Africa Pavilion in Shanghai


What do Chinese think of African presence in the Shanghai World Expo?

I found several blog posts and news in Chinese that highlight some impressions of the African United Pavilion:

1. Chinese officers in charge of the Pavilion told media that China donated $100 million to the African Pavilion, and all 43 African country participants were beneficiaries. (Xinhua)


2. African Pavilion is called the "Most Flavored" pavilion. It is "cute and the Africans are very welcoming". The 3-meter smiling lion statue is the most popular among all exotic things, attracting tens of thousands to take a photo under her feet. And, what's even better is compared to long lines in front of other pavilions, there is no line and visitors are easily get in and out. (Foshan Daily)


3. The statue wall with faces are the most attractive in African Pavilion, some exhibitors are still not yet fully prepared as of May 2. (Blog)
