The Guangdong Pavilion yesterday receives its millionth visitor.

The Guangdong Pavilion yesterday received its millionth visitor, a man surnamed Yan from Hubei Province, who was rewarded with a bicycle as a symbol of green transportation.

Daily attendance to the pavilion hits 25,000 on average, with a record high of 37,655.

The Guangdong pavilion inside the China Joint Provincial Pavilion is shaped in the style of Qilou building. As a stylishly classic fusion of Eastern and Western architecture, Qilou, or Chinese arcade houses, serve as a cultural landmark in the coastal cities of south China.

It is also inspired by the paper-cutting craft. The three sections of Green Life, Green Cities and Green Myths interpret the pursuit of green life through high-tech means and ingenious thoughts.
