Chenshan Botanical Garden recently launched an activity on its official micro-blog, also known as weibo, to give away free tickets to the International Science and Arts Exhibition 2013.

Anyone who reposted the themed post, 'Grab the International Science and Arts Exhibition 2013?tickets', from the official weibo to their own weibo and informed five friends had a chance to win two free tickets to the Shanghai International Science and Art Exhibition 2013.

This activity lasted from August 23 to 29, and two winners were selected randomly at 4 pm every day. The weibo has attracted hundreds of followers. Fans also actively expressed their own thoughts on botany and science.
