The Israel Pavilion has an elegant and novel shape. Part of the pavilion is glass and steel, and part is of brick and mortar. It looks like a glass water jar leaning against a sand dune.

The pavilion consists of three areas—the Whispering Garden, Hall of Light and Hall of Innovations. Trees in the Whispering Garden, a green orchard at the entrance, whisper in both English and Chinese when visitors walk close to them. A 15-meter-high screen in the Hall of Light shows films highlighting the country's innovations and technological achievements. A special audio-visual presentation in the Hall of Innovations allows visitors to talk with Israeli children, scientists, doctors and inventors via hundreds of screens.

Readers would find the Slovenia Pavilion the right place to go. The pavilion's exterior resembles a stack of books on shelves. At the entrance, visitors can pick up a copy of an essay entitled The Time of the End of Time by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek. Seven huge "opened books" are standing on the floor. All the gigantic books display images of the Slovenian countryside, brief text descriptions and a video presentation. The first book printed in Slovenian is exhibited.

The Hungary Pavilion is decorated with more than 800 wooden rods. These wooden rods not only reflect light, but will also rise and fall with changing music rhythms.

Under the suspending rods sticking from the ceiling is a huge stainless-steel ball called Gomboc. It was invented by two Hungarian engineers, Gabor Domokos and Peter Varkonyi. The Gomboc is the world's first self-righting object. It is a convex three-dimensional homogeneous body that has just one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium when put on a flat surface. It returns to one equilibrium position no matter how it is pushed or turned around. It behaves like a roly-poly toy, but the difference is that the density of a roly-poly toy varies across its body, but that of a Gomboc does not. In the Hungary Pavilion, visitors can also play with smaller Gomboc pieces made from aluminum, copper, brass and plexiglass.

In the Bangladesh Pavilion, a vigorous campaign was launched on July 19 to promote the Sundarbans Forest, its UNESCO world heritage and a candidate for the new Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The Sundarbans Forest is densely covered by mangrove forests, and is one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger. It is also home to more than 260 kinds of birds, reptiles and invertebrate species, including the salt-water crocodile. The new seven natural wonders will be announced on November 11, 2011 among all 28 candidates from six continents.

Visitors to the Lithuania Pavilion during July 13 to 20 were able to watch a replica fight of 15th-century medieval knights. Knights armed with swords, spears and shields show battle tactics used in those days.

The design of the Lithuania Pavilion came from flowers in bud, symbolizing a vigorous, prosperous and booming country and its cities. The exhibition centers on the success stories of urban development, architectural and cultural heritage, sports and scientific development, among others.
