The three pavilions will keep their original looks, while a square will be retained at the UK Pavilion, the main part of which has been dismantled.

"The compound will become a platform for cultural, business and social exchanges between China and Europe," Ding Hao, president of the Expo Development Group, told the city's top political advisors yesterday.

The 6,000-square-meter Italy Pavilion will have modern and historic exhibitions and business halls.

Exhibits will range from a replica of Michelangelo's David and relics of the ancient city of Pompeii to products from famous Italian brands, Wei Jianhua, an official with the group, told the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

A top Italian fashion academy will open a training center in the Luxemburg Pavilion opposite, Wei said.

The 5,000-square-meter Dutch Pavilion will have racing car simulators for visitors, while a parking lot for 100 vehicles will be built near the UK Pavilion square.

Also at the Expo site, 28 office buildings will be built in the former Zone B area as the headquarters of more than 10 state-owned enterprises.

And the city is to build the country's first hotel cluster, with 1,200 rooms, in front of the Expo Center. By 2015, this will include two five-star hotels and two boutique hotels. ]]> Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:31:47 MST admin EXPO 2010 3 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/pavilions-to-reopen-as-unified-complex-shanghai-daily-%7C-%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E6%97%A5%E6%8A%A5-english-window-to-china-new/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/taobao-chaos-after-fee-rise-protest-shanghai-daily-%7C-%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E6%97%A5%E6%8A%A5-english-window-to-china-new/

The Expo Culture Center, where the opening and closing ceremonies were held, also opened yesterday.

People can see more than 200 Expo pavilions in Pudong from Shibo Avenue, the main route on the Pudong side as well as the Guozhan, Huafeng, Xueye, Zhoujiadu, Hongshan, Yinan, Shiboguan and Shibocun roads.

However, wire fences and concrete walls have been set up around most pavilions to prevent public access where the exhibits are being removed.

Most pavilions have yet to be dismantled because the Expo organizer has asked to slow down demolition work to avoid turning the site into a construction site. Some major pavilions, such as those of Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Italy and Russia will remain.

The China Pavilion received more than 60,000 visitors over the weekend, almost as many as when it first reopened on December 1. Visitors had to wait for more than 2 hours on average to enter the pavilion yesterday.

Shanghai residents were advised to avoid visiting the site during the three-day holiday break because of the large numbers of visitors from outside the city, Qian Zhiguang, deputy director of the China Pavilion, said.

He said visitors would be able to enter the pavilion without waiting after 2pm on weekdays after the holiday, which ends today.

More than 600 volunteers from local universities started work yesterday to help visitors at the China Pavilion.

The Expo Culture Center on Shibo Avenue is open from 10am to 10pm every day. Many visitors climbed to the sixth floor of the seashell-shaped venue along the Huangpu River to take pictures of the Expo site.

An outer ring-shaped corridor on the floor and a public ice-skating rink underground that were popular among Expo visitors will reopen soon.

Five cinemas, seating 682 people, began screening the latest movies from yesterday.

The National Basketball Association's pre-season games, stage shows and concerts will be played in the 18,000-seat main stage of the center. ]]> Sun, 02 Jan 2011 20:20:38 MST admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/queuing-again-at-expo-site-shanghai-daily-%7C-%C3%A4%C2%B8%C5%A0%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%B7%C3%A6%E2%80%94%C2%A5%C3%A6%C5%A0%C2%A5-/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/china-expo-pavilion-to-reopen-on-december-1/
Visitors will be charged 20 yuan for entry.

According to the Expo organizers, the "Crown of the East", as the China Pavilion is known, will retain all its features from the Expo, which drew to a close on Oct 31.

A new exhibition will be added at the structure's waiting area, where visitors will get an idea of how the building was constructed.

The pavilion will be open to visitors from 9 am to 5 pm daily.

"Hamburg hoped the building could become a part of Shanghai and will continue to open to the public," Lars Anke, director of the pavilion, said during a press conference?yesterday.

He said the 570-square-meter building, the only one in China capable of creating a perfect indoor climate without air conditioning, will be incorporated into the post-Expo development of the site.

While many foreign participants are busy packing up, the Germans will take away only a few items because most of their pavilions, exhibits and building materials have found uses in the city. ]]> Fri, 12 Nov 2010 00:39:28 MST admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/hamburg-expo-building-to-stay/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/expo-shanghai-some-foreign-pavilions-may-stay/
Some countries have expressed hopes that their pavilions would be kept in the city and experts have been evaluating which should be retained, said Shanghai Party chief Yu Zhengsheng. However, he did not specify which pavilions were on the list.

