queuing is inevitable, depending on the traffic on the day you go, and the more interesting the exhibition hall, the more serious the queue. I recommend several must-see:
China National Pavilion (you have to arrive at the security checkpoint before 9: to get the reservation ticket, and you can enter the China National Pavilion with the reservation ticket. However, if you miss the time to get the ticket, the National Pavilion will be reserved after the World Expo. You can also visit Shanghai in the future)
China provincial and municipal pavilions
Saudi Arabian Pavilion
American Pavilion
Canadian Pavilion
Japanese Pavilion
French Pavilion
You can go to the Expo Performing Arts Center to watch performances in the evening, look at the night view of Pujiang from the 36-degree observation deck, and visit the Expo Axis when you come out.
(Before you enter the park, you should decide which venues to visit. After you get the map at the security checkpoint, you should decide the route according to your entrance to the park, and go straight to your destination, because almost every venue has to queue up, so the queuing time must be wasted. Otherwise, you can't see a lot. I didn't know anything on the first day, and I didn't see many museums. The flow of people that day was 35,. Just take a small folding chair with you, and you can sit in line for a while. Although there are chairs everywhere in the park, I don't think you should sit in that chair if you want to enrich yourself for three days, so you should wait in line.)
In addition, some popular exhibition halls will mark the queue time on the sign at the door, such as three hours. Don't think that if the queue time is long now, there will be fewer people, so ignore him and continue to queue for you.
After visiting each exhibition hall, there is a commemorative stamp at the exit, just like the Tang Priest's stamp when he passed through other countries in The Journey to the West. If you are interested in this and want to keep it as a souvenir, you can buy a "passport" at the park before 9 o'clock, or you can prepare a small notebook yourself, depending on your own hobbies. There is an interesting phenomenon in the Expo site, that is, many people just line up there to stamp, and don't even look at the pavilion.
—————————————————————————
I just saw a classic and posted it to share with you:
1. If you want to get a reservation ticket for the China Pavilion (I don't want to take a reservation for the China Pavilion), It is the largest entrance and exit in Puxi, but you still have to queue up early. You can get the reservation ticket by queuing at 7:, and you have a good chance to get it by queuing at 7:3. Whether you can get it after 7: 45 depends on the specific number of people queuing in the park that day.
2. Make all the preparations before the visit. When you have time, you need to read the familiar park guide map (you can choose to download it from the Internet, ask volunteers when queuing up, or ask for it at the information desk after entering the park), such as the location of each entrance and exit, the specific location of each venue, the basic situation of the venues you want to visit, the traffic routes in the park, etc., and you need to have a general understanding, so as to choose the venues you want to see and choose the tour routes. When arranging the route, one should be firm in belief and the other should be flexible in seeking change. The firm belief is that you will queue up to see the venues that you are very interested in, and don't be afraid when you see the queue is too long; Flexibility means that the queue is really too long, and if you don't have to see the venue, you can choose another time to see it or choose not to see it. In addition, we should do our homework about some situations in the park. Here's an episode. On the first day, because we couldn't get the reservation voucher for the China Pavilion, we rushed to the queue to buy the Expo passport. A girl in front of us had already got the reservation voucher for the China Pavilion, but she was still telling her companions next to her that she would go to the urban best practice area to get the city business card book and collect 15 case museum seals to see the China Pavilion. After learning about the situation with her, I realized that she thought that she could not visit the China Pavilion with the reservation voucher for the China Pavilion, and that it was only effective to collect the seals of the city business card book. Gosh, I almost killed the popularity of us who didn't have reservation tickets!
3. Learn to observe and think before queuing, and make rational judgments. In the same long queue, the time between moving and motionless is much worse. For example, in some venues, because there are movies to watch or interactive programs, it takes at least 5 to 8 minutes to let people in batches, so the procession will move slowly; For example, some venues do not require entry in batches, but only control the inflow of people. Often, only one group of people will be released every one or two minutes, so the team will travel faster, so the queue time will of course be shorter than the former. For example, we went to the Saudi Pavilion in the early morning of the third day. Because we entered the park late at that time, when we arrived at the Saudi Pavilion to queue up at 9:45, the queue had already stretched to the sidewalk under the elevated walkway outside the pavilion, and the queue could not be seen. At that time, the staff reminded everyone that it would take eight hours to queue up to see the Saudi Pavilion (it almost made people faint). At first, we were all a little shaken, but we calmed down a little and observed the progress of the team. It was the organizer who released the crowd by stages, and there were many empty sections in the middle of the team, so the actual length of the team was not out of reach, so we lined up without hesitation. As a result, the situation later confirmed our judgment. After three hours of hard queuing, we finally entered the Saudi Pavilion to visit, which is really glad you came! Therefore, don't completely believe the organizers' so-called 8-hour, 6-hour and 3-hour queuing time warnings, but treat them as white lies. The actual purpose may be to avoid overcrowding and popularity in some venues, which is just a way to divert tourists. Believe in yourself, be good at observing, and make a choice whether to queue up or not. Here is a list of the general queuing time of popular venues when the number of people entering the park reaches 3, for your reference (except after 19: pm): the venues that exceed 3 hours include Saudi Arabia Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, Japan Pavilion and Petroleum Pavilion; The venues with more than 2 hours are French Pavilion, Swiss Pavilion, Korean Pavilion, China Aviation Pavilion and Coca-Cola Pavilion. For more than one hour, there are American Pavilion, Russian Pavilion, British Pavilion, Italian Pavilion, Spanish Pavilion, UAE Pavilion, Israeli Pavilion, Macau Pavilion, Taiwan Province Pavilion, Japanese Industry Pavilion and SAIC-GM Pavilion.
