The Third Day of the Expo 2010 - What to bring in

Queuing for a pavilion admission

It's the third day since the opening of the Shanghai World Expo to the public. The weather of Shanghai is hot with temperature around 29 degrees Celsius for most of the time today. It will be a good idea to bring along with a pair of sun glasses, an umbrella, or a cap. For security reasons, visitors are not allowed to bring along with any liquids into the Expo site. A small tube of sun protection cream is allowed. Do remember to bring along with a folded-type umbrella because the unfolded type is not allowed to go into the site. A walking stick with attached small seat or a small folded stool is fine. Please check the guidelines from the Expo official website http://www.expo2010.cn/for update information. 
The Expo Park opens at 09:00am and closes at 12:00 midnight. Most pavilions close at 10:30pm. For some popular pavilions, visitors are required to hold a reservation ticket for the access. Others allow direct access, but people may need to line up for hours for the entry. For certain pavilions, reservation tickets can be obtained from dispenser machines. The China Pavilion is the top attraction to many visitors, and reservation tickets are delivered by a staff member. Thousands of people flocked to the China Pavilion, but tickets were gone quickly from the reservation spots during these three days. Today is the last day of the Labor Day Holiday (May 1-3, 2010) in China. Let's see whether overcrowds will continue tomorrow.
