Unlike other pavilions at the Shanghai Expo, there are no large buildings in the Mexican Pavilion, which will instead attract tourists with its unique appearance and bright colors.

In particular, the roof of Mexican Pavilion is a large, grassy plaza, above which 135 large kites will fly, making it a kite-flying plaza that is second to none.

The Mexican Pavilion, which has an area of 4,000 square meters, takes "a better life" as its theme. Eduardo Seldner, the commissioner general of the Mexican Pavilion, made a statement during the ground breaking ceremony that the pavilion would show the world Mexico's rich culture, its natural and urban landscapes, its warm and friendly people as well as its dreams for the future.
