(转贴)Organizers of Shanghai's World Expo have been holding trial runs this week, before the official opening this Saturday, May 1st. About 70 percent of the nearly 200 participants participated in the trials, and visitors were already encountering long lines. Officials now estimate the 6-month event, themed "Better City, Better Life", will attract up to 100 million visitors, 95 percent of them Chinese. Shanghai has spent 400 billion yuan (58.6 billion US dollars) preparing for the Expo, according to state media - more than was spent on the Beijing Olympics. Collected here are photographs of last-minute preparations in Shanghai as they prepare to welcome the world this weekend.

回复: The City I love....刚看到，原来这个the city I love指的是上海，呵呵，作为上海宁，格记一定要来顶一顶。世博场馆建设时期和世博会期间，其实挺烦这件事的，不过现在回想起来，又觉得还是很有意思的一件事情，对于上海这个城市和身处其中的人来说，都是一次难得的经历。这会看看电脑里的一些世博会照片，突然觉得回忆还是很愉快的，那些烈日下的排队好像想起来也变得愉快了。真是好了伤疤忘了疼啊 呵呵。
