Architect He Jingtang's latest design -- the China Pavilion -- is attracting attention from all over the world. During an exclusive on-site interview with the master builder, our reporter, Han Bin, comes face to face with the tower's hidden secrets in this Expo Update.

Queuing up for an early look at the China Pavilion.

This 63 meter high crown impresses visitors, even at first glance.

Breitfeld Joachin, German Visitor, said, "First of all the clear lines, and the color ..."

Felipe Buitrago, Colombian Visitor, said, "It looks ancient, it looks modern, and looks very high design."

He Jingtang is excited to see his latest work formally open. The 72-year old architect still remembers the arduous brainstorming sessions he went through.

He Jingtang, Chief Designer of China Pavilion, said, "It's difficult to present China with one shape. We finally found “dougong” or ancient corbel bracket. The inverted shape of the pavilion symbolizes the spirit of China's people against the background of a rising nation."

The pavilion puts green concepts into action. Its inner halls reflect the traditional Chinese philosophy of "Humanity In Harmony With Nature." Consisting of three sections -- The Footprint, The Dialogue, and The Actions -- the China Pavilion's displays take visitors on a journey to discover the nation's ideas on the evolution of cities.

The exhibition also focuses on the low carbon lifestyle that could shape the future development of Chinese cities. It prominently displays the country's proposed solutions to global challenges.

But the biggest highlight might be the projected painting called "Along The River During The Qingming Festival." It was painted during the Song Dynasty, some 700 years ago.

The veteran architect is proud his construction is holding such an exhibition.

He Jingtang, Chief Designer of China Pavilion, said, "Our ancestors have the concept of `Better City, Better Life.` The high tech theme is used to re-play the original motif. It's very striking."

He Jingtang believes classical wisdom is embodied in China's urban development. He says a better city should have both a quality environment and modern facilities. The China Pavilion is providing one answer to that call.

"To some extent, the World Expo is a dynamic showcase of global architecture. The China Pavilion, which represents the best art and technology from the nation's modern architects, has been given a historic meaning as well. Even after the close of this half-year event, the Crown East will remain in place as a permanent landmark, and the site will always remind people of the 2010 World Expo. Han Bin, CCTV, Shanghai."
