Taiwan Pavillion

The pavilion design is a transparent cube housing a giant ball in its center. It is mainly made of steel and glass, with the outlines of the island's Mount Morrison and Mount Ali painted on the facade. The main part of the pavilion was built with stone from Jade Mountain and soil from Yin-Ko Town. Taiwan will invite people to fly lanterns for good luck - a traditional island custom - and view its beautiful mountains and lakes at its pavilion. The pavilion showcases the island's scenery, its kind-hearted people and culture with the theme "Mountain, Water, Heart and Lantern."

There are two main highlights,which is 

1.   Movie about Taiwan's Culture and Scenery: The globe, 12 meters in 

diameter, houses a theater, where a four-minute movie about Taiwan's 

culture and scenery will be shown. The globe doubles as a screen to show 

the island's landscapes.

 2.   Lantern-flying Ceremony: The globe will be suspended over a pool of 

water, which will reflect the images shown on the globe. Visitors will be 

invited to take part in a multimedia lantern-flying ceremony on a platform 

above the pool. If 40 people make a ring on the platform, each of them will 

trigger a beam that will light the globe.
