A light show and a gala party were staged on Monday to mark the National Day of China Pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai site in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Under the banner of "build a community with a shared future for mankind -- innovation & opportunity," the China Pavilion gives center stage to the country's latest achievements in such fields as space exploration, information technology, and artificial intelligence, offering a futuristic vision for the better life of human beings.

Named "light of China," the China pavilion is shaped like a traditional Chinese lantern and is one of the largest at Expo 2020 Dubai at 4,636 sqm. The pavilion symbolises hope and a bright future, and is designed in line with the principle of the 'combination of the Chinese and Western culture with Chinese culture as the core'.

As one of the most distinctive and popular pavilions, the China Pavilion has received more than 800,000 visitors from all over the world since its opening to the public on Oct. 1, 2021.
