Expo trip: Huayao Road Park-Book the China Pavilion-Celebration Square-Theme Pavilion-New Zealand Pavilion-Denmark Pavilion-Belgium Pavilion-Swiss Pavilion-Netherlands Pavilion-Chinese Food Street-Watch the Performance at the Cultural Center- Visit the China Pavilion-Macau Pavilion-Puxi Yulewan Experience Pavilion. Taking children to see the World Expo not only helps broaden their knowledge, but also increases their feelings through the interaction between parents and children.
But if you only have a short day, you must arrange this precious day to maximize its value. At 8:30 in the morning, go to the Huayao Road entrance and wait in line to enter; after 9:00, please go to the ticket booking machine at the entrance to book a visit time to the China Pavilion. If you are a local citizen of Shanghai, you can also visit the China Pavilion for free with your Expo ticket after the Expo. Individual tourists can visit all exhibition halls in the park through on-site reservation. There are 200 ticket booking machines at each entrance and exit of the park, and you can only book one ticket once. Just book the China Pavilion. You need valid ID and tickets to book tickets at the ticket machine. After making an appointment, you can spend the day visiting with confidence.
From the Expo axis to the end, the garden is the Celebration Square, where the grand opening ceremony was held. After watching the opening ceremony, you can take your children to visit some of their favorite exhibition halls. Walking back along the Expo axis, you will soon see the theme pavilions, including the Urban People Pavilion, the Urban Life Pavilion and the Urban Planet Pavilion. This is the best place for children to learn about modern urban life and look forward to future urban development. After seeing the theme pavilion, walk north along the World Expo Pavilion Road. Once you reach Bocheng Road, you will see the New Zealand Pavilion. Before entering the pavilion, you will be welcomed by a passionate Maori dance performance. The biggest attraction here is the breathtaking New Zealand scenery created by the "Lord of the Rings" special effects team using imaging technology, allowing children to be immersed in the scene.
After leaving the New Zealand Pavilion, you can take your children to the Denmark Pavilion. The symbol of Denmark and the famous sculpture The Little Mermaid went abroad for the first time and was placed in the center of the Danish Pavilion, making children feel as if they were in Andersen's fairy tale kingdom. After leaving the Danish Pavilion, you can see the Belgian European Union Pavilion () not far to the east. When you visit the Belgian pavilion, you can get free chocolates. I'm sure the kids will love it.
Continue to the northeast and come to the Swiss Pavilion. There is a sightseeing cable car in the Swiss Pavilion. The cable car is a link between the urban space and the natural space of the Swiss Pavilion, realizing the theme of urban-rural interaction. I believe the children will enjoy taking the cable car to visit the Swiss Pavilion. If time permits, you can also visit the Dutch Pavilion in Area C. The theme of the Dutch Pavilion is Happy Street, allowing children to feel the joyful atmosphere. Parents and children must be hungry when they visit here. When parents take their children back to Building B, you will soon find that there is a Chinese food street between the Expo Center and the theme pavilion. Here there are all the specialties of China’s 31 provinces, cities, autonomous regions and municipalities, as well as Chinese The eight major cuisines of gourmet food.
When you are full, you can go to the cultural center to watch a performance and take the children to rest while the air conditioner is blowing. The cultural center is located northeast of the Expo Center. From the passionate Spanish flamenco singing and dancing here to the large-scale ethnic song and dance performance "African Footprints" that makes people feel like they are in Africa, there are many performances every day. After you have rested enough, you can go to the China Pavilion to queue up. Even if there are relatively few people at noon, even if you have a reservation, queuing for about 30 minutes is inevitable. However, due to the unique design of the China Pavilion, you will find that the sun is blocked while waiting in line. This is the so-called self-shading. The design of the China Pavilion takes into account the problem of everyone queuing. 49-meter floor: After entering the venue, take the elevator and go to the 49-meter floor first. Surrounded by a circle of tempered glass floors like the Oriental Pearl, at the foot is the now very small waiting square, where movies are screened at the same time. There is also a "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" on this floor, which is more than 100 meters wide and the people inside can move around. Floor 41m: After watching 49m, you can go to the 41m floor.
This is a tour bus tour. The line is long but worth it. There will be a special experience. 3-meter floor After visiting the China Pavilion, take your children to the nearby Macao Pavilion. The cute Jade Rabbit palace lantern will make children's eyes light up. There is a small slide from the inside to the outside of the pavilion. Children can slide from this slide to the exit. Don’t forget to give away a series of souvenirs in the shape of Jade Rabbit palace lanterns when you leave.
After visiting so many exhibition halls, there is one place that you absolutely cannot miss, but this place is in Puxi. Parents take their children to take the light rail or bus to the Puxi Yulewan Experience Center. Yulewan is a children's future urban career experience park specially built for the World Expo. 25 representative careers of the future are selected to allow children aged 7-15 to gain enlightenment through entertainment and experience, experience the joy of growth, and achieve education through fun. During the Expo, Puxi Pier 3 will have 6 experience activities every day, each lasting 90 minutes, and the total number of activities is expected to be 1,104. If you have time, you can go shopping at nearby corporate halls. The day's trip is almost over. I hope it can leave unforgettable memories for the children.
