Il programma nel dettaglio

The main structure of the China Pavilion, "The Crown of the East," has a distinctive roof, made of traditional Dougong or brackets, which date back more than 2,000 years. This unique structural component of interlocking wooden brackets is one of the most important elements in traditional Chinese architecture. Dougong was widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC-467 BC).


The Saudi Arabia Pavilion features a fine centerpiece: a huge hanging boat shaped like a half moon. The ""moon boat"" is loaded with dreams and friendship. Date palms have been planted on the top deck of the boat, creating a hanging garden, and thus epitomizing the oases in the desert. Visitors will receive a warm welcome in both modern as well as traditional Bedouin tents set among date palm trees.
