I will give you a 3-day guide, but you will think that there will be slight changes due to the increase in crowds during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day
The first day
Come at 8:30 Go to the Yaohua Road entrance and wait in line to enter. After preparing to enter the venue at 9:00, go to the reservation machine at the entrance to reserve a time to visit the China Pavilion.
Individual visitors must make on-site reservations when visiting each exhibition hall in the park. If you go with a travel agency, you will save yourself the trouble of making reservations. For super popular venues like the China Pavilion, the organizer implements a 100-person reservation system, so make a reservation before entering the park to avoid regrets about not being able to visit. There are 200 reservation machines at each entrance and exit of the park. Just ask the volunteers when you enter and you will know where they are. Of course, there are volunteers next to the reservation machines who will teach you how to operate them. Just bring your valid ID and tickets.
After making the reservation, you can safely go on a one-day visit. When entering the park, walk from the Expo axis to the end of the Celebration Square, where a grand opening ceremony will be held. After reading it, go to the Expo Center, where the opening ceremony of the National Pavilion Day is held every day. If you are lucky, you can also meet a certain national leader or a certain big star.
After seeing the Expo Center, you can go to the Theme Pavilion, where there are four venues, namely the Urban People Pavilion, the Life Pavilion, the Earth Pavilion, and the Public Participation Pavilion. Although these venues are all in the same building, they have to queue up separately. Generally, the one with the smaller queue is chosen to visit first, so there is no need to waste precious time. What I want to tell you here is that in principle, each venue in the park has two visiting routes. The fast lane is only for tourists who want to see the scenery. It is recommended that you take the slow lane in the main venues and self-built venues in various countries.
The Life and Sunshine Pavilion in the Urban People Pavilion is worth a visit. It is the first disabled pavilion in the history of the World Expo. The volunteers and commentators are all disabled.
There is a sky bridge in the Earth Museum, and below it is the Earth. If you continue to visit, you will find that there is a large dome cinema in the Earth.
Theme Pavilion
After visiting the theme pavilion, it should be lunch time. If you just walked from the Expo Center to the Theme Pavilion, you will definitely find a Chinese food street between the Expo Center and the Theme Pavilion, where you can find the specialties of 31 provinces, cities, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, and the 8 major Chinese cuisines. There are all kinds of cuisines. Although there are some free tastings, there will be a lot of people, so you should pay to find a seat, provided that there is a seat.
When you are full, you can go to the performing arts center to watch a show and take a break while blowing the air conditioner. The Oriental Song and Dance Troupe has two free performances every day at the Performing Arts Center. Just check the time before going.
After the show, you can walk from the Performing Arts Center towards the China Pavilion. You will see the Taiwan Pavilion first. The building looks like a toilet, but the LED dome sky lantern inside is the highlight. The designer of this building once designed the Taipei 101 Building.
The next day
For the next day’s itinerary, I still recommend that everyone arrive at the park at 8:30. It is recommended to enter the park from the Changqing Road gate. The first thing you need to do when entering the park is to make an appointment. It is recommended that you make an appointment for the American, British, French, and Swiss pavilions. The appointment time can be in the afternoon or evening.
Thailand Pavilion
Entering the park from the Changqing Road entrance is the Thailand Pavilion on the right. It is easy to find. It has a strong Thai style. There is a mascot inside, which is green and called "Atai". ”, you can take photos with him, browse briefly and then leave the museum to continue visiting. The large rusty building in front of the Thailand Pavilion is the Australian Pavilion. Australia attaches great importance to participating in the World Expo and is worth a visit. The circular music box-like building on the right hand side of Australia is the Singapore Pavilion. The venue is not big, there is a garden on the top floor where you can rest, and there is a musical fountain in the square. Next to the Singapore Pavilion is the Malaysia Pavilion, a typical building in Southeast Asia. There is a stage where you can watch performances featuring dances of 47 ethnic groups in Malaysia. There are also introductions to some Malaysian tourist cities. After watching it, we went to the New Zealand Pavilion and saw a Maori dance performance before entering the pavilion. When you enter, you will be attracted by the beautiful New Zealand scenery, because the special effects of the venue were made by the special effects team of "Lord of the Rings", making you immersed in the scene.
