The Hibiscus Flower International Cultural Exhibition was held Oct. 24-30 at the main exhibition hall of the main venue of International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu (the Expo), highlighting the hibiscus-themed paintings, ICH items, creative art works and derivatives.

Yang Xuening, an artist specializing in hibiscus flowers and director of Chengdu Research Institute of the Hibiscus Culture, was proud that he had his works watched by visitors at the exhibition.

“Hibiscus is the city flower of Chengdu and the theme flower of the Expo,” Yang noted, “It bears a special connotation to put the hibiscus-themed works on display at the Expo.”

With the development of building the Park City, the hibiscus flower is gaining popularity among local citizens and more significance in cultural development of the city.
