The logo for the'99 lnternational Horticultural Exposition features a green flower, which
symbolizes all forms of life in the world, held inthe likeness of a hand. This lively, and
highly imaginative combination offlower and hand is evocative of the harmonious
relationship between man,and gives apt expression to the theme of the exposition:Man
and Nature-Matching into the 21st Century
The snob-nosed golden monkey, a rare species that
can be found only in Yunnan, runs towards us
with a bouquet of flowers in hand. This mascot, its personified image rendered in
vivacious colour and captivating liveliness, is an epitome of the hospitality of the
people of Yunnan who are ready to greet friends from every nook and cranny of the world.
