The floral display is an inaugural collaboration with Shanghai Gardens Group, drawing inspiration from Jiangnan Gardens, known for their tranquil harmony and classical beauty.

Every detail is designed to immerse visitors in the poetic grace and philosophical depth of classical Chinese garden aesthetics.

Visitors are also invited to strike the Blooming Drum of Spring, adorned with the Baoxiang Flower motif, to usher in good fortune. According to the auspicious saying Hua Gu Ming Chun (花鼓鸣春), beating flower drums heralds the arrival of spring, making this festive experience both symbolic and interactive.
