The first girder on the China Pavilion at Shanghai Expo was suspended today,
signaling construction of the most anticipated structure has entered a vital
stage.
The 32-ton steel girder will connect the four main columns that support the
pavilion called“The Crown of the East," which will also house a joint pavilion
for provinces and cities, as well as separate pavilions for Hong Kong, Macau and
Taiwan.
The roof of the building is expected to be completed by the end of the year
and the entire structure is scheduled to be finished by next September.
The 120,000-square-meter area explores the theme "Chinese Wisdom in Urban
Development," emphasizing traditional Chinese values of harmony, spirituality
and balance with nature.
