The World Expo has entertained millions so far. Beyond entertainment, however, it also gives participating countries a great opportunity to showcase their particular expertise, such as Germany.
The Germans followed this doctrine well, presenting their nation as a leader in innovation, technology and, most notably, a great place to visit.
What the solid Germany Pavilion presents is "Balancity", a city in balance, overflowing with ideas that can have a positive impact on urban development in the future.
At the request of a number of aspiring readers, this journalist is in an attempt to bring all of online publication's favorable features into play by adding as many on-site photos as possible and even audio or video to the report, so that readers may experience the splendor of the Expo in a panoramic fashion.

One of the outstanding features of the Germany Pavilion is its silver shell. It is made of a special membrane that can reduce solar radiation. [CRIENGLISH.com Photo/Zhenyu Li]