4. Make full use of the transportation in the park. Buses and ferries in the park are free. Among them, Pudong can take the Expo bus cross-river line or cross-river ferry to and from Puxi, and Pudong and Puxi have their own east-west bus lines to choose from. The interval between buses is very short, and there will be a bus every two or three minutes. Those who are shorter can choose to walk, but those who are longer can save a lot of time by taking the bus. After all, time is money and efficiency is life!
5. Make full use of the evening time to visit. Because many group tourists or day tourists leave the park around 18: pm, the number of people at night is almost two-thirds less than during the day. Popular venues that have to wait for 2 or 3 hours to enter during the day can only wait for 1 hour or even half an hour after 19: at night, and even some popular venues can visit without queuing after 2: at night. On the third day, when we visited the European area, we made full use of the short two hours from 2: 3 to 22: 3, and saw the three popular venues in France, Italy and Britain in one breath. The efficiency was amazing!
6. Make full use of the first time to enter the park and queue up to visit the super-popular venues before the closing time at night. The Petroleum Pavilion in Puxi and the Saudi Pavilion in Pudong are the two most popular pavilions, while the China Aviation Pavilion in Puxi, the German Pavilion, the French Pavilion and the Japanese Pavilion in Pudong are the most popular pavilions. Therefore, if you are a three-day tourist, I suggest that you make use of the first time after entering the park for three days and the time before closing for three days to queue up to visit the above-mentioned popular venues. My suggestion is to go to the Petroleum Pavilion after entering the park for the first day and to the Aviation Pavilion before closing. The next day, after entering the park, go to the Saudi pavilion and close the pavilion before going to the Japanese pavilion; On the third day, I went to the German Pavilion after entering the park, and lined up to visit the French Pavilion before closing. As for the China Pavilion, since the reservation ticket was received after entering the park on the first day (of course, it had to be available early), you can cross the river to visit Pudong in line on the first afternoon, so it is not considered here.
7. Buy your Expo passport in time to leave a good impression on your Expo trip. Expo passports have been very popular in previous World Expos, and Shanghai World Expo is no exception. Many tourists are proud of getting more stamps. Some tourists even consider whether they have stamps at the first time, not for visiting (Little Xia doesn't support putting the cart before the horse). However, because Expo passports are not sold in every store, but only in special retail stores, and the sales time and quantity are different, they are often sold out in a short time, or even if there are sales, there are long queues. Therefore, it is suggested to know the location of the nearest special retail store before entering the park on the first day, and use the first time after entering the park to buy Expo passports (usually available in the morning) to lay a good foundation for future Expo visits.
8. The enterprise pavilion and urban best practice area in Puxi area are definitely a good place for you not to miss. First of all, the number of people in Puxi is much less than that in Pudong, accounting for only a quarter of the total number of people in the park. Many venues can enter without queuing, and the content is also very exciting. Secondly, compared with the national pavilion in Pudong area, the enterprise pavilion and the urban best practice area in Puxi area also have their own characteristics, in which the enterprise pavilion displays the latest scientific and cultural connotations of enterprises, which are often closely related to our lives; Many cases in the urban best practice area are worth watching and thinking about, and there are also many interactive links, which are worth seeing. Thirdly, by visiting the case museum in Puxi area, there is also a chance to get a direct access to the relevant national pavilions in Pudong, and there are also real discounts. Anyway, I tell you from my experience that you will never be disappointed when you visit Puxi.
9. The Expo Cultural Center, various cultural performances in the park and the three parks in Pudong Park near Huangpu River are all leisure projects that should not be missed. In addition to visiting the venues, you can also enter the circular viewing platform of the Expo Cultural Center, overlooking the whole Expo site and the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River, which is no less than your visit to the Oriental Pearl, World Financial Center or Jinmao Building. It is definitely a kind of value-added enjoyment. In addition, there are many wonderful cultural performances in the park, which should not be missed. When you enter the garden, don't forget to go to the information desk to get the performance program of the day. There will be fixed-point cultural performances in the squares and designated areas of each area. These wonderful performances can bring you many surprises during your visit or rest. In addition, there are acres of Zhongshan Water Park, Expo Park and Houtan Park near the Huangpu River in Pudong Park. Among them, acres of Zhongshan Water Park is behind the Korea Pavilion, and there are Suzhou garden-style buildings and bamboo forests for sightseeing and leisure. When you are tired of walking and queuing, you can feel the tranquility in the noise.
