Tulip show in Holland supports Beijing Olympics

Visitors to the famous tulip gardens at Keukenhof in Holland will find this year's international flower show unique. Much to their delight, the main display is a huge Chinese dragon made out of over 24,000 tulips. And the garden has made it clear the spectacular design is based on the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and celebrates Chinese culture.

The Chinese dragon proves to be the biggest surprise for those visiting Keukenhof's 59th International show.

The huge dragon measuring 10 by 15 meters is made out of 24,500 tulips.

And an Olympic flag is flying next to the main display, conveying good wishes for the first Summer Olympic Games to be held in China.

The combination is enough to excite all Chinese tourists and arouse a sense of pride.

Chinese tourists said, "Welcome to China, welcome to Beijing, I like Holland."

Chinese tourist Becky Chang said, "I like the Keukenhof garden especially this year as this is China's Olympic year. Here we can see a Chinese dragon and Chinese tourists like to come here."

Six million tulip bulbs bloom every year in Keukenhof. It's one of the most popular attractions in the Netherlands.

Willem-Alexander, the Prince of Orange and member of the International Olympic Committee opened this year's international flower show.
