The 2014 Qingdao International Horticultural Expo opens in April and runs through October, 2014. The park will remain open to the public after then, though the country exhibits will be changed into more permanent recreational facilities.

To get there, head out north from the Old Stone Man area in Laoshan district on Songling Lu, and keep going until it changes into Binhai Da Dao (Highway) – the expo site is on the left along the highway. The photo here shows native Qingdaonese Janette driving past the site’s front gate on Binhai Da Dao in Laoshan’s Beizhai area of Qingdao.
