Final-stage preparations for the upcoming 5th China International Import Expo are well under way, with a beautiful environment promised and efforts to lure business investment in full swing, the Qingpu District government announced on Wednesday.

The district is home to the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), where the CIIE will be held from November 5 to 10.

"A great environment will be created to welcome the opening of the 5th CIIE with a 'visual feast' of floral landscape presented in a 1-square-kilometer key area around the center," Mo Linming, deputy director of the Qingpu District Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, told a press conference on Wednesday.

In total, 140,000 pots of flowers such as red sage and zinnia covering 4,100 square meters have been planted, and Zhuguang Road, Laigang Road and Yinggang Road E. have been decorated with floral pillars and balls.

Twelve vertical landscape walls have been erected along Zhuguang Road.

Under the south overpass of Zhuguang Road, maple and acer palmatum have been planted, turning a grey area into a colorful one with a Jiangnan-style flavor with its blend of landscape decorations.

A brilliant night view will be presented with lights along Songze Avenue, Yinggang Road E. and Zhuguang Road, and Laigang Road switched on during the expo, presenting a rainbow of blossoming flower scenery.

"A festive atmosphere will be created, with the center surrounded by a sea of flowers," Mo stated.
