Scheduled to run April 25, 2014, to Oct 25, 2014, the expo will be the most magnificent international event to take place in the city since the 2008 Olympic sailing games.
So far, major building constructions and greening projects have been completed, and the expo will begin trial operations in October. The six-month event is expected to attract tens of millions of visitors.