All the foreign pavilions should be dismantled after each World Expo, according to stipulation of the International Exposition Bureau, the governing body of the World Expo, but Yu said the city could make exceptions.

"If some countries are willing to present the pavilions to the Expo organizer and their pavilions are worth retaining, the city can negotiate with them," Yu said. ]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:05:14 MST admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/expo-shanghai-some-foreign-pavilions-may-stay/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/search-for-jobs-begins-after-expo-shanghai-daily-%7C-%C3%A4%C2%B8%C5%A0%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%B7%C3%A6%E2%80%94%C2%A5%C3%A6%C5%A0%C2%A5-/
The fair's organizer, the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, aimed to help nearly 20,000 Expo workers and volunteers to find new jobs. Although a large portion of the 25,000-plus job seekers had no connection with the Expo.

Most companies did not appear to care whether applicants had Expo experience.

Any Expo workers who fail to find a job in one or two months, will be recommended to employers by the bureau until they get hired.

Besides Expo workers, university graduates who had served as Expo volunteers appear to be popular choices among employers. ]]> Wed, 03 Nov 2010 19:24:09 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/search-for-jobs-begins-after-expo-shanghai-daily-%7C-%C3%A4%C2%B8%C5%A0%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%B7%C3%A6%E2%80%94%C2%A5%C3%A6%C5%A0%C2%A5-/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/expo-participants-issue-shanghai-declaration/
The Shanghai Declaration is also "an expression of the shared aspirations of people around the world for a 'Better City, Better Life'," according to the statement released at the Summit Forum on the sidelines of the expo, which is set to conclude later today.

The participants came to consensus, through exhibitions of pavilions, showcases of urban best practices and exchanges, that people's understanding and pursuit of a better life are both the foundations and the engines of urban development.

It is necessary to re-examine the relationship between people, cities and the planet, said the statement.

They pledged to build cities that forge harmony between diverse people, between development and environment and between cultural legacies and future innovations.

The declaration also proposed that October 31, the closing day of the World Expo 2010, should be nominated as World Better Cities Day, in a bid to recall, renew and advance ideas and practices of the Shanghai Expo for future development.

The Expo opened on May 1 in Shanghai, China's financial hub, for a six-month run with the theme of "Better City, Better Life", with 246 countries and international organizations taking part.

Since the Expo opened on May 1, there have been more than 72 million visitors, a record high in the Expo history.

Following is the full text of the Shanghai Declaration of the World Expo 2010 jointly issued on October 31, 2010 by participant nations, regions and international organizations at the Summit Forum on the sidelines of the Expo, which is set to conclude later today.

World Expo 2010 Shanghai China

Shanghai Declaration

31 October 2010

We, participants and friends from all reaches of the globe, drawn by the theme "Better City, Better Life," have gathered in Shanghai and jointly fashioned the first World Expo in a developing country organized under the auspices of the Bureau International des Expositions. During these 184 days, we have explored, envisioned and simulated the mosaic of urban life through the wonderful exhibitions of the pavilions, the instructive showcases of urban best practices, the in-depth intellectual exchanges in the forums and the brilliant cultural events.

We have come to realize that people's understanding and pursuit of a better life are both the foundations and the engines of urban development.

We are also convinced that it is necessary to re-examine the relationship between people, cities and our planet.

We agree that, in tackling the challenges of urban development, innovation offers solutions and the concept of "Cities of Harmony" embodies our dreams.

At present, with more than half of humankind living in cities, our planet has entered the urban age. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have offered to humanity the abundant fruits of modern civilization, but at the same time they have brought unprecedented challenges. Population explosion, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource shortages, urban poverty and cultural conflicts are becoming urban problems with a global scope. For historical and current reasons, these phenomena are especially prominent in many developing countries. The Shanghai Expo responded to the times by selecting cities as its theme. It also introduced the first-ever Urban Best Practices Area and Virtual Expo to pursue a ground-breaking exploration of the possible solutions to the common dilemmas faced by humankind. ]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2010 06:57:09 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/expo-participants-issue-shanghai-declaration/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/shanghai-summit-forum-sustainable-development-in-focus/
Care for the environment, investment in green energy, prudent financial regulations and better academic research and development are among the keys to creating a sustainable city, forum participants said yesterday.

"Science is ready for green energy but there's still very little investment in the sector when compared with the output of the energy industry," said Carlo Rubbia, scientific director of the Germany-based Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies and also a Nobel Laureate in Physics. "It's not only a scientific issue, but political, economic and financial as well."

More investment should be directed into research and development of green energy to achieve sustainable growth, he said.

