OSAKA – The 2025 World Expo’s China Pavilion is drawing global attention with its awe-inspiring ‘Chinese Bamboo Book’ design, a modern architectural marvel rooted in 2,000-year-old cultural traditions. Spanning 3,500 square meters, the pavilion features lattice-like bamboo strips adorned with intricate engravings depicting China’s technological achievements and philosophical wisdom.
