China Pavilion at Expo 2025 hosts media day event

One of the highlights of the exhibition at the China Pavilion will be samples brought back from the moon by the Chang'e 6 lunar probe.

"This will be the most precious exhibit the China Pavilion presents to global visitors during Expo 2025. It will also be the world's first side-by-side, close-up display of samples from both the near and far sides of the moon," Li said.

She emphasized that visitors will have the opportunity to observe the distinct structures of the lunar samples and the subtle differences between both sides of the Moon through a specially designed lens installation. Nearby, a video message from three Chinese astronauts aboard the space station will offer their greetings to guests of the China Pavilion.

According to Liu Shuo, deputy director of the China Pavilion, the pavilion's architecture is inspired by traditional bamboo slips, and incorporates cultural elements such as bamboo and Chinese characters.
