1. Before you go, you must do your homework. There are * * * 181+ national pavilions, with a total of ***241+ venues. It is impossible to go to all of them. I went to more than 71 pavilions in three days, so that you can get to know the history, culture and folk customs of the country in advance, which will be more focused and your own gains will be greater.
2. Be sure to practice reading the map before you go, because when you enter the garden, everyone will issue a map of the Expo Park, so you should read the map and make your own tour.
3. Before you go, you should exercise your endurance and physical strength, because sightseeing in the park is an exercise with serious physical and mental exhaustion, so you should be fully prepared and wear flat shoes. I have good endurance and physical strength. After three days of continuous fighting, I feel tired.
4. As for tickets, I don't recommend buying a 7-day ticket. If you have plenty of time and financial resources, of course you can. For the general population, it is recommended to buy tickets day by day. On the first day, buy a one-day ticket first, feel it before entering the park, and then decide according to your own situation.
5. Before going to Shanghai, it is suggested to book the hotel in advance, check the route and transfer to the subway number, which can effectively save time. I went with my friends. Before going, all my friends had agreed and the route was arranged, so we saved time and energy. I would like to thank my friends in the same industry, especially Lao Yu.
6. Get change ready. In order to save time, you usually take the subway, which basically sells tickets automatically. 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 11 yuan and 21 yuan, get change ready.
7. If you fly to Shanghai, (I am flying to Shanghai), the airport security is particularly strict, so don't bring metal objects and unnecessary things to avoid missing the plane.
8. Everyone who enters the Expo Park wants to see the China Pavilion. Although it is a reserved pavilion, they can see it later, but no one wants to see the China Pavilion alone in the future. Therefore, you must queue up early in the morning and enter the park at 9 o'clock. You have to queue up at least 1 hours in advance to get the reservation ticket for the China Pavilion (I got the reservation ticket for the China Pavilion on the first day I entered the park. Fortunately, on the one hand, I went early, one hour in advance). Reservation tickets for the China Pavilion are not reserved by machines, but are manually distributed by the staff at the entrance to the park. There are 51,111 tickets a day, except for those ordered by tour groups. The rest are at 7 entrances, and there are 31 security checkpoints at each entrance. So, if you want to enter the China Pavilion, it's up to you.
9. When entering the park, the security check is also very strict. Liquids are definitely not allowed, lighters are not allowed, and cigarettes are allowed. There is a smoking area and a spark plug in the park. In fact, you don't need to bring water at all. The park is full of drinking water areas, which is very convenient.
11, when you enter the garden in the morning, don't run, because the ground is just scrubbed and very slippery. (My friend has personal experience)
11. When you enter the garden, take as little things as you can. If you don't have a bag, you can take the baggage-free passage. There are few people and you can enter the garden quickly.
12. The food in the garden is really expensive, and the quantity is very small. It is only for tasting, so it is not enough to satisfy the hunger. It is recommended to bring your own food into the garden (my friends and I just bring our own hamburgers for lunch). If you are too troublesome to eat in the garden, I recommend the restaurants in Area A (Asia) to be more affordable. There is a designated place to sell bread in Europe, starting at 11 yuan, and one for myself is enough, and the quality is assured.
13. As for the gifts of foreign pavilions mentioned by the media, I found that some of them were gone, because there were many people entering the park, and they were basically distributed 15 days before the opening of the park. So, I hope you will give up the idea of giving away gifts. Now only Oman, Singapore, Japan and other venues have gifts.
14. As for sightseeing, I have basically visited all the major museums and visited many small ones. I have some suggestions:
Asia:
Needless to say, the China National Pavilion must go. The time on the reservation ticket is just a reminder. You can go at any time as long as you are in the same day and before closing, but you need to queue up. Although you can't see it from the outside, it's all in the East.
There are a lot of people in the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Province pavilions. Generally, it takes more than two hours to queue. I suggest you don't have to go. They are all from China. Just go directly to the field. There are also provincial and municipal pavilions. You don't have to look at them if you don't have time. They are all domestic and have a basic understanding. Note: Taiwan Province Pavilion, like China Pavilion, is only allowed to enter with the reserved tickets of the same day. Taiwan Province Pavilion distributes reserved tickets twice at 9: 31 am and 6: 11 pm every day, and the number is limited (3,111 in the morning and 1,111 in the afternoon). Please pay attention to those who want to go.
The Saudi Pavilion must be visited. The most popular pavilion, with an investment of 1.3 billion yuan, was built by itself and will be demolished later. There will definitely be a lot of people. Only 21,111 people enter the museum a day, and the queue is usually about 5 hours. I went to the garden in the morning and queued for 3 hours. Note: Don't think about going to the queue at night, there will be fewer people. Because there are too many people, the queue of the Saudi Pavilion usually ends at 6 o'clock in the evening. Moreover, there is no green passage, no appointment, only a queue, so prepare food and benches, but you will definitely not regret it when you get in. If you want to go to the Saudi Pavilion in the morning, it is suggested that when you enter the park, you should enter from Gate 5 (entrance of Gaoke West Road), so go straight north and you will arrive at the Saudi Pavilion.
