An allium garden in Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province has recently been opened to the public. And the garden marks the fifth anniversary of a joint allium research project between China and Uzbekistan. The Kunming Center of the China-Uzbekistan Global Allium Garden was launched in 2018 to collect, conserve and exhibit allium, as well as support allium research, utilization and public education. Recently, scientists from both countries gathered in the city to mark the project's fifth anniversary and discuss biodiversity protection.
