoy the fun of mountains and forests, and relax through sight, smell and other sensory experiences. In the future, the demonstration garden of garden health care and horticultural therapy may also continue to be promoted, appearing on community street corners, nursing homes, hospitals and other places, so that people can enjoy a better life.