The Australia Pavilion is going. It is one of the few pavilions with a 361-degree screen, and it is still rotating.
I didn't go to the New Zealand Pavilion, but my friend went in and said it was very good and had a strong folk flavor.
The Japan Pavilion has a strong atmosphere of life, advanced technology and performances, but there are many people, so it usually takes more than three hours to queue, so you can consider it. The Korea Pavilion is just so-so.
There are a lot of people waiting in line for the UAE Pavilion, but if you want to go, you should at least visit Dubai. It is recommended to go at 7: 11-8: 11 p.m., which usually takes about half an hour to get in, or more than 3 hours during the day. Note: If you go, you should bring a good pen. The staff will send a postcard to everyone with name, address, telephone number and postcode. When the World Expo is over, there will be a lucky draw. If you are lucky, you will get a free 7-day double flight to Dubai and stay at a 7-star sail hotel.
Don't go to the India Pavilion. There are many people and you will be disappointed. If you believe in Buddhism, it is recommended to go to Nepal Pavilion.
Some national pavilions in Southeast Asia are recommended to go at night, because they are all small pavilions, and there are not many people at night, and some can even enter directly, and there will be many people during the day.
I suggest going to the Iran Pavilion, which has Persian carpets, a special product of Iran, which are expensive, so you can feel it.
If you want to buy national specialties, it is recommended to go to the Asia United Pavilion. * * * There are three Asian United Pavilions. There are markets in various countries, and there are all kinds of small objects.
Morocco Pavilion, I suggest you go. It's very big and contains many fine national treasures.
You can go to other Asian pavilions if you have time, but if you don't have time, just skip it.
15, Europe:
To tell the truth, I should basically go and see it. It's really very good. I feel that kind of comfortable and happy life. I basically went there and felt very good.
The Italian and French pavilions are very romantic. You must go. It is recommended to go at night. There will be a little fewer people.
Germany Pavilion, you must go. It's great and huge. It's a source of energy, and there's a voice-activated ball show. Of course, there are many people waiting in line, usually more than three hours. I entered on the day of the German National Pavilion. When the pavilion was closed and reopened, there were few people and the entrance was smooth.
The Swiss Pavilion has a cable car. Please take a seat. Note that the cable car does not run in rainy days. Suggestions: Take the cable car during the day and wait in line for more than 2 hours. The goods sold in the Swiss Pavilion are very good, especially bags. Ladies can go and have a look, and the price is moderate.
There are only seeds in the British Pavilion, and no gift seeds are given. There are many people, so it is recommended to go at night. If time is tight, it is not recommended to go.
Poland Pavilion, worth visiting, is beautiful. Poland welcomes you with a smile.
The Danish Pavilion and the Finnish Pavilion are worth visiting to experience a comfortable life.
Iceland Pavilion, which is worth visiting. The film is very good.
Norway Pavilion, Holland Pavilion, Sweden Pavilion and Russia Pavilion are suitable for children. They are very fairy tales.
Turkey, Belarus, Monaco, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Belgium, it is recommended to go when you have time. If you go, it is recommended to go in the evening.
16. Africa:
It is recommended to go to the Africa Joint Pavilion.
Egypt Pavilion is recommended. It's an ancient symbol, and it contains the Pharaoh's gold mask.
17. Americas:
You must go to the American Pavilion. Although this World Expo didn't pay much attention, the United States is a superpower after all. There are three films in it, which fully show the American culture and spirit. Feel the American spirit. There are naturally many people waiting in line, so I suggest going at night.
Don't go to the Canada, Argentina and Brazil pavilions. From the outside, they are very big, with few things in them and many people.
For other American pavilions, just pick the ones with fewer people.
18. Other venues:
It is recommended to go to the theme pavilion. There are * * * three pavilions, and reservations can be made. There is an appointment machine opposite the theme pavilion. You don't have to wait in line during the time shown in the reservation book. At other times, you have to wait in line, and there are not many people.
19. Puxi District is suitable for practice, and there are many interesting things. China Airlines, China Shipping and China Railway have to visit the three enterprise pavilions. Generally, the queue is half an hour, while China Airlines has to wait for two hours. You can visit the State Grid Pavilion, and there is basically no need to queue up. There are many people in the Petroleum Pavilion, and it takes two hours to queue up. If you are an employee of the petroleum industry, such as Sinopec, PetroChina and CNOOC, you can enter through the VIP channel with your work permit without queuing up. You can go to the Yuanda Pavilion, which has games of magnitude 8 earthquake. In the urban best practice area, everyone should go and have a look, which shows the future construction of the city, and there are very few people. I suggest: take a day off to visit Puxi, don't queue up at the National Pavilion in Pudong, Puxi will definitely give you a pleasant surprise.
