The new southern section of the Shanghai Expo Culture Park opened with excitement and a flourish on Sept 20, featuring key attractions such as Twin Hills, the Shanghai Greenhouse and the World Flower Garden.

To celebrate the opening, the park is set to host activities including a photography exhibition and street performances. Some former Expo pavilions will be repurposed as venues for dining and exhibitions.

Highlights:

- Twin Hills, spanning 300,000 square meters, boasts two artificial mountains adorned with over 7,000 trees, along with a children's playground at the hills' base.

- The Shanghai Greenhouse offers tropical plant environments across three themed pavilions.

- The World Flower Garden showcases diverse floral displays in various garden sections.
