Let's walk into the Expo Chengdu, catch a glimpse of their splendor, and witness the beauty of the Oriental horticulture in the beautiful city of Tianfu, with its national style and elegant rhythm.

Hao Lei, a famous Chinese actress who has appeared in many TV series and films, is known as the “uncrowned king” of the film and television by netizens. Her shooting locations were mainly in the Chengdu Garden and Beijing Garden of the Expo Chengdu, and combined with the Sichuan Opera, an intangible cultural heritage project，to add more Sichuan colors to the set.

Famous actress Mao Xiaotong is the perfect choice to interpret the summer theme, with her sweet image bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer. The main color of the summer-themed blockbuster is green, and the greenery of Jinling Garden and the bamboo bridge in the Bamboo Dream Space of the Expo are the main locations for interpreting the summer's refreshing lotus.

Famous actress Jiang Xin, who played Consort Hua in Legend of Zhen Huan, once had the catchphrase “The maple leaves are not red enough, but the summer is always red”. The Expo invited Jiang Xin to shoot a fall-themed blockbuster, which is also Jiang Xin's first attempt at Chinese style shooting, but from the point of view of the out-of-circle effect, this shooting is undoubtedly very successful.

Famous actress Wu Junmei, who played the role of Imperial Consort “Erdette Wenxiu” in Italian director Bertolucci's Oscar-winning film “The Last Emperor,” she is a life member of the Oscar jury and has a very high status among actors. She was invited to interpret the winter-themed blockbuster of the Expo, and left her figure at the entrance of the Chengdu Park. The photo below was taken by Chinese photographer Wu Haiyong.
