Liaoning and Hubei provinces yesterday started the interior decoration and exhibit arrangement of their pavilions, laying a solid foundation for their showcase at the upcoming Expo.

Liaoning's stainless steel pavilion will feature a bird fossil dating back 121 million years. Multimedia exhibits will take visitors through time to explore the province's past, present and future.

Hubei, known for its rich water resources, will create a flowing exhibition at the Expo, from the philosophy of water to people's wisdom in using it.

Visitors will be able to touch interactive displays to discover lakes and rivers, fish and water treatment.
