Guangzhou to Build Asia's Largest Greenhouse

A French company has won the bid to design the Exhibition Greenhouse of South China Botanical Garden, the largest of its kind in Asia.

The 100 million yuan, about 12 million US dollar landmark greenhouse for South China's Guangzhou city, will be called the "Kapok Petal", named after a municipal flower.

It will cover an area of 7,600 square meters, and will include a model of the Amazon River, scenes of tropical rainforests and primitive ecological environment.
