Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center

The China Pavilion is free to enter. After passing through security, you'll need to collect your ticket and head up to the China Pavilion Plaza. There, you'll queue for the elevator, which takes you directly to the first floor of the China Pavilion. The pavilion has four floors, each dedicated to art exhibitions. The top floor, featuring the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" exhibition, requires an additional fee. The China Pavilion elevator is very long and tall, reaching the top. You can admire the captivating paintings of Chinese artists.

The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center is located at 1099 Guozhan Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China. Accessible by subway: China Art Museum Station (Exit 3) on Line 8, Yaohua Road Station (Exit 4) on Line 7, Line 8, or Shibo Avenue Station (Exit 4) on Line 13. This former Shanghai World Expo Pudong Theme Pavilion. The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center is a high-standard, modern, international exhibition venue with advanced facilities, a rational layout, energy-saving and environmentally friendly features, convenient transportation, and comprehensive functionality. It has a total construction area of approximately 129,000 square meters—80,000 square meters above ground and 49,000 square meters underground—and stands approximately 27.7 meters tall. Its design is inspired by the concept of "lilong" (along) and "dormer windows," employing origami techniques to create a three-dimensional structure that transforms a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional space. The roof mimics the characteristic dormer window, with its open front and sloping back, reflecting the charm of traditional Shanghai Shikumen architecture.

To the left of Expo Source is the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall, which happened to be hosting two exhibitions, namely the Home Expo and the Pet Products Exhibition. I was not very interested in either of these two exhibitions, so I left after taking a few quick glances.

It is also a new landmark in Shanghai. After the World Expo, only one axis and four pavilions remain, namely the Expo Axis, China National Pavilion, World Expo Theme Pavilion, World Expo Center and World Expo Cultural Center, which are five iconic permanent buildings.

The Expo Axis is the central landscape axis of the Expo Park, connecting the main passages of several other pavilions and was once the main entrance and exit of the World Expo.

The China Pavilion is primarily dedicated to art exhibitions, which was incredibly boring for a beginner like me without any artistic talent. After taking photos at the entrance, I headed straight to the top floor (the building structure and elevator are also quite interesting 😂). The painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" inside the pavilion is quite impressive. The dynamic painting is very lively, and it even includes a night view of Bianjing. I also want to recommend the World Expo Museum (which seems a bit off topic). The building is huge, and with so much to offer, it could take me hours to explore.

The site of the former China Pavilion has now been converted into a memorial hall for tourists to visit.

Anyone who witnessed the 2010 World Expo will undoubtedly feel a sense of dreariness walking through the Expo Park, now that only one axis and four pavilions remain. The China Pavilion was undoubtedly the crowning jewel of that year's exhibition, but the grandeur of the numerous and diverse pavilions from various countries cannot be matched. While the China Pavilion still occasionally hosts exhibitions, and it seems the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painting still remains there, and the Mercedes Center still hosts various competitions and performances, it is still a single focal point, and the surrounding area is much less popular. However, one upside is that, with fewer people, it's now a great place for running.

I didn't come during the Shanghai World Expo. Now the government has compiled some of the highlights together, introducing the history of the Expo, and exhibiting it in the Expo Museum for everyone to visit and learn about. When I went there, they didn't charge admission yet and there weren't many people.

The magnificent China Pavilion, a collection of buildings with unique characteristics from around the world. Performances at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

It's very big inside, with a lot of introductions and not many people.

The photos were taken during the World Expo. The various pavilions helped to enrich my knowledge. The barbecue, I forgot which country it was from, was especially delicious.

The Shanghai World Expo seven years ago left an indelible impression on me. Most of the temporary pavilions have been demolished, leaving only the China Pavilion (now the China Art Museum), the Saudi Arabia Pavilion (Moon Boat), the Italian Pavilion, the City Footprints Pavilion, the Baosteel Grand Stage (Expo Grand Stage), and the Performing Arts Center (Mercedes-Benz Arena). The interiors of the remaining pavilions have also changed. I can only recall BETTER CITY BETTER LIFE through the photos I took back then.