1. If you have any questions, you can ask the volunteers of the World Expo (nicknamed "Chinese cabbage" for wearing green clothes and white pants). After a period of operation, volunteers have gradually mastered a lot of knowledge about the park. When you encounter a problem and you can't solve it for a while, the best way is to ask volunteers, who will be very happy to answer it for you. Moreover, if you can ask him some questions and he can really help you, he will also be happy. Here's a little tidbit. I was looking for a nearby venue on the map set up in the park that day, and it took me some time to finally find it. When I was about to leave, I looked up and saw a volunteer standing not far from me, as if staring at me a little angrily. Her expression seemed to tell me: I'm all around and don't consult me. It's too inappropriate for me to be one thing! Haha, since then, I like to ask volunteers some questions that I can't solve for a while, and I also communicate with them from time to time, which makes me deeply feel the hard work and greatness of volunteers! Therefore, I suggest: if you have difficulty in watching the blog, please find "Chinese cabbage"! Here, I would like to pay tribute to the "Chinese cabbage" who have devoted themselves to serving the Expo!
comments on main venues:
Puxi DE area:
1. Petroleum Pavilion (92 points): the most popular venue in Puxi area, which must not be missed. Watch an 8-minute 4D film "Journey of Oil Time and Space", which will take you through hundreds of millions of years and experience the "Journey of Time and Space" with oil as the theme. The film is very shocking, full of color, fragrance and taste, and it is worth seeing. Especially girls should pay attention to it, haha, sell it and experience it yourself! In addition, there are wax figures of Marilyn Monroe, Chino Reeves and Bruce Lee at the entrance to take photos. After watching the movie, you can enter the back exhibition area to display oil fields and petroleum products, and there is a giant tire 4 or 5 meters high.
2. China Aviation Museum (9 points): It's very worthwhile to get on a simulated spaceship and experience space roaming. In particular, flying in space with a straight distance is like being in space and having the feeling of being there. However, the fly in the ointment is that the feeling should be closed when it is good, probably because of the limited space, or because I am afraid that Disney's amusement projects will have opinions.
3. SAIC-General Motors Pavilion (88 points): The biggest highlight is several concept cars designed for 23. Watching the movie "23 Lines" in a dynamic chair tells a moving story about "lines" that happened in Shanghai in 23, so that the audience can see the harmonious picture of the future city in 23 and the changes that the future car will bring to urban life through the plot progress. I just had to stand outside and wait before watching the movie, and I was forced to watch the trailer for more than 1 minutes.
4. China Private Enterprise Joint Pavilion (85 points): Show the climax show of "vitality matrix", create a wonderful and fantastic stage through a round sphere, and combine with Tai Chi performance, the visual experience is very shocking.
5. Shanghai Enterprise Joint Pavilion (8 points): Through an 8-minute 36-degree movie, Professor Butterfly, based on Xu Jinglei, will reveal the secret of the Rubik's Cube, show you an extraordinary Expo experience through interaction, and then watch robot cooking (but it actually feels no different from microwave cooking). You can stamp it outside without entering the museum.
6. Yuanda Pavilion (78 points): Enter the earthquake house to experience the feeling of the earthquake. The exhibition area enters the house built in Yuanda for 24 hours (propaganda can resist the earthquake of magnitude 9). The scene of Wenchuan earthquake reappears, and the characters are very realistic and unforgettable. Stamp at the exit of the venue, or you can stamp at the back door if you don't enter the venue.
7. Coca-Cola Pavilion (78 points): Two cartoon movies will be shown during the visit, and at the end, each person will be given a bottle of Coke (5 points will be added for the gift). The staff will also teach you how to shake the bottle to prevent it from freezing, but it depends on whether your gestures are correct or not. It's a bit magical, and it's a good place for Coca-Cola fans.
8. State Grid Pavilion (75 points): A 4-minute film will be shown in the "Magic Box".
9. Urban Footprint Museum (73 points): There is no need to queue up to show the ancient buildings and monuments in Dunhuang and Greece. Those who are interested in archaeology may wish to go.
1. Urban Future Pavilion (72 points): You don't have to wait in line to show the future world, but it is not worthy of the name. Personally, it is not as good as Footprint Pavilion.
11. China People's Insurance Pavilion (7 points): Stand on the shaking booth and watch a movie, experience earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers and other scenes, and finally watch a boring propaganda film.
12. Space Home Pavilion (65 points): Entering the exhibition area through the fast track is nothing to see, because
