Expo 2010 Shanghai China

Theme: 1000-Year History of Hanoi
National Pavilion Day: September 2
Location: Within Zone A of the Expo Site
The facade of the 1,000-square-meter pavilion appears like a river and the bamboo surrounding it can reduce the heat from the sun. The design highlights Vietnamese culture. Visitors will learn about the country's profound history and culture as well as its wisdom in eco-protection and urban development.
Hanoi, also known as Thang Long in history, is celebrating its 1,000th anniversary in 2010. The pavilion will host some Vietnamese performances and instruments for the occasion.
The bamboo used as construction materials will be recycled after the Expo. They will be reused for social welfare facilities or rebuilding schools.