The perfect fusion of cultural heritage and modern business society

You must go and experience it. The key point is that it is free to visit with an ID card. There are many art exhibitions inside. You can bring your children and family to cultivate artistic sentiment. It is a good experience. The entire building outside is also very majestic, beautiful and special.

You still have to see what exhibitions are on before you go, otherwise there may not be anything there.

The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center is a high-standard, modern, international exhibition venue with advanced facilities, reasonable layout, energy conservation and environmental protection, convenient transportation and complete functions.

Outside: skeleton structure, red coat; inside: white walls with paintings, and roads connected layer by layer. I like to wander around aimlessly inside and pass by every painting.

Traveling during the Spring Festival is a new trend.

The 2010 World Expo is still fresh in my memory. It is now a permanent exhibition hall, suitable for leisure, dining, sightseeing, etc.

A place where you can learn more about other countries, and many of the furnishings and ornaments inside are very touching.

There is a Chinese Pavilion inside! There is a dynamic Qingming Shanghe Tu! It is very spectacular and worth seeing!

The Expo Pavilion was actually only visible from the outside, as many things had already been removed. Due to time constraints, we just walked around the outside of the China Pavilion.

The China Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo was truly remarkable. No matter how long I waited in line, it was worth it. I felt so proud...

In fact, it is best to visit the Expo in the morning, when the sun is not so strong and the queues and the flow of people are more appropriate. Tickets: Expo tickets (can be booked in advance, which I only found out later)

There were quite a few people on Sunday, so my friend and I thought we could learn a lot. But there were so many exhibits. It was fine for a while, but after looking at them for a while, we got really sleepy. It seems we're not cut out for this! Art should be taught from a young age, so bring your kids along...

The 2010 Shanghai World Expo will embrace the concept of a "harmonious city," echoing Shanghai Television's public service announcement, "Harmonious City, Music of the Soul," which calls for "better cities, better lives." The concept of "harmony" is embedded in ancient Chinese culture. Chinese culture values harmony among people, harmony between man and nature, and harmony between body and mind.

Unlike most people, I am interested in Puxi, and the Japan Industrial Pavilion and the Coca-Cola Pavilion left the deepest impression on me.

My parents woke me up early in the morning before I woke up and took me to see the World Expo Park, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the aquarium. I was still young at that time and felt very tired and confused. I didn’t know what I saw. Now when I think about it, I only have a vague impression.

I found a brother and a sister, and the three of us took a train from Mianyang to Shanghai and played for two days.

Walking between the buildings, thinking of the unknown city of Saudi Arabia in the distance, come here and fly over Arabia.

There's nothing interesting to see in the museum! I went there just for the reputation!

The China Pavilion is free! It is closed on Mondays!

The World Expo—this is a place that I have absolutely no interest in. The TV shows us queues, queues, and queues. Some say that if you don’t come to the World Expo, you won’t regret it, but if you come, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is also my opinion. I came to this place that is not even on my list of “places I want to go”. This place is nothing more than people, the pavilions built by people, and the queues formed by people. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

I found the Expo Park unexpectedly beautiful. There was a short film that was so positive that it made me cry... I felt a red flame of passion burning in my heart...

It's a very nice place. The local characteristics of many countries are fully displayed. The Chinese Pavilion is very majestic and well done.

Although it is not particularly outstanding as a tourist attraction, the queues are long, and the things inside feel very much like a museum, but as soon as I walked into this kind of exhibition hall or expo park, I liked the buildings, and the magnificent music aroused my latent patriotic feelings.

I think the World Expo Museum is truly worth a visit, regardless of whether you have artistic talent or not. There are exhibitions of paintings, photography, films, sculptures, and more, and you can learn a lot about China, Shanghai, history, and human nature, interpreting and expressing your own thoughts through each piece of art.

The Expo Park is vast, with direct subway access. Besides the China Pavilion, the more notable ones are the Saudi Arabian Pavilion (Moon Boat) and the Italian Pavilion. I probably just passed by the other pavilions and didn't pay much attention. However, the architecture of the Expo Park is quite impressive and visually striking.

