China Pavilion

The Chinese national pavilion is the largest of its kind at the Expo and most expensive, costing an estimated US$220 million. The 63-meter high pavilion, the tallest structure at the Expo, is called “The Crown of the East,” as it is meant to resemble an ancient Chinese crown. The chief architect of the pavilion is He Jingtang. It contains exhibits on all the provinces of the Peoples Republic of China except for Hong Kong and Macau which are represented via their own pavilions which are separate from this one representing the Peoples Republic of China.

I love China to the point I’ve made it my life’s work. I really appreciated this article. You can check out my site to meet me. The query I would have is how China will change itself from the developing state to being a developed country. I would put it at 150-years approximately, despite the amazing advancements in the more developed cities.
