In the last year of the twentieth century a new "garden of gardens", the World Horti-Expo Garden was built in Kunming, in the province of Yunnan, the capital of southwest China Yunnan. The garden was built to foster a social awareness of the harmonious existence between man and nature and to share with everyone a collection of the world's greatest natural treasures. The World Horti-Expo Garden is the venue for what will be the last global gardening event of twentieth century, the China '99 Kunming.
World Horti-Expo Garden is located in the north suburbs of Kunming next to the Golden Temple scenic spot that is just 6 kilometers from the city.

The garden is now divided into the China Hall, the International Hall, the "Man and Nature" Hall, the Science and Technology Hall and the Greenhouse. The China Hall is composed of 34 sections according to China's provinces and regions, while the International Hall is comprised of 30 sections. As an international botanical garden incorporating educational and recreational activities in one location, the Expo '99 has emerged as a significant Kunming landmark.
