The large roof covering the main body of the pavilion is a slope, whose uppermost part rises above the ground. The 4,000-square-meter roof is built into an open plaza covered with green grass.

The pavilion showcases the past, present and future of Mexican cities, including Mexican treasures, cultural heritages, and rich and unique ecological resources. The relics of Mayan civilization, such as snake-shaped decorations, totems and masks, are especially eye-opening.

Singapore Pavilion: A 'Music Box'

The Singapore Pavilion has the appearance of a music box, and bears the theme of "Urban Symphony." Various parts of the pavilion, including musical fountains and a rooftop garden, are in harmony with each other, and delight visitors with a "synchronized melody."

The pavilion is also environment friendly. It is equipped with natural temperature control system and is built with recyclable building materials.

 

MODERN STREET CORNER: Cuba Pavilion (YU XIANGJUN) 

Cuba Pavilion: World Expo Debut

The theme of the Cuba Pavilion is "A City for Everyone." The pavilion structures include an information bureau, shop and bar.

Handicrafts with Cuban flavor and CDs of Cuban music are available at the shop inside the pavilion. The Havana Cigar House displays classical Cuban cigars as well as information on the culture and history of cigars. Cuban cocktails are served at the Havana Club Bar inside the pavilion.

Walking through these buildings, visitors will feel like they are at the center of a Cuban town. The multi-functional public square not only represents the core spirit of Cuban cities, but also demonstrates the theme of the pavilion—providing equal opportunities for all residents and involving them in urban construction and transformation.
