Record-expo Beijing ter markering van China’s 70-jarig bestaan
April 29, 2019 - October 7, 2019 - De Beijing Expo, de grootste internationale horticulturele tentoonstelling ooit gehouden, wordt het spektakelstuk van China’s festiviteiten ter viering van de 70e verjaardag van de oprichting van de communistische staat
The show, located in Yanqing on the outskirts of Beijing municipality, will open on April 29th and last for more than five months, according to the Economist newspaper.
Organisers say at least 16 million visitors are expected to attend the expo, with more than 100 countries and international organisations putting on displays.
Built by thousands of workers, the 960-hectare expo park is half as big again as the one made for the 2008 Olympics, which was previously the city’s record-setter.