Tu Weiming, a Peking University professor, said the idea of sustainable development is not new. Tu said ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius always stressed a harmonious balance between people and nature, but the concept hasn't been fully implemented yet. ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:25:18 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/shanghai-summit-forum-sustainable-development-in-focus/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/discorso-integrale-di-wen-jiabao-al-shanghai-summit-forum-evento-di-chiusura-dellexpo-di-shanghai/
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Expo 2010 Shanghai China is coming to close. This is an Expo that has attracted worldwide attention. Under the theme of "Better City, Better Life", the Expo has put on display the splendid achievements of contemporary civilizations, pooled human wisdom in exploring the path of urban development, set many Expo-related records, and added a glorious chapter to the Expo history.

Expo 2010 Shanghai has been a successful event. A total of 246 official participants, including 190 countries and 56 international organizations, have taken part in this Expo, more than in any previous Expo. Since 1 May, there have been more than 70 million visits to the Expo, another record number in the Expo history. People form around the world streamed to the Expo Site situated along the beautiful Huangpu River. Undeterred by the searing heat or soaking rain, they waited patiently in long lines to witness this much anticipated event. For the first time, an Online Expo was launched, opening a new window for more people to be part of the Expo. Through such extensive participation, Expo 2010 Shanghai has truly brought together people around the globe.

Expo 2010 Shanghai has been a splendid event. The Expo Site, which covers about six square kilometers, is like a global village. Here, you can find a rich variety of structures, each with its distinct and exquisite style, the British Pavilion resembling a huge dandelion dancing in the breeze, the Canadian Pavilion in the shape of a maple leaf, and the Saudi Pavilion which looks like a sailing treasure boat. And they all speak to the best of human ingenuity. Here, you can see on display rare cultural treasures of the world: the bronze chariot and horse sculpture from China’s Warring States period, the statue of Athena from Greece, the masterpieces of French impressionist painters, the Litter Mermaid from Denmark and the Aldabra giant tortoises from the Seychelles. They are truly a feast to the eyes. Here, over 100 cultural performances were staged every day. Through a total of more than 20,000 cultural events, visitors got a taste of the quintessence of the world’s diverse cultures and found it a rewarding cultural experience. Here political leaders, business people, government officials, experts and scholars gathered together at the series of Expo Forums to share insightful vies an discuss the future of the world, firing people with imagination and inspiration. All this has made Expo 2010 Shanghai an encyclopedia lying open on the land and a magnificent painting showcasing the integration and harmony of diverse cultures..... ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:21:55 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/discorso-integrale-di-wen-jiabao-al-shanghai-summit-forum-evento-di-chiusura-dellexpo-di-shanghai/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/leaders-praise-expo-shanghai-at-summit-forum-closing-events-and-shanghai-declaration/
"Only when civilization accomplishments are sublimated to spirits and sensibility, can they be the mutual treasures of all human kind and be carried on forever," said Wen.

The Shanghai Expo is a golden opportunity for Chinese to learn from the experiences and expertise of other nations as "one day Expo visit outweighs 10-year of reading," he said.

High-tech products like chef or butler robots, green energy autos, and energy-saving architectures are all showcased during the 184-day exhibition, while cultural treasures such as French impressionist paintings, the Little Mermaid from Denmark, Aldabra giant tortoise from Seychelles and bronze chariot and horse sculpture from China's Warring States period are among must-sees on the six-square-kilometer Expo Site, he said. ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:04:03 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/leaders-praise-expo-shanghai-at-summit-forum-closing-events-and-shanghai-declaration/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/saudi-arabia-pavilion/ THEME Blending of Diverse Cultures in the City

Expo visitors will take a virtual flying carpet ride through mythical and modern Saudi Arabia as they tour the Saudi Pavilion. Themed "Vitality of Life," the metallic, crescent-shaped boat pavilion covers an area of 6000 square meters and has three floors, with its "hull" supported by pillars such that it hangs 20 meters above ground. The pavilion lies at the heart of the Expo site in the direction of Mecca. Around 150 Saudi date palms will be planted on the roof of the pavilion to create a desert oasis, while traditional performances accompanied by drinks and treats add a magical touch to a whole new world.

The Saudi exhibition is characterized by five themes: water, oil, knowledge, individuality and the future. On the first floor, a prosperous and modern Saudi Arabia is presented; on the second floor, a 360-degree 1,600-square-meter cinema screen, probably the largest 3D IMAX Theater in the world, will take visitors to Saudi's oases, deserts, villages, seas and cities with their modern architecture and traditional bazaars; and on the third floor, the roof garden will be a place of harmony and charm where visitors can relax.

