As the winter sun rises above the city of Jincheng, the pavilion called Sanhua (lit: scattered blossoms) is bathed in shining rays of light, looking as if it is trying to contend with the sun. Portrayed in a poem by renowned Chinese poet Li Bai, this scene took place during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in what is today Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province. Now, after more than 1,000 years, Chinese architects are working to restore this grand scene ahead of the 2024 World Horticultural Exposition.