-One-day panoramic tour of Expo. No matter how cursorily you look at the flowers, it's difficult to see all of the Expo site in a day trip. For day-trippers with limited time, instead of following other tourists to the China Pavilion in the Pudong exhibition area, it is better to enter the park from Puxi, which has relatively less passenger flow, which can not only shorten the entry time, but also achieve the purpose of off-peak visits. Morning: It is recommended to enter the Puxi exhibition area from Gate 3 of Bansongyuan Road or Gate 2 of South Tibet Road in the morning and make a reservation directly for the China Pavilion in Pudong Park.
You should know that even with the most successful reservation, there is still one hour available, which is enough for tourists to rush from Puxi Park to Pudong Park to visit the China Pavilion. It usually takes about two or three hours from reservation to formal visit, which is just enough for tourists to take a tour of Puxi Park.
Urban best practice areas are particularly recommended here, which not only have unique and diverse architectural styles, but also demonstrate human exploration of future cities, such as the Shanghai Case Pavilion, Ningbo Case Pavilion, Denmark Odense Pavilion, and Macau Case library, etc. If you have more time, you can also choose some corporate pavilions, such as SAIC General Motors Pavilion, Coca-Cola Pavilion, State Grid Pavilion, China Aviation Pavilion, etc. Afternoon: In the Asia-Europe Exhibition Area, according to the reservation time of the China Pavilion, take the subway or ferry from Puxi Park to Pudong Park in time. It takes a lot of time to visit the China Pavilion, provincial and municipal pavilions and theme pavilions. The Israeli Pavilion, which is close to the China Pavilion, can be visited on the way, while other Asian pavilions far away from the China Pavilion can only be reluctantly parted with. The westernmost stop of the Pudong Park Bus Line is on Gaoke West Road under the elevated walkway.
If you go west from here, you won’t be able to catch up with the west exhibition area of ??Pudong Park. It is recommended to take the park bus from Gaoke West Road Station and get off at Changqing North Road Station. It is most convenient to enter Area C (where the European Pavilion is concentrated) from Area A. If it is not too late after getting off, you can walk along the elevated highway. Walk west on the trail and take a look at some interesting European pavilions, such as the Little Mermaid in the Danish Pavilion, the Energy Ball in the German Pavilion, the Seed Temple British Pavilion, etc. Evening: US-Africa exhibition area. In the evening it is time for the US-Africa exhibition area. Choose a suitable American Pavilion to visit, and then go to the African Union Pavilion. This is a panoramic view of American and African culture. And the night view of the Expo Park is also quite beautiful. In addition, Houtan Square's "Window on the City" is worth a visit.
Otherwise, a one-day itinerary would not be perfect without the important cultural performances of the Expo. Watergate: Exiting the African Union Pavilion is the Watergate Pier Plaza. You can sit on the boat and enjoy the night view on both sides of the Pujiang River while watching the panoramic view of the World Expo where you have been running all day. The one-day trip to the World Expo will come to a successful conclusion. - Gate 6 on Shangnan Road and Gate 5 on Gaoke West Road are more suitable entrances in the morning. Both entrances are close to the China Pavilion.
You can make an appointment to go to China in the afternoon to visit the Theme Pavilion and the International Organization Pavilion. The Theme Pavilion requires an appointment. During the waiting time, tourists can visit the United Nations Pavilion, International Meteorological Pavilion, Red Cross Pavilion and other international organization pavilions, or go to the Thai Pavilion and Philippine Pavilion on the west side of the theme pavilion to experience the Southeast Asian customs. At the beginning of the evening, the visiting area will be reduced to the east side of Area A. If you are lucky, you can catch the happy costume parade in the western section of Bocheng Road. It doesn’t matter if you can’t catch up. You can choose to visit the Saudi Arabian Pavilion, Asian Federation Hall 1, and Asian Federation Hall 2. It is recommended to reserve night visit time for the Korean Pavilion and the Japanese Pavilion. Finally, you can return to the Celebration Square to watch the closing ceremony of the park and end the first day of the trip.
D2: The second day of exploration day (Area C) is the best opportunity to explore diverse cultures and mysterious customs. For some popular exhibition halls, make timely reservations. It is recommended to enter the park from Gate 7 on Changqing North Road in the morning and go straight to the European Pavilion. The individual area of ??each European pavilion is not large, but each pavilion has its own highlights. Fortunately, the exhibition halls of various European countries are very close to each other, so tourists can adjust their tour routes in time according to the flow of people. The afternoon was mainly reserved for the American Pavilion. The American pavilions such as the United States Pavilion, Canada Pavilion, and Brazil Pavilion are always attractive, so you should leave enough waiting time to feel the enthusiasm and vitality of the United States. Experience the mysterious and ancient Africa at night. In addition to the pavilions of African countries such as South Africa and Egypt, the United Africa Pavilion is also a good opportunity to learn about Africa. Of course, it is also necessary to visit the African markets and pick up some rare African souvenirs. Finally, you can end the day with the large-scale multimedia audio-visual drama "Window on the City" at Houtan Square.
