A week-long exhibit of Macau's "rabbit lantern" Expo pavilion and Tak Seng On Pawnshop, its Urban Best Practice Area showcase, drew big crowds at the Expo Exhibition Center in downtown Shanghai.
More than 15,000 visitors, including 52 groups, have toured the center on Huaihai Road since the promotion campaign started on February 9. The exhibit featured photos and models of the special administrative region's pavilions.

Many people expressed best wishes for the Macau Pavilion as well as Expo 2010. A visitor who declined to be named said he was impressed by the exhibit, as the idea of a "rabbit lantern" mixes traditional Chinese culture with creativity.
It conveys Chinese culture and, at the same time, lets people see the unique charm of Macau, he added.
The "rabbit lantern" pavilion will present a mythological world via multi-media technology. In Chinese mythology, the jade rabbit is a guide to Nantianmen, the door leading to a fairyland. The administrative region will also rebuild its Tak Seng On Pawnshop, Macau's largest pawnshop in the first half of the 20th century, in the UBPA sector.
About 1,300 visitors answered questions regarding the exhibit. Fifty people won prizes.
