On the fourth day, back in Zone C, stop by Germany Pavilion before visiting Norway Pavilion. The pavilion is made of wood and bamboo with 15 model trees arranged in groups representing Norway's landscapes. Visitors can enjoy Norwegian food at the Fjord Restaurant in the main section.

On day 5, visit the US Pavilion, which has four sections including rooftop terraces with an urban vegetable garden modeled after Michelle Obama's garden at the White House. A 4-D film in the third section will make viewers feel as if they are actually in a real city. Russia Pavilion has 12 towers inspired by traditional Russian women's costume. The 20-meter towers, in white, red and gold, duplicate the ancient Ural towns dating back 3,000 years.

Devote your last two days to zones D and E. The 5,000-square-meter Shipping Pavilion was renovated from a welding workshop in a 140-year-old shipyard. Ship models, including one by the legendary Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) mariner Zheng He, are displayed on History Avenue to showcase the time-honored shipbuilding history of China. Vanke Pavilion uses wheat straw to build external walls for seven tube shaped halls that are connected by translucent membranes. It tries to enhance the public's attention to the future of urban life. Then make your way to the UBPA. First, stop by the Eco-House in Shanghai, then move on to Tak Seng On Pawnshop. The Macao display is a full-scale replica of the original pawnshop that was built in 1917. The largest pawnshop in Macao for the first half of the century, it was restored in 2001 and turned into a museum in 2003, for which it won a UNESCO award. Finish your tour at the Pavilion of Future, which uses state-of-the-art technology to showcase people's imagination of future life. The highlight of the pavilion is a cartoon shown in a 35-meter-tall hall.