Souvenir shops and restaurants are located at the lobby, and small souvenirs will also be given to departing visitors. ]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:11:48 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/saudi-arabia-pavilion/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/puxi-pavilions-in-demand-shanghai-daily-%7C-%C3%A4%C2%B8%C5%A0%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%B7%C3%A6%E2%80%94%C2%A5%C3%A6%C5%A0%C2%A5-/
At the beginning, corporate pavilions and the Urban Best Practices Area in Puxi were somewhat shunned as people flocked to the national pavilions at Expo's Pudong site.

Now the UBPA and corporate pavilions are attracting about 350,000 total visits each day.

Many of the pavilions, in zones D and E, have seen daily attendance increase several times since the beginning of the fair.

Chen Chao, director of both zones, told Shanghai Daily yesterday that the change is the result of a gradual learning process among both visitors and the people managing pavilions along with positive word of mouth.

Chen said the pavilions have improved presentations and added more to exhibits to help people better understand the concepts and keep them interested.

The Hamburg House, also known as the "Passive House," now offers more tours, helping visitors understand the high-tech pavilion and how it keeps the temperature around 25 degrees Celsius without air conditioning. Before the tours were launched, visitors didn't understand what the pavilion was about.

Oliver Hayakawa, director of the Liverpool Pavilion, said visitors now average around 5,000 people each day, a big jump from the 1,000 back in May. To attract visitors and keep them focused, the pavilion cut its film from 8 minutes to 3 minutes and added some interactive games to entertain people.

Chen Xing, 27, from Tianjin, said the interactive sections - including singing songs by the Beatles, playing soccer and answering questions to win gifts - were a lot of fun.

The China State Shipbuilding Corporate Pavilion yesterday became the first on the Puxi side of the Expo site to attract 5 million visitors.

Gong Hanming, the pavilion's vice director, said nearly 40,000 visitors enter every day, up from the 10,000 plus in May. Gong said they have improved service and offered more activities to attract people to the pavilion.

He said they have captains telling stories, which children love, inside the pavilion. He also said they added seats in the queuing area and offer free slippers to women wearing high heels.

In addition, word of mouth has spread, drawing more people to the UBPA and corporate pavilions.

The Oil Pavilion has surpassed the Saudi Arabia Pavilion for the longest wait to enter after visitors gave thumbs up reviews to its 4D movie. ]]> Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:49:15 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/puxi-pavilions-in-demand-shanghai-daily-%7C-%C3%A4%C2%B8%C5%A0%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%B7%C3%A6%E2%80%94%C2%A5%C3%A6%C5%A0%C2%A5-/ http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/thailand-pavilion-expo-shanghai/ THEME Thainess : Sustainable Ways of Life

The Thailand Pavilion has been painted red and gold, among other colors, to create a beautiful backdrop. The pavilion's mascot, "Tai," a cute, friendly and cheerful child-giant, will welcome visitors at the entrance. On the roof of the pavilion, a clock of friendship speaks for the 35 years of diplomatic ties between China and Thailand.

The exhibition is divided into "Journey of Harmony, Harmony of Difference Tones and Harmony of Thais." The "Journey of Harmony" will take visitors to the past to explore the lifestyle of Siamese people, who prospered along the river; the "Harmony of Different Tones" spotlights the interaction between urban and rural areas as well as the country's friendly exchanges with other countries; and the "Harmony of Thais" embodies Thais' attitude towards life - pursuing a simple lifestyle of peace and contentment.

A wide variety of Thai food ranging from piquant tastes to milder flavors will be served. These include noodles in spicy prawn soup, chicken Khao Soi, Pad Thai with prawn, rice with pork and basil leaves, and Thai grilled chicken with Som Tum and sticky rice. Herbal ingredients will be featured in many items to introduce the subtle health benefits of traditional Thai cooking.

The Hungary pavilion is decorated with more than 800 wood rods, and visitors will feel they are having a walk in a forest. These wooden rods not only reflect light, but also rise and fall with changing music rhythms to bring visitors both audio and visual impacts. The rods are musical instruments themselves and when tapped, make pleasant sounds that change in the morning, afternoon and evening. This relaxing atmosphere reflects the pavilion's theme of "Architectural and Cultural Diversity of Our Cities," which aims to introduce visitors to Hungary's natural resources, economy, people, and culture rather than flood them with a surge of products.
One innovation that will be displayed is the Gomboc, created by two Hungarian mathematicians. It is the first known homogenous object with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point, similar in function to the Chinese roly-poly. It is a symbol of the unremitting and creative spirit of the Hungarian nation. ]]> Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:03:57 MDT admin EXPO 2010 1 http://mynews.mychinab2b.com/EXPO 2010/hungarian-pavilion/