Many buildings at the Shanghai World Expo were demolished, so I had no choice but to look around. I went to the Saudi Arabia Pavilion and took a walk around. The ticket was 60 yuan. It looked like a flying saucer from the outside. It felt like watching a "movie" when I walked in. Then I left.

Even though I missed the Expo, it was nice to see some of the buildings in person.

In the afternoon, we went to the China Pavilion at the World Expo. The pavilion now displays works by famous artists and is free to enter. Several other pavilions around it have been renovated and opened. It wasn't crowded, so it was a good place to take photos and have fun.

One of the things I'm most proud of in my life is going to the Expo, despite the dangers of being squeezed to death and exhausted. The truth is... I'd regret not going, but I'd regret going even more!!!

After the World Expo, it is not so scary here, so it is worth a visit. It feels good to appreciate the architecture of many countries. The supporting facilities are very complete.

The summer vacation of 2010 was really crazy. It was packed with people. I only got into two big museums in the whole day. Sigh...

La la la, I don’t even know where this place is. I love Shanghai! There are so many delicious foods! ! ! !

I went to the China Pavilion and the Saudi Pavilion (Moon Boat). The movie in the Saudi Pavilion is worth watching, but the whole place is desolate.

I went to the Expo for several days. There were so many things to see and queue up for, but it was still very rewarding.

It used to be crowded with people, but now it is a wasteland, and the occasional exhibition hall that has been preserved is not very popular.

I really like this series of exhibition halls. Thanks to the World Expo, it has left behind so many highlights. Thumbs up.

Currently, visitors can only visit the China Pavilion, and the most interesting piece is the Qingming Shanghe Tu (along the riverside scene). The dynamic Qingming Shanghe Tu is a major attraction in the "Footprints of the East" section of the China Pavilion. How does it "move"? The reporter asked Crystal Stone Digital Technology Co., Ltd., the exhibit's organizer. Yu Zheng, the head of Crystal Stone, answered not with technology, but with numbers: The dynamic Qingming Shanghe Tu is based on the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Shanghe Tu. It is 6.3 meters high and over 130 meters long, about 30 times the size of the original painting.

I was in my third year of high school when the World Expo was held in Shanghai. I was so disappointed that I didn't get to go. When I did go back, the British Pavilion, which I loved, had already been demolished. But I still admired the Italian and Arab Pavilions. Each country had its own unique characteristics.

The Netherlands Pavilion and the UK Pavilion have been demolished for more than half.

Having finally gotten a day off, we flew from Tianjin to Shanghai, ready to experience the event in person. We lined up early in the morning, and it was impossible to see where the head of the line was. That's when those colorful folding stools became popular, haha. My husband and I were excited about the German Pavilion, so we headed there first. During the long wait, we were caught in a downpour, soaking wet! While it certainly dampened our excitement, it didn't dampen our enthusiasm for the event happening right here on our doorstep.

After admiring the French Pavilion, which was so timid it was impossible to be mistaken, and the British Pavilion, which was so timid it was impossible to be recognized, the Italian Pavilion, another national pavilion renowned for its romance, was ahead. This pavilion is undoubtedly loved by everyone, as it resembles a miniature city, showcasing Italian scenes from classic films: the sweet yet melancholic Sicily, fragrant street cafes, ancient and romantic city squares, and alleyways reminiscent of Shanghai's longtangs. A key feature of this country, known for its handsome men and beautiful women, is that the concierge staff at this exhibition will be dressed in specially designed uniforms by Prada to serve visitors. Even the silver crossbody shoulder bag that comes with the uniforms is made from Prada's classic parachute canvas collection. The daily arts program also perpetuates this Italian romance: the musical "Romeo and Juliet," the Riva Music Festival closing gala, the Italian Jazz Festival, and other cultural performances.

France, this romantic country, naturally has a couple game as its primary attraction. As long as couples come to visit in wedding attire, regardless of whether they have registered their marriage or not, they can get a unique and exquisite souvenir for free. Couples can also draw lots on the spot, and the lucky winners can travel around France for a week for free!



