Ask for a one-day tour guide for the Expo.

They're not talking about personal experience. I went for four days and saw only a small part. Except that I waited for two hours at the German Pavilion, the others didn't last more than half an hour. The following is my experience and understanding, which is rather chaotic. You will see:

Go to the queue early (after eight o'clock). You can choose a popular pavilion to see after entering the park. You don't usually line up. For example, enter from Gate 8 and go directly to Europe to see the German Pavilion. If you go to Asia first, go to the Saudi Arabia or Japan Pavilion first, not the Korea Pavilion. There are many titles, but they are not good. I think it's a white queue. It is even earlier to go to the Saudi pavilion. It's best to look at the map and walk from the nearest door, then take the bus in the park and fly to the entrance of the exhibition hall, otherwise the queue will soon be long. You don't have to consider the China Pavilion. If you want to see it, go out and line up at six in the morning. You can make an appointment to visit the China Pavilion at the entrance. The appointment time is uncertain, maybe in the evening, but it doesn't matter if you can go in and have a look.

If you enter the park late, when you say 9: 30, do you mean when you enter the park or when you have already entered the park? Because you have to queue up when you enter the park, it takes half an hour to queue up for security check when there are many people. Assuming that you don't go in until after ten o'clock, you basically don't consider museums that are too popular, and you won't line up one day.

I haven't walked past the gate 5 you mentioned, and I don't quite remember where it is. The Expo Park is mainly divided into Pudong and Puxi, almost all of which are enterprise pavilions. The national pavilions are all in the East District. From the west to the east, you can choose the ferry, free of charge, and there are guidelines in the park.

Then focus on the east. I guess one day you won't go to Xicheng either. When you enter the park, you can get a map of the World Expo. The upper part of the Expo map is the Western District, and the lower part is the Eastern District, separated by a river. Europe and America are on the left and Asia is on the right.

The most popular pavilions in Asia are China Pavilion, Saudi Pavilion, Japanese Pavilion, Korean Pavilion and UAE Pavilion. China and Taiwan Province provinces need to make an appointment, while others queue up to enter. I didn't go to the China Pavilion. I don't know, there are many novel things in the Japan Pavilion, such as robots that can play jasmine, and the Korean Pavilion will perform on the stage at the entrance of the pavilion when queuing, such as Korean songs and dances, gongs and drums and so on. The Saudi pavilion is to watch 360-degree 3D movies, and the time is not long. Everyone is scrambling to see it because this projection equipment cost more than one billion yuan and the effect is super good. Most of the exhibition halls display pictures or objects with local characteristics, and some exhibition halls in West Asia are simply fairs (markets) selling ornaments and the like. Some countries will send some small souvenirs, but I only took a bag from Bahrain. These gifts may not be available. Most of them may just send two commemorative books. There are basically no gifts introduced online. There are too many people, and they will always go bankrupt.

There are many pavilions in Europe and America (specifically, non-Asian pavilions). The most popular pavilions in Europe and America are Germany Pavilion, France Pavilion, Belgium-EU Pavilion, Spain Pavilion and Australia Pavilion. The German Pavilion is popular because it is very comprehensive, with excellent interaction from humanities to science and technology. There are seven paintings in the French Pavilion, such as Van Gogh's original works. Belgium has a lot of diamond jewelry and chocolates. It is said that chocolate will be distributed at the door, but unfortunately I didn't get it. We only have a small chocolate biscuit.

First of all, don't queue up for the best exhibition hall. First of all, don't go to the British Pavilion without activities, because without performances, you can only watch the seeds, which is very boring. The Dutch pavilion is for you to climb stairs, and the Danish pavilion is for you to see the model mermaid. If you don't line up, go and have a look. If you are in line, don't enter.

The exhibition areas in Iceland, Thailand and other countries mainly watch brief films. If the line is not long, you can go and have a look. Each screening lasts for ten minutes, so people are released one by one. Generally, the queue will not exceed 15 minutes.

In addition, most of the pavilions without queuing are joint pavilions, because there are many countries on display and the pavilions are relatively large, so there is basically no need to queue up. The Africa Pavilion is still worth seeing. You can see many countries and performances without waiting in line. Other pavilions include Caribbean Pavilion, Europe Pavilion 123 and Asia Pavilion 123.

Choose a larger museum with a good reputation from the beginning of entering the park, and then look at the nearby museums along the road, as long as the queue time is not long. For the concept of short queue, you'd better ask the person in charge of the nearby venue first, and ask him how long it takes to queue. His time can be slightly reduced, because every time I queue, I mean the estimated time. ) generally acceptable within half an hour. According to the time estimate, you can see a big museum and then you can see four or five small museums around you, and then you can go to eat. It is also recommended to eat nearby, for example, in the African pavilion, so don't go to the food center.

By the way, every meal is basically thirty or forty. Of course, there are more than twenty cheap ones, but depending on where you are, there are still fewer cheap ones. When eating, you can study the map and see where to go next. If you are far away, you can take a bus at the Expo site, which is free of charge.

Don't line up after lunch. Go to museums that don't have to queue up, such as the United Africa Pavilion. Generally, there are activities and performances at noon and afternoon. The tour route is also near the road, so don't go back and forth, it will delay the time.

It's best to prepare some dry food and snacks at noon, because you leave the garden early, after 7 o'clock, so I suggest you don't eat dinner, pad your stomach first, or have afternoon tea at 3 or 4 o'clock. When the number of people starts to decrease at 6 o'clock, you can visit some larger museums, such as Australia and Spain, and many of them don't have to wait in line. I saw the Spanish Pavilion that day, and our friends who played together waited in line for an hour at noon to see it. So if it is not a hard and fast rule, I suggest you leave the garden in the future.

There are activities in every square. Pay attention to the notices in the park and listen to the radio. When you are tired, sit near the square and have a rest while watching the program.

Besides, there is an appointment machine outside the venue, but I have never made an appointment successfully. So when you enter the park, see if you can make an appointment. The date may be in the evening, but it doesn't matter. There is usually an appointment, as long as it is basically the same day. Don't be surprised if you can't make an appointment. There are many people in China.

It is also recommended to bring empty bottles and sun hats. If you don't have a water cup, buy one in it. Don't lose the bottle after drinking it. There is a lot of direct drinking water in the garden.

Let's start with the Expo passport, which is used to stamp when entering the museum. If you have this hobby, you can buy a passport separately (this thing is not easy to buy, and almost all the franchisees in the park will write on the door that the passport has been sold out. If you are lucky, you can buy it). Expo shops in Shanghai also sell them, so if you see them when you go shopping, you'd better buy them outside, otherwise you may not be able to buy them in the park. I put a map on it. Colleagues buy passports, books, stamped books, stamped notebooks, and of course some don't, depending on their personal interests.

Finally, if it is possible to suggest buying a book with an introduction, I saw 25 books at the airport when I left Shanghai. I regret it. I should buy it before reading it, because many people are confused and don't know what to read. If you have an introduction, you will know what to wait in line for. Unlike me, I just feel that I have read a lot in four days and I don't know where it is.

That's all. Have fun!
