Shanghai Expo 2010

A little late in getting this post up but I spent 3 days in Shanghai at the Expo and only saw about 60% of it. The site was huge to say the least. The map at the left shows all the sections of the site open to the public.

From the main entrance the most imposing site was the Chinese pavilion. Built as two parts, the national pavilion above the provinces pavilion, it was a sight that is hard to not remember. Built in the style of a Chinese gate with the traditional beams fitted together, it was fantastic landmark of the entire site.

There were a large number of people there but the site was well organized for large numbers. The lines to some of the pavilions were very long, others you walked right in.

Here are some more pics of pavilions.
