Head to China for 2010 and take in the spectacular World Expoi in Shanghai

If you’ve always wanted to visit China, then next year is the year for you to do it as you will be able to also take in what will be a spectacular international event. The World Expo 2010 in Shanghai is estimated to attract over 70 million worldwide visitors, and China specialist Wendy Wu Tours is the only UK tour operator offering special packages to the exhibition.

Being held from 1 May to 31 October 2010, World Expo 2010 will cover a total area of 5.28 square km where the over 200 participating countries will showcase their ideas on the theme ‘Better City, Better Life’ in outstanding national pavilions (more event info at http://en.expo2010.cn).

Manuel Mascarenhas, managing director of Wendy Wu Tours says, “Once again, the windows of the world will be on China and the sheer spectacle of this international cultural event will be a real draw to UK visitors, especially as an add-on to a more traditional itinerary to the country, as the site will incorporate many features never before experienced on such a huge scale. For example, the UK pavilion will be a huge building covered in multi-coloured fibre-optics.”
