Because I didn’t go to the Olympics, the World Expo happened to come to China. Many friends wanted to go see it and experience it. This is normal. With this mentality, I went to Shanghai with my friends a few days ago to experience the World Expo for myself.

After a while, I can’t talk about strategies. Now I have a little advice to share with friends who want to go there to avoid taking many unnecessary detours.

Because after going there, I discovered that many of the things and experiences mentioned in the media simply did not work on site, or even did not exist at all. They were just talking nonsense and fooling readers.

The following is my personal experience. It is purely a suggestion and has no other intentions. Please don’t misunderstand me. If you have any additions, you are always welcome.

1. Before going, be sure to do your homework. ***There are 18 national pavilions and a total of ***24 venues. It is impossible to go to them all. I went to more than 70 pavilions in 3 days. I don’t know where you want to go.

Visit the venues and learn about the country's history, culture, and folk customs in advance. This way, it will be more focused and you will gain more.

2. Be sure to practice map reading before going, because when entering the park, everyone is given a map of the Expo. You have to read the map and conduct your own tour.

3. Before going, you must exercise your endurance and physical strength, because visiting the park is a physically and mentally taxing exercise. You must be fully prepared and wear flat shoes.

(My endurance and physical strength are relatively good. After fighting for three days in a row, I feel tired).

4. As for the ticket issue, 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 for one day. Buy a one-day ticket on the first day, get a feel for it before entering the park, and then make a decision based on your own situation.

5. Before going to Shanghai, it is recommended to book a hotel in advance and check the route and transfer subway number. This can effectively save time. I went with my friends. Before going, my friends had all agreed on the route and the route.

It was well arranged, so we saved time and energy. We would like to thank our friends who were traveling with us, especially Lao Yu.

6. Prepare change. In order to save time, you usually take the subway. The subway basically sells tickets automatically. 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan. Prepare change.

7. If you are flying to Shanghai (I am flying to Shanghai), the airport security check is very strict, so do not bring metal objects or unnecessary things to avoid missing the flight.

8. Everyone wants to see the China Pavilion when entering the Expo. Although it is a reserved pavilion and can be seen in the future, no one wants to see the China Pavilion alone in the future.

Therefore, you must queue up early in the morning. When you enter the park at 9 o'clock, you have to queue up at least an hour in advance to get a reservation ticket for the China Pavilion (I got a reservation ticket for the China Pavilion on the first day I entered the park. I was lucky.

On the one hand, it was good, but on the other hand, I went early, an hour in advance).

The reservation tickets for the China Pavilion are not machine-booked. They are issued manually by the staff at the entrance to the park. There are a total of 50,000 tickets per day. Excluding those ordered by tour groups, the remaining tickets are available at 7 entrances. There is a ticket at each entrance.

There are 30 security checkpoints to enter, so if you want to enter the China Pavilion, you have to do it yourself.

9. When entering the park, the security check is also very strict. Liquids are strictly not allowed. Lighters are not allowed, but cigarettes are allowed. There is a smoking area in the park with spark plugs.

In fact, you don’t need to bring water at all. There are drinking water areas everywhere in the park, which is very convenient.

10. When entering the park in the morning, be sure not to run because the ground has just been scrubbed and is very slippery.

(My friend has personal experience) 11. When entering the park, bring as little stuff as you can. If you don’t have a bag, you can take the bag-free passage. There are few people and you can enter the park quickly.

12. The food in the park is indeed relatively expensive and the quantity is very small. It is only for tasting and cannot satisfy hunger. It is recommended to bring your own food into the park (myself and my friends brought our own burgers into the park for lunch).

If you find it troublesome and insist on dining in the park, I recommend the restaurants in Area A (Asia) which are more affordable.

There is a designated spot selling bread in the European area. The price starts at 10 yuan. One is enough for me, and the quality is assured.

13. As for the gifts from foreign national pavilions that the media mentioned, I went there and found that some of them were no longer available. Due to the large number of people entering the park, they were basically distributed 15 days before the park opened.

So, I hope you give up the idea of ??giveaways.

Now basically only Oman, Singapore, Japan and other venues still have free gifts.

14. As for sightseeing, I have been to almost all the big pavilions and a lot of small pavilions. I have some suggestions: Asian area: Needless to say, the China National Pavilion, I must go there. The time on the reservation ticket is just a reminder, as long as

During the day, before closing, you can go at any time, but you need to queue up. Although you can't see it from the outside, you can queue up in the lobby inside the Oriental Crown. I visited it at night and waited in line for more than 40 minutes to get in.

Of course, after entering, I don’t regret it, it’s really great.

There are very many people visiting the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan pavilions, and the queues usually last for more than 2 hours. It is recommended that you don’t go there. They are all from China, so just go to the actual sites. There are also provincial and municipal pavilions, so you don’t have to visit them if you don’t have time. They are all

Domestic, basic understanding.
