Shenyang China International Horticultural Exposition 2006 (2006中国沈阳世界园艺博览会) was a horticultural exhibition recognised by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (as AIPH class A2/B1) [Note 1] in Shenyang, China [1]
The exposition was originally approved in September 2004. [2]
The exposition was held at the Qipanshan Mountain International Scenery and Tourism Development Zone, a recreation resort east of Shenyang, and extended from May 1 to October 31, 2006. [3] It took up some 246 hectares, larger than any previous international horticultural exposition. [3] Organizers said the exposition was "the only international horticultural garden in the forest." [4] The exposition comprised four major structures, three landscape zones, and 100 smaller gardens. [4] The structures included the 72-metre sculpture "Wing of Phoenix", a Rose Garden greenhouse of 3,300 roses, the 125-metre "Tower of Lily", and the main exhibition hall with 12,000 square metres of space.
