| Denmark Pavilion |
Both Denmark and China are nations of bikes. The Denmark Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai advocates the benefit of bicycles as the energy free transport for cities. Over a hundred bicycles are available for visitors to experience the Denmark city life with zero-carbon transport. The snow-white Denmark Pavilion consists of two circular ramps spiraling around a beautiful pool in an open area. There are pedestrian and bicycle tracks on the ramps. At the center of the pavilion, the little Mermaid sculpture sits on a rock in the middle of the pool. Throughout the journey walking up to the top of the pavilion, we saw the displays of the famous Denmark products such as beer and toy LEGO. There were not much to see. After we had reached the top of the pavilion which was an open area, we continued our walkway and eventually back to the ground level. The Denmark Pavilion looks great. It has won a prestige award from an American-based exhibitor magazine.
The main focus of the Denmark Pavilion is the Little Mermaid. The first time I saw the Little Mermaid statue was during my visit to Denmark a few years ago. Sitting on a rock by the seashore at the downtown of Copenhagen, the little mermaid appeared to be smaller in size than I expected. During the period from May 1 to October 31, 2010, people are not able to see the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen because she has been moved to Shanghai for display in the Denmark Pavilion at Expo 2010.
