Exposure
Crocodiles, jellyfish and other perils of the deep are not part of the Qiandaohu experience, meaning you can add swimming in the Great Outdoors, in azure waters veiling buried archeological treasures, to your stress-free trip into China's less-industrial past.
An Expo is meant to be the ultimate showcase for different fields such as technology, culture, science, design, and, of course, art. In the case of Expo 2010 Shanghai there are a number of pavilions that stand out for their artistic side: China, Mexico, France and Italy. They all offer priceless pieces of artwork among their highlights. They show that having a theme of cities and improvement of quality of life includes art.

"We see increasing hints encouraging people to smoke, such as matches and ashtrays by beds in hotels. Those who want to quit may be lured into smoking again. If we eliminate or decrease these hints, perhaps it's easier to create a smoke-free environment. I suggest that we close smoking rooms in the Expo Garden, which will make the Expo Garden entirely smoke free. Although the interests of smokers may be impaired, the image of Expo 2010 Shanghai will be promoted and the environment will be better."
