More than 20 events are scheduled for the three-day festival, such as exhibition classes, promotion events, and forums.

In the first half of 2019, more than 900 million tourists visited China's forest areas, 14 percent up year-on-year. Forest tourism helps rural area's self-revitalization and realize the poverty alleviation.

Meanwhile, the State Administration of Forestry and Grassland announced on Aug 29 that the 2019 China Hefei Seedling and Flower Trade Fair will be held in Feixi county, Anhui province, also in East China, from October 18 to 20.
