Chongqing Flower Garden

　　Chongqing Flower Garden is situated in the northern new urban area of Chongqing. It lies to the east of Jiangbei Guanyinqiao, to the west it connects via Shimen Bridge to Shapingba, to the north it is linked with Hongshi Road, and to the south offers elevated views. The location enjoys excellent transportation access—just 3 km from Yuzhong District and 17 km from Jiangbei Airport. Covering an area of over 15 hectares, it officially opened to visitors in March 1993. By the end of 2001, it was designated as a first-class municipal park by the city government. Chongqing Flower Garden is a comprehensive botanical garden integrating flower and plant exhibitions, displays, science education, amusement, and leisure. It has successfully hosted multiple editions of flower festivals, earning widespread acclaim from all sectors of society. “Go to Flower Garden to see tulips” has become a popular springtime activity among residents.

　　The Baili Flower Corridor project in Yubei District, Chongqing, is located in a prime area of the district, adjacent to the Chongqing Northern New Town Development Zone. This project is planned along both sides of the Chongqing Airport Expressway and the Yubei Expressway. The northern and southern ends of the corridor are 3 km and 50 km from downtown Chongqing respectively, and just 2 km from the Cuntan Deep Water Port. Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport is situated at the central section of the corridor. National Highways 210, 212, and 319, the Chongqing-Qianjiang Expressway, and the Chongqing-Huaihua Railway all run through the area, highlighting its significant geographical advantages and convenient land, sea, and air transport links. The corridor enjoys a mild climate, abundant rainfall, a long frost-free period, fertile land, and well-developed infrastructure including water, electricity, roads, and communications—making it an ideal place for domestic and international businesses to develop the floral industry. Within the corridor lies a key municipal project: the Chongqing Modern Agricultural Park. The project site—Yubei District—is known as a “Chongqing Landscape Gardening District” and a “Chongqing Environmental Protection Model District.” It has a long history of floral development and is the birthplace of Sichuan-style floriculture.

　　The project is planned to cover 20,000 mu by 2005 and reach a total scale of 50,000 mu by 2010. Emphasizing high starting points, high standards, and high efficiency, the project is structured around four major functional areas: flower production zones, sightseeing and leisure areas, flower wholesale markets, and management service areas. The flower production zone is further divided into six sub-zones: premium turf production, first-grade landscaping seedlings, health-oriented flowers, cut flowers, edible flowers, and container-grown flowers. Key developments include fresh cut flowers, container flowers, turf, flower seedlings, edible flowers, health flowers, landscaping seedlings, and flower markets. The Flower Corridor project adheres to market orientation, focusing on establishing integrated systems for production, processing, services, and sales. A completely new development model is adopted, featuring unified leadership, unified land leasing, unified investment attraction and sub-leasing, and unified management. A diversified investment approach and a “one-stop” service management mechanism are implemented. Strong efforts are made to attract business investment, aiming to build the corridor into an urban modern agricultural base that combines ecological agriculture, floral horticulture, and sightseeing leisure.

　　Chongqing Flower Garden is a multifunctional, modern-style garden integrating sightseeing and entertainment, scientific research and education, and demonstration planting. The garden showcases the main floral plants of the Chongqing area as well as some rare and precious flowers from around the world. It features rich floral diversity, innovative garden layouts, and distinct regional characteristics.
