The six pavilions encourage kids and teenagers to know about water, learn knowledge on water by visiting them and collecting seal chops. The event will last for about two weeks.

The pavilions will hand out a total of 200 blank answer sheets to youngsters every day. Each pavilion will contribute two to three questions, and answers can be easily found in the pavilions. If the participants can fill in the right answers, they can get their sheets stamped with special seal for the event.

After collecting six stamps, youngsters can get gift packs from the pavilions. Swiss pavilion provides a travel cup while a special sticker is present from Osaka Pavilion. Chengdu Pavilion makes panda plush toy as their giveaway, and Hangzhou Pavilion's presents include a badge and 400-yuan (US$59) Hangzhou traveling coupons.
