City planners will plant lacebark pines along the road leading to the China Pavilion at Expo Shanghai 2010. The lacebark pine, which grows between 15 to 25 meters and is native to northern and central regions of China, was favored by the country's ancient empires and would be one of the images of China, Expo planners said yesterday. The greenery at the Expo site will highlight integration, biological and cultural elements, and planners will include trees and plants that are at their best for the Expo period from May to October. China Aviation Industry Corporation I announced yesterday that it would build a joint corporate pavilion with China Aviation Industry Corporation II and China Eastern Airlines at Expo Shanghai.
