✨ Featured Kapok Highlights
The kapok, also known as the "hero flower," is a central motif of this year's expo, with several standout displays:
"Guang · Kapok" Art Installation: Located at Huacheng Square, this is one of the most iconic pieces. The installation uses 15 sleek components, each shaped like the Chinese character "广" (Guang), to form a giant, three-dimensional kapok flower. The mascots for the 15th National Games, "Xi Yangyang" and "Le Rongrong," stand atop the structure, perfectly merging the city's floral emblem with the spirit of the sports event.
Giant Kapok at Haixinsha: For a stunning photo opportunity, head to Haixinsha where you can find impressive giant kapok flower displays. A popular tip is to find the right angle to capture the kapok with the Canton Tower in the background.
A Symbol of Heroism: The choice of the kapok is deeply symbolic. The flower represents heroism in local culture, and its use throughout the expo is a tribute to Guangzhou's identity as a "heroic city." The displays are designed not just for beauty but also to carry forward the heroic spirit of the city.

Beyond the kapok, the Garden Expo offers a rich variety of horticultural and cultural experiences:
