In addition, exhibition parks for 31 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and 17 domestic enterprises are also complete.
The Xingyan Expressway, which links downtown Beijing and Yanqing district, officially opened to traffic at the beginning of the year, aiming to draw more visitors. About 20,000 parking spots have been created around the Expo area.
