Shanghai 2010, under construction

This inverted pyramid structure -nearly complete- is the China pavilion,
the physical model...

the real one...

From Shanghai's Lupu Bridge, above the Huangpu River, one obtains a complete high-altitude view of the World Expo 2010 site.

You are looking at the largest Expo fairground in the century-and-a-half history of Expos, to be filled with the largest number of confirmed attendees (200 or more countries).
