Luxembourg Pavilion: Micro city surrounded by forest

Luxembourg, a country located in northwestern Europe covering an area of no more than 2,500 square kilometers, and with a GDP per capita ranking first in the world, makes its debut at the Shanghai 2010 World Expo with an independently created national pavilion for the first time in their history.

"Great Lung" from Europe makes people reluctant to leave

Indeed, the Luxembourg Pavilion is not big but for reasons unknown, I am fascinated by it every time I am there until I am urged by my friend to leave.

Rust red becomes deeper and deeper when you look at it every time. Under the blue sky without a cloud floating, it makes winter warm and soft. It is the weathering resistant steel specially transported from Luxembourg, the steel kingdom. The steel is cut to leave space for windows, which is made of glass. Against the deep red steel, the windows are an icy beauty. What strange feelings!

Thick and hot red walls contain high and unique castles with three layers of windows. According to the people of Luxembourg, trivial and small things can also be beautiful. Beauty here is demonstrated by green trees climbing onto the red walls, making the city a green lung for Europe.

A country of forest and castle make its appearance in the Orient

Luxembourg, a genius pocket-sized country has one third of its territory covered by forest.

The people of Luxembourg, who are participating in the Expo 2010 Shanghai, are giving an artistic rendition of small and beautiful on the stage, which is only half of that of big countries. The irregular shaped castle is no more than 20 meters high and after it is complete, there will be water running around it. Between the water and walls is a ring corridor with thick pergola and trees. According to Gu Ying, the Chinese designer for the Luxembourg Pavilion with the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tongji University, visitors in Luxembourg Pavilion can have a pleasant rest and step into nature in the forest on the top of pavilion.

Luxembourg boosts of quality steel and vast forests. All these are popularized by the wise people of Luxembourg when taken to the Expo pavilion.
