The saudi pavillion "moonboat" was amazing. the Visual projection was both amazing and tells a terrific story about the Saudi culture.

the site is HUGE. Get an EXPO taxi (green/yellow) to drive your right to the ticket entrance (these are the ONLY taxi's allowed to go that far), and plan on walking exteriors, enjoying food snacks from different countries. You will take 100's of photos, since you won;t be able to resist the interesting designs.. Expect to try and enter at... More

My wife and I went to Shanghai to see the World Expo. We have heard of the long queues to the most popular pavilions. Hence, we thought of the best way to experience the Expo since we had to compete with half a million determined Chinese expo goers daily. The choice came down to waiting 3 hours per pavilion to...

Just returned from Expo 2010. I have been at many of these but the authorities at Shanghai DID NOT PLANED well the logistics of this one. Here are the WRONGS: a) They allowed more than 400,000 per day. Therefore, people had to line up for hours to see a pavillion. b) They open to late. 9am is already late c)... More

All the reviews about lines and line cutting are true. Know that, expect that and deal with it or stay home. I stayed away from any line over 30 minutes and if you plan and understand the best times to visit you can see many of the pavilions. The evening quiets down however some pavilions close early. Regardless we were... More

It was all about ideas, plans, working systems to make towns cleaner, less polluted and greener. There was such a lot of wonderful things to see and experience, Some of the ideas we saw were the...

We bought 3 day passes to world expo and were so disappointed with the long and rude queues, and the huge walking distances, that we gave away our 3rd day pass and went shopping instead. Not normally one to whinge, we were really disappointed that there was so little street amusement as we waited to see pavilions. The Saudi pavillion... More

Let me begin this review by explaining up front what was not clear to me before I got here. The content of the Shanghai Expo is international, but the primary target audience is the Chinese people, rather than the international visitor. The Chinese are justly proud of their country and what they’ve accomplished, relatively few of them have traveled outside... More

I spent nearly 11 hours at the Expo and saw so much. There are lots of people but hey, this is China, everywhere has lots of people! You won't get into the main China pavilion but at the bottom of the building is the China Provinces section which is great and no line when I went. Also Saudi Arabia has... More
