Some 74 km from the centre of Beijing, the most frequented part of the great wall in Badaling is backed by a basin of Yanqing Hills where an international gardening exhibition was opened covering the largest area in the history of world exhibitions so far. As it has often characterized international exhibitions from the very beginnings, its opening is associated with a historical anniversary, this time being the declaration of the People’s Republic of China 70 years ago.
