Text How I “Survived”the Shanghai Expo

An Overseas Visitor’s Personal Experience

My aunt in Vancouver shared a wise Chinese saying after she came back from her trip to the Shanghai Expo:“If you didn’t go to the Shanghai Expo, you would regret it. If you did go to the Shanghai Expo, you would regret it even more.”

I laughed. However, there was a lot of truth to the statement. For the price of an admission ticket to the Expo, you could get to witness a great human accomplishment: Over 200 architecturally cutting-edge national pavilions in a 4-km2 exhibition site. At the same time, you could get to witness and experience the exhausting 4 or 5 hours’long queuing lines.

Believe me: the Expo itself would wear you out after Day One. In addition, you shouldn’t have come just to visit Shanghai for the Expo. Shanghai was a dynamic, modern, international city —the “city of the future”—and it is really worth breaking up your Expo visit with trips to the Bund, to Nanjing Road, to ultra-modern Pudong, maybe even to the neighboring cities: Hangzhou and Suzhou. And if you’d been to Shanghai many times already and seen all these sights, then you could use the rest of your time to do the one thing Shanghai was best known for: shopping, shopping, shopping.

How I Chose The Best Pavilions to See

“What were the best pavilions to see?”This was a good question. With over 200 pavilions and such limited time and such long lines, you wouldn’t want your day at the Expo site to go to waste.

The Real Stars I enjoyed most: mid-sized Countries pavilions

You might be very much exhausted by queuing before the heavy hitters of the Expo —the China pavilion and the big “brand-name”countries —but you will
