the facade of this 1,000-square-meter pavilion is made of 80, 000 bamboos with a majority of this resource coming from china. its height measures at 12 meters while its exterior appearance is reminiscent of a warehouse. here vietnamese culture is highlighted as visitors learn about the country’s history and culture as well as its progress in eco-protection and urban development. after the expo, the bamboo will be recycled and reused for social welfare facilities and rebuilding schools.
