| Reservation spot at Zone E Puxi |
There are in total 13 entrances/ exits for the Expo site. Many people are making searches for the optimal choice of the entrance to the Expo site. That entirely depends on the zone area where you would like to pay a visit to. As the Expo site is extremely large, it is not possible for you to tour all 5 zones in a day's visit. More than 70% of the site area is in Pudong where most people are interested in. Fewer visitors are found in Puxi because there are fewer attractions.
The China Pavilion remains to be the most popular visiting point in Expo 2010. Gate 5 (Gaoke Road West) is comparatively close to the China Pavilion. It is also not too far a distance if you walk along the Expo Boulevard from Gate 6 (Shangnan Road) to the China Pavilion. Many visitors rushed to the China Pavilion from Gate 5 in the very early morning with an eager for the visit. However, they couldn't achieve the visit without a reservation ticket. Therefore, it is wise to reach the reservation spot to obtain a ticket first. There is not any reservation machine at the China Pavilion. All reservation spots are far away from the China Pavilion. I am not quite sure about the reservation spots in the Pudong section. But I know that there is a reservation spot at Zone E of Puxi. This is close to Gate 3 (Bansongyuan Road), but Gate 3 is not directly connected to any metro line. If you go by subway, you may consider going through Gate 1 at Zone D and take a free shuttle bus to reach the reservation spot in Zone E. Puxi is less crowded with people.
Since the opening of the Expo, the greatest number of admissions has been from Gate 8 (Houtan Gate) at Zone C. This is the zone where the American, European, and African Pavilions are sited. This area is always crowded with people. There are 3 shuttle bus routes staring from Gate 8 to reach various pavilions. The Shibo Avenue bus route is the best choice if you would like to go to the UK, France, Switzerland, and Spain Pavilions. It is also not too far away to walk from Gate 8 to the USA Pavilion. Based on the official statistics, Gate 8 received 80,000 visitors on June 13, 2010. On the same day, Gate 7 (Changquing Road) received 65,000 visitors. The other 3 gates at Pudong are also crowded.
Instead of waiting long at the gates in the Pudong Section, you may consider entering the Expo site from Gate 1 at Puxi and take the subway Metro Line 13 (Lupu Bridge) to Pudong. After getting out from the Shibo Avenue Metro Station, you can make an easy access to the Australia, Finland, or Denmark Pavilion. It may be more fast than you enter from the gates at the Pudong section.
