\nNicknamed as the Purple Silkworm Island or \u2018zi can dao\u2019, the pavilion built for the Shanghai Expo 2010 will be the largest ever built by Japan for a world expo. This structure, purple in color and shaped like a silkworm (hence the nickname Purple Silkworm Island) covers a plot of 6,000 square meters and is about 24 meters high. It will be
\ndivided into three sections, the past, present and future exhibitions, and will showcase the relationship between China and Japan and other ideas that help man live peacefully and in harmony with the environment. Energy saving technologies will also be displayed with stage performances that speak about technologies that help save the environment. The exhibition center will make use of natural resources to power it up and for other energy requirements. The outer membrane of the pavilion is double layered and has photovoltaic cells to collect solar energy. Authorities haven\u2019t leaked out any of the plans and are keeping them a secret for the visitors! Let\u2019s hope that the Purple Silkworm will help us learn more about saving our environment.<\/p>\n
