"I would say the Area D and E (on the Puxi side) look good to me, not only because they are less crowded, but they do show something different from LED screens and audiovisual effects, which you largely expect from the Pudong site. The Coca-Cola Pavilion, the Oil Pavilion and all the UBPAs are

interesting. You can get some souvenirs as well."

"I like both Area A and Area C.

The China Pavilion is magnificent, as it preserves the historical and cultural legacies of this ancient nation. The whole Area A leaves an impression as well. Area C is more technological-oriented. So both areas are fantastic."

"It is a hard choice. Well, if from the perspective of architecture and design, I am deeply indulged in all the pavilions of Area A. You know it takes a fairly long time to enter most of the pavilions, so sometimes

I just walk around and take some photos. "

"Definitely Area C. This area provides a diversified combo of different countries and regions. You get to see the European pavilions with a profound history, experience the US Pavilion

that inspires visitors with its motivating video clips, and you can stop by and shop at the African markets. Besides, I heard the French Pavilion and the African Joint Pavilion have given their one-

millionth visitor a surprise gift and someone just won a diamond from the Belgium Pavilion.

Isn't it a tour of fortune?"