When you leave the New Zealand Pavilion, look for a building with many bamboos coming out of the roof. That is the Indonesian Pavilion. There is a Cambodian Pavilion between the New Zealand Pavilion and the Indonesian Pavilion. Because it is a rental pavilion, you can see it or not. In fact, the Indonesia Pavilion only requires taking photos. After visiting the Indonesia Pavilion, you can go to the Joint Pavilion of International Organizations, Brunei Pavilion, and Philippines Pavilion. You will find that you have gone around in a circle. At this time, you can take a rest and eat something in the leisure square.
United Nations Joint Pavilion
Directly, please go up the elevated walkway towards the Huangpu River. Go down when you see the blue UN Pavilion. That is the United Nations Joint Pavilion. You must see it. of. The World Meteorological Organization Pavilion next to it is the most exciting. It is the only self-built pavilion of an international organization. If the weather is good, you can see a rainbow outside the venue. Walking further to the Red Cross Pavilion, it is also worth a look, a white tent-like building. The light blue building next to it is the Pacific Union Pavilion, and you can take a quick look at it. Go out to the theme square and watch the show. Walking towards the United Nations Pavilion are two rental pavilions - the World Trade Pavilion and the International Information Pavilion. If there are not many people, go and check it out.
It should be noon when you visit here. Please eat and drink enough, because the journey below is very exciting. Crossing the road (Changqing Road) next to the United Nations Pavilion, you see a rattan basket. That is the Spanish Pavilion. You must see it. Next to the leisure square at the entrance are the Monaco and Serbia pavilions. They are both rental pavilions, so you don’t have to look at them. But on the other side of the leisure square is the Belgium-EU Pavilion, where you can eat chocolate for free. If you do your homework well, you can also participate in a quiz about European knowledge. Diamonds will be drawn for you every week, and grand prizes will be drawn for you every month. European travel. Next to Belgium is Poland. You should also look at it. It looks like a paper-cut box with a cafe on it. Next to the Polish Pavilion, there is a cable car on the side of the Huangpu River, which is the Swiss Pavilion. Personally, I think the cable car is its only highlight. IMAX is not as big as the Saudi Pavilion, and the content is not good. However, the facade of the Swiss Pavilion will flash. Please use your camera flash to shine on it. It will convert wind energy and light energy into electrical energy. Next to the Swiss Pavilion is the French Pavilion, which contains many art treasures, including Rodin's "The Bronze Age" and so on. In addition, 2,010 couples will hold a large-scale wedding ceremony inside. Next to the French Pavilion and next to the Polish Pavilion is the German Pavilion. There is a ball inside that will swing if you shout loudly. There are many interactive exhibits. Put away your cameras and beware of thieves. Come and have fun inside.
Denmark Pavilion
After visiting the German Pavilion, cross the North Ring Road to the Irish Pavilion, take a look around and then go to the Norwegian Pavilion. The Norwegian pavilion is not big, it is a tree and membrane structure. Next to it are Ukraine and Iceland. They are not big and it is not a waste of time to see them. Next is the Swedish Pavilion. It is recommended to walk through the four boxes. What you see when you come down is the Danish Pavilion. You can experience the bicycles in the Danish Pavilion. The 500 bicycles only have front brakes. As long as you pedal backwards, the rear brakes will be activated. There is also a statue of the Little Mermaid in the Danish Pavilion, which is a national treasure and must be seen. Next to the Danish Pavilion is the Finnish Pavilion. Finland also attaches great importance to the World Expo. The services and exhibits are not bad, and the Nordic people are not short of money. Opposite the Denmark Pavilion and Finland Pavilion are the Latvian Pavilion and Estonia Pavilion. If you are tired, you can go and have a look at the leisure square.
After visiting the Finland Pavilion, cross the elevated walkway and go to the Portuguese Pavilion, Slovakia Pavilion, and Czech Pavilion opposite. These are all rental pavilions, among which the Czech Pavilion is pretty good. The Czech Pavilion used to be the European Union Pavilion 1 and 2, and the Hungarian Pavilion, Bosnia and Herzegovina Pavilion and Belarus Pavilion were all nearby. This group of pavilions are all rented pavilions and self-built pavilions. If you don’t have enough time, you don’t have to visit them.
