British Pavilion put on funny shows for visitors waiting in line to get into the pavilion or those in the plazas to help them relieve fatigue and anxiety through interactive activities.
The Shanghai World Expo, after operating for more than one month, is becoming increasingly enjoyable and pleasant to tourists. What has impressed you the most at the Expo Site? Here are 10 highlights of the Expo that may remind you of the wonderful and unforgettable moments.
The most romantic: French-style wedding
The French-style wedding was undoubtedly the most romantic activity held at the Expo site thus far. On May 11, a French-style wedding ceremony was held at the concert hall of the Expo Culture Center for 35 pairs of Chinese lovers in wedding dresses. Moreover, there will be three similar collective wedding ceremonies in June, September and October. These weddings will be extremely attractive to lovers.
The most beautiful: Snow in summer
Can you imagine that it actually snows in the South Korea Corporate Pavilion every day during this hot summer? According to organizers of this beautiful pavilion, they know that it seldom snows in Shanghai, so they have specially prepared such a heartwarming gift in hopes that tourists can feel happy when seeing the snow.
The most thrilling: 4-D movies
If you are timid, never watch a 4-D film at the Oil Pavilion in the Puxi section of the Expo Site. Watching these films, you can feel the airplane grazing your head, and the snake in the prehistoric forest biting your back and legs. The 4-D films produce wonderful effects so you can see, hear, touch and smell it. You will definitely feel immersed in the movie and sometimes yell out uncontrollably.
The most wonderful: The Argentine Tango
Xie Huan was watching the Tango in Argentina Pavilion. Standing in a corner of the overcrowded hall and staring at the young male and female dancers on stage, she broke into tears. After the show, all the visitors slowly left except Xie, who forced her way to the stage. She stood there exclaiming "So wonderful!" again and again.
The dancers are named Christian and Manuela. Christian said the dance does not need verbal communication. As he watched many Chinese people nodding and stamping their feet to the beat of music, he thought that they all understood.
The most interesting clown: Fran
British comedian Fran, who wears a swimming cap, a zebra suit and a floatation ring around his waist, can unexpectedly appear behind you at anytime. How can he not steal the spotlight?
Fran is a clown at the Bread and Butter Theatre Company in Britain, and his performance is to jump out from behind visitors who are taking pictures, giving them a surprise with funny faces.
This is the power brought by happiness. Some other performers in the British Pavilion will put on funny shows for visitors waiting in line to get into the pavilion or those in the plazas to help them relieve fatigue and anxiety through interactive activities. |
