In the morning of August 25, the Executive Committee of the 2024 Chengdu World  Horticultural Expo convened a virtual conference to provide an update on the progress of preparations to the China Flower Association. A total of 115 pavilions have been confirmed for the main venue of the expo, surpassing the scale of previous domestic Class B horticultural exhibitions. This impressive achievement garnered significant praise from leaders of the China Flower Association.

    "The Chengdu World Horticultural Expo's exhibition scale has now exceeded that of all previous domestic Class B exhibitions. This is indeed something to look forward to!" commented officials from the China Flower Association. The effectiveness of the preparations for the expo is noteworthy, with active participation from international cities, overseas associations, and corporations. This participation has far surpassed the AIPH requirements for the number of overseas pavilions in a Class B exhibition. They expressed their anticipation for an extraordinary floral and horticultural event showcasing an array of exotic splendors in Chengdu.

    As for the pavilion designs and construction progress, as of August 24, the Chengdu World  Horticultural Expo has received proposals for more than 90 pavilions. The process of refining these designs and preparing for construction is currently in full swing. Among these, pavilions from Shanghai, Yinchuan, Ningbo, Nanjing, and Lanzhou have already commenced construction. The remaining self-built pavilions are scheduled to complete their construction by no later than October 9.

    With the imminent opening of the World Horticultural Expo, the pace of venue construction is accelerating. At present, progress on public areas within the main venue of the Chengdu World Horticultural Expo is estimated to be around 70% complete. Peripheral infrastructure development is at approximately 65%. With the exception of the International Friendship Pavilion, the main structures of all core buildings have been erected. These structures are now entering the phase of equipment installation, as well as interior and exterior decorative work. Furthermore, the embankment of the Jiangxi River and the construction of three river-spanning bridges have been successfully finalized. Among the sub-venues, Xinjin is fully completed, while Wengjiang's construction is 90% finished. Progress on Pidu and Qionglai has exceeded 65%.