After seeing the Hungary Pavilion, you can pass by the Caribbean Pavilion across Xiying Road and the Cuban Pavilion opposite. The Cuba Pavilion used to be the Venezuela Pavilion. Go in and circle around in a figure-eight shape to come out of the Chile Pavilion. There is a well inside. Take a photo because Chile is on the other side of the world. Next to Chile is Mexico. When you are tired, you can go to the kite forest to rest, but the venue is underground, which is very cool! After passing the Mexico Pavilion, we went to the Canada Pavilion. There was Cirque du Soleil in the Canadian Pavilion, which was very exciting. The Canada Pavilion used to be the Peruvian Pavilion, and it had delicious food! Then there are the Colombian Pavilion and the Brazilian Pavilion. If you go in June, the Brazilian Pavilion will have broadcasts and replays of the World Cup games.
Did you see the American Pavilion after leaving the Brazilian Pavilion? Don’t go there yet, first go to the Central and South American Joint Pavilion. It was a very charming venue that was renovated from the Shanghai No. 3 Steel Plant’s heavy plate vehicle inspection. Then you can visit the American Pavilion, which has a waterfall and a big screen. It is really not easy for the United States to visit the World Expo. I almost ran out of money and stopped coming, so you must see it.
At this time, you should have dinner. The American Pavilion has a restaurant and many surrounding supporting services. You can choose by yourself.
Luxembourg Pavilion
After viewing the US Pavilion, there are a series of rental pavilions: Argentina, Slovenia, South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, Libya, Lithuania and Croatia. After reading this, go to the Russian Pavilion, a fairy tale world with 12 petal towers. Then I saw a cut green apple and went inside to watch a movie. It was the Romanian pavilion. After visiting the Romania Pavilion, we went to the Austria Pavilion, then the Netherlands Pavilion, and then the Luxembourg Pavilion. Although it is a self-built pavilion, let’s take a quick look. Italy is a very good venue. If you look at it yourself, you will find that the building material is transparent concrete, which is translucent! Next to it is the dazzling British Pavilion. Although it is small, it is really beautiful. Tens of thousands of luminous tentacles swing in the wind. You can imagine what it will be like without going there.
African Joint Pavilion
Finally, end your day by going to the African Joint Pavilion. There is an African market inside and you can buy some souvenirs. When you leave the museum, you will see a 10-hectare amusement park. There is actually nothing interesting about it. Go to Disneyland in 2014! It used to be Houtan Park, the only wetland park in the city center. It was suitable for romantic couples, but there were a lot of mosquitoes in summer.
Just outside Houtan is Metro Line 7, and the next day’s journey ends here.
Day 3
During the first two days of the journey, everyone had already walked away from the exhibition halls in the Pudong Park of the World Expo. Many people think that the pavilion in Puxi is not the focus. In fact, as long as you understand the World Expo, you will find that the corporate pavilion also played a very important role in the World Expo. At the same time, the organizers of this World Expo also provided everyone with an exhibition called "The City's Most Expo". "Best Practice Zone" is a place where everyone can learn about the efforts made by various countries to improve the quality of urban life.
On the third day, I still hope that everyone will arrive at the entrance of the park at 8:30. Take Metro Line 8 and get off at Xizang South Road Station, which is the largest entrance to the Puxi Expo Park.
The first thing you see when you enter is the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Museum, which was renovated from an old factory. In layman’s terms, it is the China Shipbuilding Enterprise Museum. Inside, you can see the history of Chinese shipbuilding, as well as a model of Zheng He's treasure ship. Zheng He's fleet was invincible more than 400 years ago, and Columbus and Magellan were latecomers.
