The building is located near the center of the China Zone. Standing over seven meters high, the white structure comes in the shape of two connected Mobius strips. The construction materials are all low-carbon and eco-friendly. Its designers drew inspiration from the traditional Chinese philosophical idea of yin and yang. The pavilion will go into trial operation in the middle of April.
