Speaking about their role, Xu Xiaolei, a spokesman for China Youth Travel Service, says: "We're mostly responsible for site operations, including pavilion management, ticketing and guest reception services."

And although most of the visitors are expected to buy tickets on site or book them one to three days in advance, more than 100,000 tickets have been locked up by the eager souls at the moment, says Xu.

As for the overseas representation, Xu says: "The participating countries and organizations will surely bring in their best, so the audience can feast their eyes on the offerings."

Meanwhile, the travel agency has developed different tour products for visitors, so they can enjoy more than 3,000 activities at the site, including music and art performance while viewing the gardening on display.

Hotels will also be available in the proximity to satisfy the demands of those who want to stay longer.

Separately, classes will also be available for those interested.

"They can listen to masters on gardening and learn how a seed turns into a flower," says Xu, who adds that the horticulture exhibition will enable both young people and adults to appreciate the beauty of life and the importance of environmental protection.

"It will surely have a positive influence on their attitudes toward life."
