濟南國際園博會閉幕但不落幕，又站在新的起點上。

閉幕式上，張建國將園博會會旗交給仇保興，重慶市副市長凌月明接過會旗，標志著在中國中西部城市舉辦的第一次園博會即將拉開序幕。

China (Jinan) International GardenFlower Expo closed but never ended for it has stood in a brand new departure point.

The 7th China (Jinan) International GardenFlower Expo closed on the morning of May 8 after successfully finished its exhibition undertakings in nearly 8 months.

Opened on September 22， 2009， the 7th Garden Flower Expo is themed at “inheriting culture and scientific development.” Taking as its notion “inheriting and creating， people-oriented， as well as ecological harmony and sustainable development”， this Expo highlights the features of “culture， water， flower， creation， broadness and harmony” to present the garden essence， include multiple culture and embody cooperation and win-win strategy. 91 cities and organizations from 23 countries and regions participated in this Expo and 108 outdoor exhibition parks were built. The present cities， exhibition gardens numbers and construction level were better than that of any other Flower Garden Expo. Thus， a new record of “integrating five continents， and covering the whole nation” was broken， and a beautiful environment of “harmony between humankind and water， culture， living conditions as well as the inter-human relationship” was created. Up to now， Jinan Garden Show Park has received over 1 million visitors in China and abroad and was favorably commented by visitors and people from all walks of life.