Speaking of which, in this country of sensuality, don't these games give people a unique feeling? Throughout the Expo, the French firmly grasped the keyword "sensibility," shaping the French Pavilion into a "sensual city" that constantly pays attention to the different senses. The seven art treasures that have been transported from France to China, the authentic French cuisine, and Alain Delon's personal visit to the French Pavilion at the Expo—all these features make it impossible not to relax and enjoy the most primitive sensory pleasure.

The Spanish, like the Chinese, are skilled in rattan weaving. This year's pavilion is clad entirely in rattan panels, creating elegant lines. Chinese characters are even formed on the walls, forming a uniquely creative poem. Upon entering the Spanish Pavilion, visitors will first watch a seven-minute film exploring the origins of Spanish urban culture and witnessing its transformation from modern times to the present. There are also countless surprises on offer: Chef Pietro Larrube, winner of the Spanish National Gastronomy Award, will serve up Spanish specialties. Over 60 Spanish artists, traveling from far and wide, will perform a performance of "Spanish Passion," including, of course, the sensual and captivating flamenco.

Meet the Little Mermaid.



Bicycles, the Little Mermaid, the Ubitz, Danish sincerity...

Exterior view of the Nepal Pavilion

This pavilion is none other than the Swiss Pavilion. It's the only pavilion where you can take a cable car tour of the Shanghai World Expo. Here, you can admire the Swiss countryside from the rooftop garden and gaze out over the Huangpu River. A gentle breeze blows, and beneath your feet, a cable car descends from the Alps, spiraling upwards. Don't you feel like you're the only two people left in the world?

Malaysian stuff.

It would be nice to have one to store food... I like things made of rattan.

The French Pavilion was not demolished

Does this picture give you the feeling of outer space?

I couldn't help but say a few words.



The lazy Italians brought with them all the best of Venetian civilization.



So, even after more than half a year, I still remember the shock I felt at that time.



Starting from the initial design of the exhibition hall for alley games, the splendor of the Renaissance, pasta, wine, fashion, high heels, the romance of the water city of Venice, the artistic atmosphere of the fashion capital Milan, as well as racing cars and Italy's cutting-edge high-tech...



Suddenly I realized that Italians have too much to be proud of.

The big rat in the French Pavilion reminded me of the story about the big rat from foreign countries that my father told me when I was a child.

It seems to be the Saudi Arabia Pavilion and the Indian Pavilion

Haha, you know where the Trojan Horse is without me having to tell you.

Actually, I don’t know what the meaning of these children’s faces is. Is it the oil paint of Paris, the art capital?

I vaguely remember it being the New Zealand Pavilion, but I'm not sure.



Who cares? The feeling of porridge and the water flowing in a place like this brings the coolness of summer and sweeps away the heat.

After exiting the French Pavilion, just across the road is the British Pavilion. Nicknamed "Dandelion," this structure, like the Japanese Pavilion, appears to be alive, as if you can already hear its gentle breathing even before you approach. Interestingly, each of the pavilion's tentacles contains seeds from the Kew Millennium Seed Bank, a collaboration between the Royal Botanic Gardens, Royal Botanic Gardens, and the Kunming Institute of Botany. After the Expo, these seeds will be retrieved and germinated on Chinese campuses. Sounds pretty romantic, right?

African Pavilion

Opposite the Spanish Pavilion is the Belgium-EU Pavilion. If the sexy dance moves in the Spanish Pavilion are a must-see for men, then the content of the Belgium-EU Pavilion is a must-see for women.



1. The eternal brilliance of diamonds



The exhibition hall features 10 of the most prestigious diamond jewels from the Antwerp Diamond Museum, as well as the world-renowned ECC trophy—a diamond tennis racket valued at over €1 million, crafted from 6 kilograms of gold and 1,600 diamonds. There's also a "loose diamond room" and a daily two-hour diamond polishing demonstration. Every Saturday, there's a live raffle where the winner takes home a Belgian diamond!



2. Free distribution of Belgian chocolate



25,000 individually wrapped Belgian chocolates will be available for free tasting every day.

Cute doll~~I really want to smash the glass and take one home.
