  Guangdong Pavilion

  The pavilion in the shape of Qilou (special local structure) is inspired by the local paper-cutting techniques to demonstrate the strong Guangdong taste. The three sections of Green Life, Green Cities and Green Myths interpret the pursuit of green life through high-tech means and ingenious thoughts. Green Myths interpreted by special-effect movies are especially moving; Brightening the Whole of Heaven shows Guangdong’s beautiful green life via 3D presentation, performances and shows.

  Futuristic train interior at Guangdong Pavilion

  Wan ingliang, vice governor of Guangdong province and chief of the leading team of Guangdong for the Shanghai Expo, believes that with Guangdong’s distinctive architecture of qilou as the key design, along with the three sections of “green life,” “green city,” and “green mythology” as part of its green theme, Guangdong can express its values and beautiful desire of a green life. This not only represents the direction of Guangdong’s development, but also a yearning for a better life, and furthermore, it is in line with the Expo’s theme. There were repeated arguments and clashes around the theme and finally, a unique and charming Guangdong-style of a green qilou was selected. All the elements of the pavilion are representative of Guangdong’s unique manufacturing and innovation, Guangdong’s highest standards and tastes, as well as Guangdong’s future.