21. There are three bus lines in the Expo Park (Pudong), namely, the National Exhibition Line, the Expo Avenue Line and the River-crossing Line. As the name implies, the River-crossing Line can go from Pudong to Puxi, and the National Exhibition Line and the Expo Avenue are only in Pudong District. There are many vehicles, and all of them are free. However, there is no shuttle bus to Bocheng Road, the main road in the park. If you want to take a bus, you can only take sightseeing bus at a price of RMB 11 per person.
21. Take an umbrella. It's a rainy day in Shanghai. Just wear short sleeves, the weather is very hot, bring a portable bench, and you will find it very useful when waiting in line.
22. A considerable number of staff in foreign libraries are foreign nationals. Although they are foreigners, they are trained and speak Chinese well, so there is no need to worry about communication. Of course, if your English is excellent, you'd better speak English and show our quality and level.
23. There are many foreign tourists in the park. We are the hosts. We should show our sense of ownership. Don't jump the queue and climb over the railing when waiting in line. It is really a disgrace to us in China. Don't let foreigners see jokes. If you encounter the phenomenon of jumping in line, don't argue, just call the volunteers on the spot (there are two types of volunteers: volunteers wearing green shirts and white pants are volunteers asking for directions (commonly known as cabbage), and they are basically college students, while those wearing uniform sportswear are public security volunteers, basically security staff), and let them deal with the people who jump in line.
24. Generally, venues will stop entering the pavilion at around 9: 31 pm, and venues in Europe will be postponed until 11 pm, and the park will close at 12 pm, so you should consider the time.
25. As for souvenirs, you must buy them in regular franchised stores. There are many in the park, and you can buy them as souvenirs of the World Expo. There is not much room for appreciation of the collection, because the souvenirs of the World Expo are not issued in limited quantities.
26. Passport stamping. Nowadays, Expo passports are very popular, and many franchised stores in the park are out of stock. There is one in 31 yuan, and each venue basically has a stamp stamping place, usually at the entrance or exit. Some venues stipulate that one person is limited to three passports, such as Norwegian venues. Passport is just a commemoration of the World Expo. Don't go into the venue to knock on the seal, which loses its practical significance. Don't listen to the price rumored on the Internet. Expo passports are also not issued in limited quantities, and there is not much room for appreciation.
27. If you are accompanying the elderly, the disabled (there are free wheelchairs for rent in the park) or taking a baby (pushing a stroller), you need to hold relevant certificates and push a wheelchair to enter. Some venues directly take the green passage, so there is no need to queue up. Of course, some venues are excluded, such as the Saudi Pavilion.
28. Each family with permanent residence in Shanghai will be given a free ticket, and 211 yuan transportation allowance will be attached. Therefore, it is not surprising to find many local elderly people in Shanghai when entering the park.
29. Supplement 1: One ticket can only be reserved for one exhibition hall in the park, which is not the maximum of five exhibition halls per day as mentioned by the media. Please pay attention.
31. Supplement 2: Please keep your tickets after visiting the World Expo (this is pure nonsense, everyone will certainly keep them as a souvenir). But you know what? After the World Expo, you can visit the China Pavilion for free if you have Expo tickets. Expo tickets have many uses, so you can add them at any time and tell everyone in time.
I went to the World Expo with my friends, bought three tickets, and prepared well in advance. In addition, I have excellent physical strength and made full use of my time. I feel no regrets. Now I have finished shopping and accumulated this experience. It is my personal experience with my friends and I want to share it with friends who want to go. I hope I can give you some help. If you have any supplements, you are welcome at any time. Our purpose is to use the shortest time and the most.
Recommended venues for a one-day tour of the Expo:
Pudong Park: Japan Pavilion, Korea Pavilion, Saudi Arabia Pavilion, Israel Pavilion, UAE Pavilion, Pakistan Pavilion, Australia Pavilion, Finland Pavilion, Denmark Pavilion, Romania Pavilion, Russia Pavilion, United Africa Pavilion, Netherlands Pavilion, Britain Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, France Pavilion, Switzerland Pavilion, Spain Pavilion and World Meteorological Pavilion
Pu.
The specific itinerary of the one-day tour of the London Case Museum:
Step 1: At 8: 31 in the morning, bring your ID card and tickets, and wait in line at the entrance of Gate 4 (Xueye Road and Bailianjing Road) of Shanghai World Expo Pudong Park.
Step 2: 9: 11 a.m.: enter the site and start a day-long tour of the wonderful buildings in the Expo site.
Step 3: since the official opening hours of national pavilions are only 9: 31, it is suggested to ask the staff for the location of the nearest reservation machine at this time. If it is near, it is suggested to go immediately and make an appointment for the popular venues that you are eager to visit. One ticket can reserve up to five venues a day. It is suggested to make an appointment for the Australian Pavilion at 13: 11, the French Pavilion at 15: 11 and the British Pavilion at 17: 31. Then, along Bocheng Road, I visited the Korea Pavilion one after another and entered the Saudi Arabian Pavilion.
