2010 Taipei International Floar Expo Opening

  After preparing for nearly four years and spending US$300 million, the Taipei City government pronounced the Taipei International Flora Exposition ready to go today in this winter, the day before its official opening. The six-month long expo, covering 91.8 hectares of parkland in the heart of the city, will feature approximately 800 species of Taiwan's world famous orchids, over 30 million stems of locally grown and developed plants, and garden designs from over 59 cities and 93 organizations.

 

  To celebrate the start of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Expo, Taipei City Government will be organizing a major firework spectacle at two separate locations on November 6 and amaze the world with Taiwan's "flower power."
