If the previous World Expo is an opportunity for each country to bloom and dazzling, then there is no doubt that everyone's first glance will be focused on the overall design presentation and meaning of each venue in each district of the World Expo. Historically, the pavilions in the World Expo have their own characteristics, reflecting the connection between architecture and art, as well as the integration of architecture and nature. As a representative exhibit, the building itself is condensed and displayed with the help of the world stage of the World Expo, reflecting the rich local culture and artistic expression.
Cityneon Holdings provides the World Expo with an integrated turnkey project for the construction of the National Pavilion throughout the year: from preliminary research, creative design to construction construction, technical multimedia support to operation management during the exhibition, using the high-level capabilities that have been continuously improved and updated for many years to present in the best way. The construction projects of various national pavilions not only reflect the architectural aesthetic significance of the participating countries in terms of regionality, nationality and epochality, but also build a diplomatic stage for global exchanges and a bridge for friendship and cooperation among all countries.
