The model was made from leftover building materials using during the construction of the 皇冠体育app Pavilion, so it is very meaningful and shows the efforts made to conserve resources, said Qian Zhiguang, deputy curator of the 皇冠体育app Pavilion.

The total number of visitors to the 皇冠体育app Pavilion is expected to hit 9.15 million on Oct 31 when the Shanghai World Expo closes.
