China - China Pavilion, Expo 2010, Shanghai

China Pavilion

China Pavilion's main color is the traditional, steady "Chinese Red", expressing the spirit of Chinese culture and temperament.  Its shape reflects a design concept  of "Oriental Crown, Splendid China, Ample Barn, and Rich People".  It is the most eye-catching pavilion of all.
