Special instructions:

The longest time to visit the Expo Park at night is only five and a half hours, so try to do your homework in advance and visit the pavilions that you have locked in your heart.

First stop: Expo Cultural Center (Zone B)

There are big performances here every night. There are two live performances every day from Monday to Friday, which are hosted by China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. There are "heavyweight" programs such as world superstar concerts on weekends. Different from the square of other venues with one axis and four pavilions, the shape of the Expo Cultural Center is dish-shaped, and the lighting design at night highlights the characteristics of this building, which is more agile, light and transparent.

Go in through the two entrances and exits southwest of the cultural center, and don't forget to look around. Because there is a huge digital media art screen here, on these two creative walls made of LED technology, visitors will see a large photoelectric art screen with gradually changing visual impact, one is a pattern of roses in full bloom, and the other is a splash-ink pattern representing China traditional art.

Second stop: Baosteel Grand Stage, Norway Pavilion and Poland Pavilion (Zone C)

The theme show "Window of the City" of the Shanghai World Expo is expected to become a "bright spot" for tourists to visit the park at night. The audience will see a story full of love, harmony and touching in just 30 minutes. The performance adopts the most advanced stage large-scale spectacle design, using high-tech multimedia images and superb aerial stunts. It is a colorful and varied audio-visual story drama. In front of the Norwegian Pavilion, the dazzling lights like the Northern Lights are accompanied by fantastic Nordic music, which is ever-changing; The "Young People's Special Session" in Poland Pavilion after 22 o'clock was a crazy party, which released the fatigue, pressure and depression of the day.

Special reminder:

The operating hours of most public transport will be extended in due course. The traffic operation of the whole rail network ends at no earlier than 22: 30, and the operation time of five direct lines is no earlier than 24: 00. The operation time of bus lines around Watergate will also be appropriately extended. In addition, according to the passenger flow, the operation time of the Expo special line will also be extended in due course. Although the Expo advocates bus priority and intensive travel, tourists are not encouraged to take taxis to the park. In order to meet the car demand of residents, enterprises and Expo exhibitors in the controlled area, Shanghai will set up a fleet of 4,000 special taxis for the Expo and implement unified dispatching. In order to facilitate tourists to leave the park, the 2 1 back control area is open to all taxis.

Third stop: urban best practice area

The Rhone-Alpes region of France specially designed a creative celebration "lighting" show, and the small "fireflies" projected by the lights danced lightly in the park with the rhythm of music; On the fa? ades of some exhibition halls, the green aquatic plants on the seabed can "grow" and sway gently ... giving off colorful light.

Fourth stop: Enterprise Pavilion

The Petroleum Pavilion, jointly built by China Petroleum, China Petrochemical and China CNOOC, is located in Puxi Park of Shanghai World Expo Park and is now called "Oil Cube". During the day, it is an "oil cube" woven by light blue "oil and gas pipelines" At night, it will be transformed into a crystal clear and colorful dream "oil cube".

Special instructions:

How to reduce the queue and make an appointment to visit your favorite exhibition hall in advance

What is certain is that no matter which venue visitors want to visit, they will face a queue. So for tourists, the most effective way to reduce the queue time is to make an appointment to visit.

There are two kinds of services for visiting the Expo Park: group booking and individual booking, while individual booking is divided into comprehensive booking and single-pavilion booking, in which comprehensive booking is mainly aimed at China Pavilion and Theme Pavilion. There will be 22 comprehensive reservation points in the Expo Park, and 184 comprehensive reservation machines will serve tourists and volunteers at the reservation machines. As long as tourists carry valid certificates and tickets, the principle of using the single-library reservation machine is the same as that of the bank's number reader, and the operation can be completed with one button. The reservation opportunity prints a reservation voucher for the audience, which will print the time they can visit, and the designated time is usually one hour.

This year's World Expo will be dedicated to selling tickets for evening performances, which sends a strong signal to tourists that evening performances are very interesting.

At present, citizens are carefully formulating the "Raiders" of the Expo Park. Many people have lamented that there are so many things to see in the Expo Park that they can't swim for a day. "If you want to go to the park several times, you must take a day off to go to the park at night." In the eyes of Professor Hao Luoxi from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, who is in charge of the overall planning and design of the night lighting of the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo, the Expo Park looks like a "double-faced beauty"-a park in the daytime, solemn and elegant; The park is very bright at night.

In the prime location of "one axis and four pavilions", the Expo Cultural Center is the most "interesting"

As the core area of the Expo site, "One Axis and Four Pavilions" includes the Expo Axis, China Pavilion, Expo Center, Theme Pavilion and Expo Cultural Center, and is also the key object of night lighting design. Among them, the Expo Cultural Center is one of the best attractions in this prime location. "Different from other venues with one axis and four pavilions, the shape of the Expo Cultural Center is dish-shaped, and the lighting design at night highlights the characteristics of this building, making it more agile, light and transparent."

During the World Expo, there will be large-scale cultural performances in the Cultural Center every night, and various "heavyweight" programs will appear in turn on weekends. These days, Professor Hao Luoxi has to work at two entrances and exits in the southwest of the Cultural Center almost every day, because there are her carefully designed masterpieces-huge digital media art screens.

"Don't forget to look around when you go in." Hao Luoxi said that the wall of the art screen at the south entrance of the Cultural Center is about 3.6m×24m, and the screen at the north entrance is 4m×32m. On these two creative walls made of LED technology, visitors will see a large-scale photoelectric art screen with gradual change and visual impact.

