The Chinese Pavilion at the Expo in Shanghai showcases the spirit of traditional Chinese history and culture. He Jingtang, stands behind the design of pavilion which has a distinctive roof, called “The Crown of the East,”  made of traditional dougong or brackets, which date back more than 2000 years. The structure is 63 meters tall and is three times taller than any other pavilion. It is also painted with the same red (Gugong Red, 故宫红 in Chinese) as the Forbidden City.