China Shipbuilding Pavilion
After coming out of China Shipbuilding Pavilion, walk towards Nanpu Bridge. First, go to China Private Enterprise Pavilion. Private enterprises such as Alibaba and Red Star Macalline will be inside. Joint exhibition. Then there is Vanke. As the largest real estate developer in China, it is indeed quite rich! The pavilion is made of pressed wheat stacks. You can go and see what Chinese cities will look like in 2049. Next to Vanke is the Yuanda Pavilion. This air-conditioning company is amazing. The architectural concept and design of the venue reflect environmental protection. The venue can be built in a short time. In addition, there is a display of new energy-saving and environmentally friendly air conditioners.
After watching the Broad Pavilion, we went to the Urban Best Practices Area and visited the remaining corporate pavilions in the afternoon. After that, the exhibition halls in Osaka and Taipei are pretty good, and the case in Sao Paulo, Brazil is worth seeing. After seeing the overpass, go up. Near Zhongshan South Road is the most exciting northern construction case area of ??the Urban Best Practice Area.
There are Shanghai’s “Shanghai Ecologists” there, telling everyone about the innovation of modern living environment. There is also a century-old pawnshop - Macau Decheng Press. There is Jin Yong Library up there, where your favorite martial arts characters will appear. If you are lucky, you may encounter Jin Yong personally signing books. In addition, Daming Palace in Xi’an and Tengtou Village in Ningbo are also good. From abroad, I recommend everyone to visit the Zero Carbon Pavilion in London, the Burger House in Hamburg, the Tent City in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and the Bamboo House in Madrid.
By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Urban Best Practice Area is an exhibit in itself, and all the lighting effects come from the design of Lyon, France.
London Case Museum
After reading this, everyone goes over the overpass to the southern block. You will see a square called World City Square. If you are tired of walking, you can sit under the tent. To enjoy the shade, those large awnings cost 2 million apiece! There is a stage in the center of the square where you can watch performances. Under the chimney is the Future Pavilion, which you can go see in the afternoon. It's noon, and the first priority is to eat. The restaurant near the overpass of the Future Museum is the largest in Puxi. I recommend eating there.
The first stop in the afternoon was the Future Museum, the one under the chimney. I was lucky enough to see Teacher Ni and me. In it, we will tell you about our future urban life, as well as the "past future", which is the problems faced by current urban life. The Museum of the Future is very big, so take your time and experience it.
After visiting the Future Pavilion, please go back to the Enterprise Pavilion. This time the tour route is China Aviation, Information and Communications, and SAIC General. The China Aviation Museum is like a white cloud, and many people who have never flown can go and experience it. The Information and Communications Museum was created by China Mobile and China Telecom. Bring your mobile phone and let you know the true meaning of unlimited communication in the information age. The SAIC-GM Pavilion will take you to experience the urban traffic conditions in 2030.
SAIC General Motors Pavilion
Afterwards, you can watch performances at the Expo Square and play next to the old dock of the original Jiangnan Shipyard. Then go to the Aurora Pavilion. If you love collecting, it is the first choice to visit the World Expo site. If you don’t like it, understanding the Chinese jade culture is also a kind of learning. The Aurora Pavilion is a railway pavilion. Wherever there is a city, there is a railway. Friends who often travel can pay attention to it. Next to the Railway Museum is the Shanghai Enterprise Joint Pavilion. It is a beautiful exhibition hall. Yu Qiuyu is the art director. The facade is decorated with CDs and has many high-tech elements. Inside is the world's most advanced robot - Haibao. Next to the Shanghai Enterprise Joint Pavilion is the People's Insurance Company of China. I personally find it boring, but since I'm here, let's go and check it out.
Shanghai Enterprise Joint Pavilion
Jiangnan Park can be used for you to rest and eat. You can go to see the Coca-Cola Pavilion at night. It's easy to find. The building is a big Coca-Cola bottle. After reading it, go to the Space Home Museum next to it, where the most advanced aerospace technology is on display. Then go to the State Grid Pavilion. There are reservations on the State Grid Pavilion's website, so you can go in directly without queuing. There are some interactive exhibitions in the State Grid Pavilion, and the exhibition hall design is also very novel and worth looking forward to. When you look up from the State Grid Pavilion, you will see the big screen of the Petroleum Pavilion. You can see how China's petroleum industry is doing. In today's world, oil is king! Close to the Huangpu River is the Korean Enterprise Joint Pavilion, where Emart, Samsung, Hyundai, and LG will all exhibit. It is recommended that you take a photo outside the venue, because after the Expo, the building materials will be made into environmentally friendly bags and given away. Used by Shanghai citizens.
