 The structure of the Hong Kong Pavilion at the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai China was completed on October 12 - the eve of the 200-day countdown to the mega event.
Chief Secretary for Administration Henry Tang and Shanghai Executive Vice Mayor Yang Xiong marked the occasion with a tree-planting ceremony at the site.
Mr Tang noted the timely completion of the pavilion structure marked a major milestone in Hong Kong's preparation for the expo, adding that the installation of interior fittings and exhibits were schedule to be completed by the end of March, in time for a trial run.
"We attach great importance to this invaluable opportunity to showcase the unique positioning of Hong Kong as Asia's world city," Mr Tang said.
The pavilion has three exhibition levels highlighting a different aspect of Hong Kong's connectivity and creativity, conveyed by a sleek and contemporary look.
The top level showcases the city's rich natural heritage and the way in which the compact urban cityscape co-exists sustainably with extensive swathes of greenbelt, wetland and woodland areas covering almost 70% of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong will also take part in the Expo Shanghai Online project and organise a Hong Kong Week in October 2010.
