Expo 2010 is held in Shanghai from May 1to October 31.People all over the world are looking forward
to it. Here are several golden rules on how to best plan your trip.
     Rule 1: Do your homework
     Read everything you can before going. Really study the maps. Know the pavilions. Arrive at the entrance
nearest to the things you want to see. Have a plan. It will make a big difference.
     Rule 2: Allow plenty of time
      Expo 2010 is the largest attraction event in the history of the world. It will take many days too see it.
Plan to spend from five to eight days of more seeing it.
     Rule 3: Pace yourself
     Expo is enormous.The distances are punishing. It is better to spend a day seeing a single area than to
run back and forth all over the site. Remember to wear the most comfortable shoes. Never mind what
they look like.
     Rule 4: Get going in May
      At many Expos the crowds are smaller in May and in early June than any other time. And beware the
last two weeks. During every Expo, people delay their visits and then in early October they suddenly
realize. "Expo will close soon! I haven't seen it!" As a result, the last several weeks usually have the most
crowed days of the entire Expo.
     Rule 5: Find out what everyone else is doing - and do the opposite. If you don't like large crowds and
long lines, do the opposite.
     Here is an example: Most people go on Saturdays or on holidays. So avoid Saturdays and holidays. Go
on weekdays when most people are at work.
     Rule 6: Turn up
     Expo 2010 is the largest celebration in China's history-am amazing once -in-a-lifetime event. When it is
gone and it will never be seen again. So whatever you do, don't miss it!
