The World Expo 2010 is taken place in Shanghai of China during the period from May 1 to October 31, 2010. The Expo site is located at both Pudong and Puxi separated by the Huangpu River. The theme of the Expo 2010 is “Better City, Better life” which highlights the common wish of better quality of life in people living in cities.
Shanghai celebrated the grand opening of the 41st batch world exposition in the evening of April 30, 2010. There were magnificent cultural and variety shows conducted in the Expo Cultural Center next to the Huangpu River. Performers are famous local and international singers, movie stars, and dancers. Opposite to the Expo Cultural Center across the river, there was a mega-size TV screen standing by the waterfront. This allowed crowds of spectators watch TV shows along the opposite riverbank.  Over the river, there were dancing fountain and laser light shows.  In the final section of the opening ceremony, spectacular fireworks lighted up the sky for more than 30 minutes.