One set is a pattern of roses in full bloom, and the other set is a splash-ink pattern representing the traditional art of China. Hao Luoxi said that the design inspiration and production of these wall installations were designed and produced by a team of more than 20 undergraduates from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning. In her view, one of the greatest benefits of the World Expo is that it provides a big platform for creative display, and applies the teaching and research results of classrooms and laboratories to life practice, bringing more surprises to people's lives.

In an interview with reporters, Hao Luoxi also revealed that although the led wall is visually beautiful, the raw materials used for production are very ordinary. "The building materials on the wall are common materials used by every household." Despite repeated entreaties from reporters, Hao Luoxi insisted on not revealing the secret in advance. "You can observe carefully when visiting the park, and the answer will be announced during China International Import Expo(CIIE)."

In the "one axis and four pavilions", LED technology is widely used to replace traditional lighting tools, which greatly reduces the lighting energy consumption, breaks through the lighting limitations of traditional light sources and brings a visual feast. China Pavilion displays the visual effect of "China Red" at night, which is more artistic and appealing. The theme pavilion and Expo Axis will also stage colorful light shows, which will attract people's attention.

High-tech comprehensive application park "evening makeup" has distinct layers.

In fact, as early as 2008, when Hao Luoxi took over the night lighting planning of the Expo site, he formulated the overall design concept-the night Expo presented to the world must be efficient and energy-saving, and at the same time show the characteristics of Shanghai landscape art lighting.

This female designer, who once set the main tone for the night scene of West Lake in Hangzhou, put on a layered "evening makeup" for the Expo Park this time-the park is divided into five levels according to the brightness * * *, among which, the venues of landmark buildings such as the Expo Axis and the central venue of the celebration square, as well as the crowded areas such as the entrance and exit of the park and the rail station are the brightest first-class lighting areas; Comprehensive square, movable green space and elevated walkway are secondary lighting areas; The urban best practice area is a three-level lighting area, and the brightness settings of parking lots, main roads outside the Expo Park and branch roads inside the Park are low. Because it is close to the peripheral area of residential areas, if colored dynamic light is used, it will not only affect the normal rest of residents at night, but also cause light pollution. In different areas, set different brightness and use different types of lamps to achieve the ideal effect of "light and shade are always appropriate" in the light and shadow world.

According to reports, the night lighting planning of the Expo site mainly presents five characteristics: in terms of strategy, it is to make the Expo site an efficient and energy-saving urban lighting demonstration; In terms of culture, the ecological protection lighting mode of historical sites in the Expo site is formed; On the technical level, the Expo will be the first large-scale integrated application of semiconductor lighting technology; On the humanistic level, enjoy the creative life brought by lighting technology through the interactive experience between lighting art and people; In terms of industry, promote the maximum application of "Made in China" products.

A large number of high-tech lighting technologies are integrated in the Expo Park. The close combination of renewable energy represented by solar photovoltaic power generation and wind-solar complementary technology and high technology is an important means to realize green lighting in the park. In addition, various new materials, such as acrylic acid and glass, transparent concrete technology and special vinyl film, can change optical properties and are widely used in the lighting of the Expo Park.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Hao Luoxi also pays special attention to the design principles of sustainable development. "The night lighting of the Expo can not only meet the needs of night tours during the Expo, but also meet the long-term needs of citizens after the exhibition."

Visit the "must see" attractions in the Expo Park at night.

As the "visual director" of the night scene of the park, Hao Luoxi also recommended some "must-see" attractions other than "one axis and four pavilions" for visitors who will visit the Expo Park at night.

I. Foreign National Pavilion

British Pavilion: There are more than 60,000 tentacles extending in all directions outside the building, and each tentacle contains an LED to help the tentacle form a changeable luster and color, creating a bright and charming light and shadow feast at night.

Italy Pavilion: The design was inspired by the game stick, and a new type of transparent cement called "transparent concrete" was used in the building. Natural light will shine in during the day, reducing the demand for venue lighting; At night, the lights in the museum can reflect the tourists pouring into the venue through the outside of the venue.

France Pavilion: The whole building is a floating form off the ground and is "wrapped" by a barbed wire made of a new concrete material. After adopting LED technology, it fully shows the elegance and romance of French culture.

Other recommendations: Poland Pavilion, Denmark Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, Norway Pavilion, Spain Pavilion and Sweden Pavilion.

Second, urban best practice area.

The large-scale light show in Lyon, France, which is located in the urban best practice area, is well worth seeing. Lighting artists from France have created interesting animal and plant patterns on the facades of various buildings, such as fireflies flying in the air, ladybugs walking on green leaves and tulip petals shining with crystal luster. ...

The project named "City of Light" contains four kinds of lighting, namely, the urban functional lighting used in the main passage, the architectural lighting of the facade and square membrane structure of the exhibition hall, the festival lighting used in the night light show of the World Expo, and the lighting of the chimney of the future pavilion.

Three. Enterprise pavilion

The Petroleum Pavilion, jointly built by China Petroleum, China Petrochemical and China CNOOC, is located in Puxi Park of Shanghai World Expo Park and is now called "Oil Cube". During the day, it is an "oil cube" woven by light blue "oil and gas pipelines" At night, it will be transformed into a crystal clear and colorful dream "oil cube".
