Vietnam Pavilion

The facade of the 1,000-square-meter pavilion appears like a river and the bamboo surrounding it can reduce the heat from the sun. The design highlights Vietnamese culture. Visitors will learn about the country’s profound history and culture as well as its wisdom in eco-protection and urban development.

By focusing on this ancient city, the pavilion will delve into the lives of Vietnamese citizens and the rapid development of the national economy since market reforms in 1986. In a Nov. 2009 report, PricewaterhouseCoopers projected Hanoi will be the fastest growing city in the world in terms of real GDP growth for the next 15 years.

As a result of the booming economy, Hanoi and greater Vietnam face environmental problems that need to be addressed. To demonstrate Vietnam’s firm commitment to environmental stewardship, the entire pavilion was constructed out of a weaving structure of over 80,000 bamboo rods. Inside the pavilion, visitors can explore Vietnamese culture through traditional Vietnamese musical instruments and performances, along with pottery products from Vietnam’s ancient Ly and Tran dynasties.
