Malaysian Actress Michelle Yeoh visits the Taiwan Pavilion yesterday.
Malaysian Actress Michelle Yeoh visited the Taiwan Pavilion yesterday afternoon, where she was greeted by Chih Kang Wang, chairman of the Taipei World Trade Center which builds the pavilion.
Yeoh was in Shanghai to promote the film "Reign of Assassins" which she starred and is being shown at the on-going 13th Shanghai International Film Festival. She received lantern pins as gifts from the pavilion.
Yeoh set off a lantern for blessing at the pavilion and expressed her best wishes for the Expo.
The pavilion design is a transparent cube housing a giant ball in its centre. It is mainly made of steel and glass, the skylines of the island's Mount Morrison and Mount Ali painted on the facade. The main part of the pavilion was built with stone from Jade Mountain and soil from Yin-Ko Town.
Taiwan invites visitors to set off lanterns for blessing - a Taiwan island custom - and view its beautiful mountains and lakes at its pavilion. The pavilion showcases the island's scenery, its kind-hearted people and culture under the theme "Mountain, Water, Heart and Lantern."
