Saudi Arabia Pavilion (4)
Saudi Arabia plans something a little different for its World Expo 2010 pavilion.
They will plant 150 date palms, which are common in the desert country, on the roof of their pavilion. The trees were transplanted to Zhejiang Province and will be replanted on the roof of Saudi Arabia Pavilion as soon as construction is finished. Construction of the pavilion is to be finished by Chinese New Year.
The pavilion is a combined effort of Chinese and Saudi designers. The pavilion has a "moon boat" shape and is surrounded by deserts and seas, just like Saudi Arabia.
The first floor of the pavilion is a garden with both Chinese and Saudi trees growing, a symbol of the friendship between the two nations.
The pavilion's main attraction will be a huge cinema screen. The 1,600 square-meter screen will be larger than any other cinema screen on earth.
