In the Banquet, Dr. Chih-kangWang, Chairman of Taipei World Trade Center, expressed his gratitude to the all circles of the society for supporting Taiwan Pavilion and said that Expo2010 Shanghai is the biggest and most successful Expo in the history.
Taiwan Pavilion Expo 2010 uses multi-layered multimedia performances to
convey the building’s core concept,“Mountain, Water, & Lantern of the
Heart.”In day and night two different appearances, visitors from around the
world marvel at the huge LED ball representing“The Heart of Taiwan”and its
lantern screen which projects a wide array of spectacular views of the island
that echo one another. The concrete LED ball is constantly encircled by moving
virtual images, including thousands of flying butterflies and a deep-sea
experience. Taiwan’s creativity, sustainability of nature and local arts are
among other stunning themes and visions that the Pavilion will share with the
world.
It is estimated that the total number of visitors to Taiwan Pavilion during the Expo2010 Shanghai reaches 700,000.
The Closing Ceremony of Taiwan Pavilion will be held at 22:30 on Oct.31,2010.
