"To save time and energy, visitors may make a route according to the location of pavilions they want to visit; choose a pavilion you want to see the most, and enter the Expo Garden at the gate closest to the pavilion. Pay attention to weather forecast. If it's too hot or it's raining, visitors may want to visit some unity pavilions first."

"I've gained so much from this experience. We often met some visitors who will not get on bus before take pictures with us. They said we are also part of the scene at the Expo Garden. We felt very content when they said that. An aunt took picture of me while I answered visitor's questions, and when she left, she said goodbye, the sweetie. I felt so warm to hear all this. The experience is precious indeed. Sure we felt tired, but the experience was rewarding."

" We have seen too much litter on the ground and we have spotted people jumping the queue or quarreling with others. It is very important to visit the Expo Garden with proper manners."

"I think the Urban Best Practices Area and the Theme pavilions deserve the most attention. I personally believe that the UBPA is the core exhibition of a green and livable city with a low-carbon footprint. The Copenhagen meeting was the first time Chinese people were exposed to the lifestyle of a low-carbon footprint; Expo 2010 Shanghai is the second time. If you do want to have insight into our urban society and development of urbanization, then you need to savor the UBPA and Theme pavilions carefully."
