Expo 2010 Shanghai - Mexico Pavilion

Expo 2010 Shanghai - Mexico Pavilion
Dec 02, 2009 By eChinacities.com

Unlike most other pavilions at the Expo, there will be no visible building for the Mexico Pavilion. Instead, visitors will be greeted by a “kite forest” consisting of a green slope with a total of 135 kites being flown over it. Seen from afar it will look there are hundreds of people flying kites together. Visitors can read a book, have a picnic or simply relax on the grass under the shade of the kites. They can also buy a traditional Mexican-style kite from the pavilion and fly it to recall the fun of their childhoods.

The kites, to be made in eco-friendly plastic, will be in red, pink, yellow, green and blue, to make the pavilion one of the most colorful Expo exhibits. The kites will be about 8 meters long and 4 meters wide, larger than normal kites, and supported by poles each 3 meters to 13 meters tall.

However, the pavilion will be more than a square for fun. The exhibition area will be a two-story area under the square, showcasing Mexico's culture, landscapes, cities and the ancient Maya civilization. Some cultural relics of the Mayans will also be exhibited. Once inside the main exhibition area, visitors will be taken on a chronological journey through the history of Mexico from the pre-Hispanic era to proposals for the future.
