World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is the occasion for China to bring the world at home, and for the world to feel at home in China. By dedicating a 5.28-square-kilometer area at the core of the city to exhibitions, events and forums on the Expo theme, "Better City, Better Life," Shanghai hopes to build a powerful and lasting pilot example of sustainable and harmonious urban living.
On November 18, 1999, the Chinese government officially decided that Shanghai would bid for the 2010 World Expo. With support from home and abroad, Shanghai won the bid on December 3, 2002, at the 132nd General Assembly of the International Exhibitions Bureau.
The www.expo2010china.com, managed by the Bureau of the Shanghai World Expo Coordination, is the only official Website of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China. The Website is the source of authoritative, accurate and timely information relating to the development of Expo 2010. It acts as an information centre and a working platform for the running of the Expo in four versions: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English and Japanese. The French version was also launched on July 13, 2008.
Tencent Inc (www.qq.com), the only Internet service senior sponsor of World Expo 2010, operates and maintains the Website. Tencent is China's largest Internet service provider and the Internet firm with the largest number of users in China.
The Website is the channel where people can learn and keep posted about World Expo 2010. It also serves as a bridge so that more people can participate in the event.
The Shanghai Daily, the city's leading English newspaper, begins to provide English content and design work for the Website in September 2006.
Xi’an Tour (August 29, 2010)
This tour begins at the Terracotta Warriors, where is a must-see, while travelling Xian. We arrange it as the first stop. A tour guide will take to this great wonder made by ancient Chinese. After lunch, we will continue to visit Shaanxi Museum and Big Goose Pagoda-the landmark of Xian.
Terracotta Warriors: Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged inbattle formations symbolically guard the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang , the first emperor of the Qin dynasty (246-209B.C). The State Council authorized the building of a museum on the site in 1975 for the protection of the discovery. So far, altogether over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been unearthed and displayed in the museum. It is cited as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' and was listed by UNESCO in 1987
as one of the world cultural heritages.
Big Goose Pagoda: The pagoda (7 floors,64.5 meters high) where widely renowned Master Xuanzang (Monk Tripitaka) stored his classics brought from India.
Shaanxi Museum: The Shaanxi History Museum considers it an obligation to be a showcase of ancient civilizations. It is situated in the southern suburb of Xian City, northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Since it was opened to the public in 1991, its architectural buildings, internal apparatus, and exhibits have made it famous as a first-class museum in China.
There is no better way to experience a different culture than to try out the local food, right? Enjoy in Xi'an feasting on a Dumpling Banquet, whilst sitting back and relaxing to a cultural Tang Dynasty Show filled with vibrant costumes, colourful dance and traditional music that have graced the region for centuries.
It would be kindly advised that your experience in Xi'an begins with a feast of local dumplings, nearly 20 varieties that are steamed and stuffed with a delicious assortment of vegetables, meats and seafood. You'll then experience the local color and pageantry of the Tang Dynasty Show. We wish that the trip and entertainment to Xi’an for you with your family would fill a memorable time in this walled city.