Then, you can learn about the 160-year history of the World Expo and visit the World Expo Museum. The World Expo Museum and Variety Hall are one building, and you can watch performances inside. After reading it, go to the Civilization Museum to learn about the city’s yesterday. Next to the Civilization Pavilion is the Japan Industrial Federation Pavilion. Japan has always attached great importance to participating in the World Expo. I believe the exhibits inside will not disappoint you.
Finally, you can leave the park from the Luban Road exit. The exit is the Lupu Bridge. During the day, you can pay 68 yuan to climb to the top and overlook the entire park. At the Luban Road exit, there are subway lines 4 and 17, 36, 146 and other buses for departure.
Core tip: October is the last exhibition month of the World Expo, and there are many designated days. Some people want to visit the park before the closing, some want to see more exciting content on the designated days, or they have several tickets on hand and are looking forward to inviting friends to go with them. In short, there are many, many reasons that allow us to foresee the final madness in the Expo.
Now that the hot weather has eased slightly, it’s a great time to visit the Expo. More than half of the World Expo period has passed, but people's enthusiasm for watching the Expo has not diminished at all. It seems that it is the general trend to break the record of the highest number of visitors on that day.
Now that you’re in the midst of the selection process, hurry up and plan your itinerary in September. If you are in good physical condition and get up early, you can rush to compete for reservation tickets for those super popular venues at the moment you enter the park. It is worthwhile to go early. If you don’t want to join in the excitement, you can still have a wonderful experience and gain by just taking a quick look around. Of course, this requires some homework in advance.
A different approach: Taobao Practice Area Recommendation Index: ★★★★
The Urban Best Practice Area was a little deserted at the beginning of its opening. Firstly, the regional popularity of Puxi venues was generally low. Secondly, because the location here is really not good, you still have to go back the same way after the visit, and you have to walk all the way. With the connection of bus lines and the linkage of east-west exhibition viewing, it has finally brought a lot of popularity to the practice area. However, compared to the crowds in popular areas, this place still seems a lot more relaxed.
The Urban Best Practice Area displays excellent cases in urban governance and planning from all over the world. Therefore, it is also the only place in the park where you can appreciate the customs of various countries for the second time. At this time, when you go to case museums in super popular countries, you will find the same customs and customs, more condensed attractions, and more prominent cutting-edge technologies. Sometimes you can even walk into the museum without queuing, and the tour guide will explain the whole process, making you feel like a VIP. treatment.
Learn about the environmentally friendly cooling principles of Passive House at the Hamburg House in Germany, experience the customs of northwest England in the Liverpool Pavilion, experience the most cutting-edge technology in the Taipei Pavilion, as well as Odense in Denmark, Madrid in Spain, Canada Vancouver... an excellent example city from various countries. As the pace progresses, there is something wonderful everywhere.
Engineer: The Saudi Pavilion, which has the largest number of people queuing up every day, also has its case pavilion - the Tent City in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. There are commentators throughout the process. You might as well go and take a look at the Mina Tent City in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. How to solve the housing problem of 3 million people within 4 square kilometers.
Other way: Find wonderful things in small restaurants Recommendation index: ★★★★★
If you walk around the park, you will know which ones are good and which are bad. Experts who have visited the expo N times have come up with their favorite recommendations. Venues with short queue time and some highlights seem to be the best choice for a relaxing visit.
Engineer: Of course, if you linger in the park, there are more exciting things for you to discover, such as going to the Principality of Monaco to watch a 6-minute synthetic animation blockbuster that tells the story of fifteen thousand years of history. Formula racing tribute.
An alternative approach: Recommendation index for selected event days: ★★★
Search for national pavilion days and event weeks in September, and go to those venues or venues that excite you on specific days. Activity center, to harvest the most satisfying scenery or a piece of luck.
On British National Pavilion Day, a wonderful concert is the world premiere, and there is also the ballet "A Journey with the Swan on the Water Side" to take you into a romantic and beautiful situation.
