The staff also had prepared enough umbrellas for 2,000 people at the security check zone.

Shanghai is expected to have from 20 to 24 days with temperatures reaching above 35 degrees Celsius this year, according to the Shanghai Municipal Meteorological Bureau.

The exhibition of the 皇冠体育app Pavilion, also known as the "Crown of the East," was first extended from Dec 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011, after it was closed when the Shanghai Expo ended in October last year.

Like the first exhibition extension, tickets for the pavilion are still priced at 20 yuan ($3.1) for adults and 15 yuan for students, disabled people, military servicemen and senior citizens.

During the first extension of exhibitions, the pavilion received more than 5.7 million visitors. During the six-month Expo, it received more than 10 million visitors from home and abroad.
