Main Thread and Core Ideas The exhibitions at China Pavilion are designed around the theme of "Future Energy and Green Silk Road". With regard to contents, they display the past, present and future and connect them as the main thread. Easy to understand and up to international standards, they offer a full picture about China's new ideas and progresses in the transition of the traditional energy industry, development of new energy, green and eco-friendly operation, and sustainable development as well as its practical partnerships in energy, economy and trade with countries along the "Belt and Road" like Kazakhstan and even other countries all over the world. To underscore the display priorities and highlights, With the "Man-made Sun" nuclear fusion multimedia apparatus as the core exhibit, China Pavilion will fully present what China has scored in developing energy.

Layout of Exhibition Areas China Pavilion is composed of the following five exhibition areas: Preface Hall, Corridor of Energy, A Day of Smart Energy Experience, Dream Theater of Future Energy, and Global Missions and Partners. 

Preface Hall  It provides the introduction to the entire pavilion. A video clip about the China Pavilion will be played there. What exhibited in the Preface Hall is the great vision of the Chinese government on strategic cooperation in energy. This is the speech delivered by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Conference on Climate Change in 2015, and President Xi mentioned China's strategic policy of energy development. The video slip "Road Trip", a video recording President Xi's proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative.

 

Corridor of Energy  This exhibition area stands for the past, showcasing the typical achievements China has made in energy development. Major exhibits are about waterwheels that came down from Song Dynasty, voyages of Zheng He down the Western Ocean, Kailuan Coal Mine, Daqing Oil Filed, and Daya Bay New Clear Plant. These contents are displayed via physical miniatures and digital media.

 

A Day of Smart Energy Experience  This exhibition area functions as an epitome of the present. Set against four energy-consuming scenarios—household, means of transportation, countryside and city, it enables visitors to experience how wind, solar, nuclear and hydraulic energy are generated at zero distance. Full-immersed interactions, physical miniatures, movie and image-based interactions, physical apparatus, sand table models, and VR devices are used to provide visitors with insight into the relations between new energy and human life, just implied as its name—a day of smart energy experience.

 

Dream Theater of Future Energy  The theater comes as the most shining name card of China Pavilion. It represents the future. Used to play the themed video clip of the pavilion, it can hold 90 persons at most. The 3D video is presented on a double curved screen which makes a 180 degree turn. The clip is embodied with such elements as "the Belt and Road" initiative and dream of future energy, to stress the importance of the energy transition and the "Man-made Sun" nuclear fusion multi-media apparatus. It tells the story about how the protagonists run after the light in search of new energy to give back to nature. Vivid and interesting, the fictional video shows human's vision for future energy, reflects China's exploration and practice in this regard, and reveals the Chinese people's confidence in overcoming technical challenges confronting energy development and promoting partnership along the silk road.

 

Global Missions and Partners  This exhibition area is intended to stage what China has achieved in energy technology along with other countries, especially those in Central Asia. With the "Manmade Sun" nuclear fusion multi-media apparatus as the core exhibit, it also mainly displays the ultra-high voltage transmission technology developed by State Grid Corporation of China (State Grid), the "Hualong One" of China National Nuclear Corporation(CNNC) and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), the world's first 100MW ultra-supercritical double reheat coal-fired power generating unit built by China Guodian Corporation, the carbon capture and storage for enhanced oil recovery (CCS-EOR) technology owned by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), the ultra-low-emission technical model of Zhejiang Provincial Energy Group Co., Ltd., as well as the sludge-into-fuel system and the AO dry desulfurization and denitrification system belonging to CEFC China Energy Company Limited (CEFC).
