Among all the international parks at the Xi'an International Horticultural Expo, the Africa Park impresses visitors with its unique architecture of national features and its variety of souvenirs. Varied and colorful exotic features are displayed throughout the park including palm trees of primeval forests, mango trees, colored drawing walls of abstract painting created by Nigerian contemporary artists, African masks and totems hanging on the walls - outlining a particular Nigerian style of "desert - savanna - tropical rainforest". Visiting this section of the expo will feel like walking through an African market where local specialties and handicrafts are sold. The most popular product is the giraffe ornament made by dyed dry coconut tree leaves banded together. Stone carvings, potteries, African drums, ore ornaments and various arts and crafts will overwhelm you. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this expo. Edited by Fu Bo and Tania Lee |
