The 34 Domestic Outdoor Exhibition Area is spacious and magnificent, including the gardens of the 31 provinces in China, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, Hong Kong and Macao Special Administration Regions and Taiwan. There are two green belts running from south to north symbolizing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River (Huang He). The gardens of the provinces not only display the natural beauty, but also the local culture, religion and constructions of various places. Some typical gardens are the graceful Wanchun Garden (Beijing), the elegant Xiaoxiang Garden (Hunan Province), the modern Bio Garden (Fujian Province), the special Ningchun Garden (Ningxia) and the delicate Shanshui Garden (Guangxi, Shanshui means water and mountains).

The International Outdoor Exposition Garden is a great place for people to enjoy the traditional culture of ancient Asian gardens, the ocean culture of European gardens, the harmonious and straightforward immigrant culture and primitive culture in the American garden and the Australian-flavored Oceania Garden.
