  Lesotho Pavilion

  Focusing on the theme of ‘Tradition and Modern Cities’, Lesotho Pavilion displays the integration course of its traditional Basotho culture and modern urban life. Lesotho Pavilion has two exhibition areas: the Lesotho Cottage and the Central Square.

  Stepping into Lesotho Pavilion, you will first enter a cottage with distinct Lesotho characteristics. The walls of the cottage are made of natural stones and clay, while the roof is covered by thatch. The cottage looks like a crown from a distance. A Basotho couple in traditional costumes will stay in the cottage to welcome visitors. In addition, the information walls in and outside the cottage will showcase the scenic views and unique architectural culture of Lesotho.

  Central Square, a place for free communication, provides information about Lesotho’s history, culture and economy. Those interested can stay here and appreciate the beautiful countryside and the modern cities of Lesotho.

  In order to make visitors feel as if they were right in Lesotho, all the pavilion staff come from Lesotho and can speak both English and Chinese. If visitors have any questions, they can directly resort to the staff. All materials in the pavilion, including flooring, are from Lesotho and transported to China. Visitors can have a wonderful experience in the simulated Lesotho architectures and the beautiful sceneries by listening, smelling and touching.

  Djibouti Pavilion

  Djibouti will display its nature and culture, and rich tourism resources, as well as its glamour as a large international harbor based on its own geographical, cultural and economic background. In the Djibouti pavilion there is a big ‘daboita’, a traditional Djibouti dwelling, to display culture and nature of the country. The 72-sqaure-meter ‘daboita’ will be built particularly in Djibouti and transported to Shanghai in containers. It is decorated amidst water in the pavilion, as it is in Djibouti. It is linked by a bridge to the other end of the pavilion, which consists of business area and leisure area.

  Highlight 1: Special Handicrafts – The ‘daboita’ is decorated in tradition style. The top of the architecture is covered with hand-woven belts; the exterior walls and the floor are respectively laid with hand-woven tapestries and carpets. The Djibouti paintings and handmade ornaments hang on the internal walls.

  Highlight 2: Modern Exhibition Technology – Apart from traditional elements, the ‘daboita’ has also incorporated modern exhibition technology. For example, documentaries on the Republic of Djibouti will be played on a plasma screen. Access to the Internet will also be available, making it possible for people in Djibouti to visit the exhibition inside the ‘daboita’ in Shanghai.
