The launching ceremony of Luosuo River Bridge & Western Entrance was grandly held on August 6.
Leaders and officials of CAS institutions and Xishuangbanna local governments were present. President Zhang Zhuangxin of CAS Kunming Branch, Vice Governor Chen Qizhong of Xishaungbanna prefecture government, and Director Chen Jin of XTBG delivered warm opening speeches. Afterwards, relevant leaders cut the red ribbons for the launching of the new bridge and new entrance.
The completion of the Luosuo River Bridge and Western Entrance has reduced the river crossing time, which is much more convenient for visitors and connection with the Kunming-Bangkok road. It is also an important step for the strategic planning of “Scientific research promoting tourism while tourism serving scientific research, so as to bring XTBG into a first-class botanical in the world”.
After the launching ceremony, officials and leaders were invited to look around the Garden, especially the newly established and reconstructed living collections.
