Take the future route of the self-built pavilion to cover an area of 6,000 square meters of the German Pavilion and the British Pavilion as a representative. German Pavilion: wonderful balance The Germans, known for their rigor, have played a creative game this time to make people lose their minds. They first invented a new word Balancity, using the English words "balance" and "city" to form the "Harmony City", and then moved a futuristic national pavilion to C A futuristic national pavilion has been moved to Area C. The pavilion consists of four geometrically shaped sculptures that look like they are suspended above the ground. The four buildings look shaky on their own, but when they are put together, they support each other and form a stable balance, which makes them look very harmonious," said architect Wei Zhili. The outer wall of the pavilion is made of 12,000 square meters of revolutionary silver luminous mesh film, which has a high reflectivity to solar radiation, shading the sun and preventing heat from accumulating inside the pavilion.

The louder the sound, the brighter the color of the sphere. When it comes to a standstill, the surface will appear Hello, Earth, soccer and other patterns. UK Pavilion: Glowing box "Dandelion" Giant Porcupine? Crystal hedgehogs? A ball of immortality? Its official scientific name is Dandelion.

These tentacles are 60,000 transparent acrylic rods, each about 7.5 meters long, are evenly inserted into the outer wall, looks like the building grows out of the same. Interestingly, they are soft enough to sway gently in the breeze, giving the impression that the entire pavilion is swaying. At night, the built-in light source of each tentacle makes the whole pavilion glow brightly. Dandelions are not only beautiful to look at, they also tell stories. Different plant seeds are hidden in the tentacles, which can be admired by the audience through the transparent rods. What's even better is that after the Expo, the seeds are still alive when they are taken out, and they will take root on Chinese campuses. Traditionalism and Nature Jumping out of the modern elements and returning to natural interest, many pavilions use natural materials. The India Pavilion used 15 kilometers of bamboo to build the world's largest dome; the Canada Pavilion's exterior walls were covered with Canadian red cedar wood panels, and the interior walls were planted with greenery; the Swiss Pavilion's exterior was hung with curtains made of soybean fibers, which can generate electricity and degrade naturally after the exhibition; and 1/4 of the space in the Sweden Pavilion was built with new wood. And to say that this camp "leader", is not the Spanish Pavilion and Norway Pavilion.

These rattan are all northern China's Artemisia willow, woven by Shandong craftsmen, rattan has the original color, brown and black three kinds, but did not use any pigment, but put in boiling water to cook, with different times will have different colors. Do not worry about the "big bamboo basket" will be blown away by the typhoon, in fact, it is firmly connected by 2,500 tons of steel pipe built on the "skeleton" above. Norway Pavilion: the wood to the end of the Norway Pavilion not only with wood to build a house, its interior is also using all-wood structure, while all other pavilions are steel structure. Constructed from 15 giant Norwegian "pine trees", the pavilion's exterior walls are decorated with soft bamboo, in keeping with the theme of the exhibition, "Nature's Endowment". These giant "trees" are not real trees, they are glued wooden columns, ranging from 5 to 15 meters high, each tree has a fixed root in the ground and four branches in the air. A tarp supported by the outer ends of the branches forms the undulating roof of the pavilion. Walking in such a space is like walking through a forest, breathing in the fragrance of pine and the wind from the Norwegian forest.

When night falls, the magic of light and shadow is projected on the internal walls through the hollowed-out paper-cut carvings, which is both real and unreal, and the beauty of paper-cutting is interpreted to the fullest. Although the design concept comes from the "Polish folk art of paper-cutting", the general representative of the Polish Pavilion said that Poland is like the "China of Europe", and the two countries have a lot of similarities, such as a large number of world cultural heritage and places of interest. The Polish Pavilion has also arranged a dragon dance every morning, with four red Chinese dragons and four yellow Polish dragons performing together.

Japan Pavilion is like a baby silkworm. If children were to choose, the Russian Pavilion would probably win because it is a city of dreams. The Russian Pavilion: a child's dream The City of Flowers is a mesmerizing city of children, where the big "mushrooms" are sewers, the cars on the streets don't drink gasoline but eat strawberry jam, and the owner of the City of Flowers is a man who has been living in the city for many years. The owner of the city of flowers is a child who is not yet as tall as a cucumber. Russian writer Nikolai Nosov described such a fairy tale city in his book "The Adventures of Little Ignorance". In the Russian Pavilion, these will be presented one by one.
