Qianjiang Expo Hubei Pavilion

　　The Qianjiang Expo Hubei Pavilion is a key cultural tourism project in our city. The theme of the Hubei Pavilion is "Connected Rivers and Lakes, Urban Park." Its exterior design is inspired by an ancient seal script character for "water," using the flowing shape and trajectory of water as the main design motif. The exterior incorporates distinctive symbols of Hubei—namely, the soaring Chu clouds and flying cranes. In 2013, our city invested over 50 million yuan to build new attractions inside the pavilion, including a 4D cinema, virtual tours, "Graceful Steps on Lotus," "Hearts Linked by Water," and "Exquisite Hubei," covering a total construction area of more than 2,000 square meters. The entire exhibition hall encapsulates the essence of a century of World Expo history, the monumental achievements of the Shanghai Expo, the picturesque beauty and vibrant potential of Hubei, as well as the unique cultural heritage of Qianjiang, making it another dazzling stage on the land of Jianghan.

The Expo Hubei Pavilion places great emphasis on science education and popularization. It takes full advantage of special occasions such as World Environment Day on June 5th, Science and Technology Week, and Science and Technology Festival to organize large-scale science outreach events. Carefully planned series of science activities have been curated, with the pavilion allocating over 100,000 yuan annually for science education efforts. It is staffed by 10 professional and amateur science communicators and 10 volunteers, attracting more than 200,000 visitors each year.

　　To further enhance the science education and outreach effectiveness of the Expo Hubei Pavilion and expand its social visibility, we hereby apply for its designation as a Hubei Provincial Science Education Base.