D3: On the third day of case day (Area D and E), we will visit Puxi Park. Whether it is the corporate pavilion or the best practice area, they are all living cases. The tour route can be divided into three parts: Enterprise Pavilion, Future Pavilion and Best Practice Area. Enter the park from Gate 1 of Luban Road in the morning and start your journey from one of the theme pavilions, the Urban Footprint Pavilion. The Urban Footprint Pavilion requires an appointment. During the waiting time, you can visit the State Grid Pavilion, Coca-Cola Pavilion, Petroleum Pavilion and other surrounding enterprise pavilions. Generally, after the visit, you can go east to Slipway Square and Jiangnan Square, take a break for lunch, and see intuitive cases of the renovation of the old shipyard. In the afternoon, we started from the China Shipbuilding Pavilion and ended at the Urban Future Pavilion, one of the themed pavilions.
Among them, the Urban Future Pavilion needs to be retained, and the corporate pavilions such as SAIC-GM Pavilion and China Aerospace Pavilion have high-tech exhibitions worth seeing. It is likely that reservation requests will be made based on passenger flow, so be prepared accordingly. Night is among the best practice areas in the city because the lights here are the highlight of the entire park. Therefore, while understanding how different countries and cities think about the future of their cities, don’t forget to take a look at the scenery outside the exhibition hall to leave a good impression on the Expo. After reading it, we went to the Expo Center, where the National Pavilion Day opening ceremony was held every day. After seeing the Expo Center, you can go to the Theme Pavilion first and then the China Pavilion.
The next day: Recommended venues in Areas A and B: Saudi Arabia Pavilion, UAE Pavilion, South Korea Pavilion, and Japan Pavilion. Tourists can visit the Oman Pavilion, Pakistan Pavilion, Israel Pavilion, and by the way, visit the Sri Lanka Pavilion. After reading it, cross the street and go to the Nepal Pavilion, where there are thousands of relics. The Indian Pavilion is next to the Nepal Pavilion. Then I saw the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, which has the largest investment among foreign pavilions, costing 1.3 billion yuan.
The Saudi Pavilion has the world's largest IMAX cinema, which is much larger than the Peace Cinema.
Region on the third day: Area B and Area C. Recommended venues: United Nations Pavilion, Spanish Pavilion, and French Pavilion. You can visit the blue United Nations Pavilion next to the World Meteorological Organization. Zone 4: Recommended venues in Zone C: Germany Pavilion and Norway Pavilion. Let's take a look at the German Pavilion first. The open-plan building is light and elegant, seeming to send out a sincere invitation to visitors. Yan Si and Yan Yan, two special virtual commentators, will accompany every visitor to the exhibition hall. Then we crossed the North Ring Road to the Ireland Pavilion, had a cursory look, and then went to the Norway Pavilion. The Norway Pavilion is not big, it is a building composed of trees and movies. Next to it are the Ukraine Pavilion and the Iceland Pavilion, both of which are small. Then there are the Sweden Pavilion, Denmark Pavilion, Finland Pavilion, Latvia Pavilion and Estonia Pavilion.
Region on the fifth day: Area C. Recommended venues: United States Pavilion, Russia Pavilion, and African Union Pavilion. First up is a series of rental pavilions: Argentina, Slovenia, South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, Libya, Lithuania and Croatia. After watching, you can go to the U.S. Pavilion, Russia Pavilion, and African Union Pavilion. The interactive experience in the U.S. Pavilion is absolutely world-class. The Russian Pavilion consists of 12 towers and cubes suspended in the air, like a fairy tale world. Day 6 Area: Puxi Area D, Area E Recommended venues: China Shipyard, Vanke Pavilion. As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is the Chinese Shipyard, which was converted from an old factory building. Inside, you can see the history of Chinese shipbuilding and a model of Zheng He's treasure ship.
After coming out of the Central Ship Building, go to Nanpu Bridge. First go to the China Private Enterprise Pavilion, where private enterprises such as Alibaba and Red Star Macalline will jointly participate in the exhibition. Then there is Vanke Pavilion, which is weighed down by a pile of wheat. The display content is said to predict what Chinese cities will look like in 2049. Day 7 Area: Puxi Area D and Area E Recommended venues: Urban Best Practice Area The focus of the last day is to visit the Urban Best Practice Area. Near Zhongshan South Road, there is the most exciting northern construction case area in the urban best practice area. There is a Shanghai Bangjia in Shanghai who will tell you about the innovation of modern living environment; there is also a century-old pawn shop, Macau Decheng Publishing House. There is Jin Yong Library, and your favorite martial arts characters will appear.
If you are lucky, you will encounter Jin Yong personally signing books and selling them. In the afternoon you can go to the Future Pavilion, which is part of the Theme Pavilion. The museum is divided into four sections: Yesterday's Dreams, Ideals and Practices, Multiple Possibilities and Dreams Are Realizing. It shows visitors a beautiful picture of future urban life.
