More than Two Million Visitors at the Mexico Pavilion, and Counting

Li Xiangwen, a Chinese retired professor, is proof that Mexico’s participation in the Shanghai 2010 Expo has been a success. Professor Li was the two millionth visitor to the “Kite Forest.” Since May 1^st, when the expo and our pavilion opened their doors, more than 17,000 people have visited the pavilion every day to appreciate Mexican culture, art and warmth.

The staff of the Mexico Pavilion gathered at the entrance, next to a replica of the Bell of Dolores—which tolled louder than ever—, to receive Li Xiangwen, who was pleasantly surprised with such a warm welcome.

Ana García, director of the Mexico Pavilion, felt honored by this achievement, since just 100 days after the inauguration of the expo we have exceeded the number of visitors initially expected.

This significant celebration ended with a delicious meeting in ProMéxico’s Business Center, where our honored visitor enjoyed Mexican snacks cooked at the pavilion’s restaurant.

The expo will continue until October 31, and we are certain that the Mexico Pavilion will experience more achievements, giving Mexicans many reasons to feel proud of our performance in Shanghai.
