0 
Thursday marks the National Pavilion Day of Latvia at the Shanghai World Expo.
The Latvia Pavilion, located in Zone C of the Expo site, covers an area of around one thousand square meters, neighboring the pavilions of Denmark and Greece. So, what's in store for visitors? Let's find out together.
The architecture of Latvia Pavilion is inspired by the beauty of nature. Its facade, consisting of a number of colorful plastic plates, symbolizes mother nature and its various facets including forests, seas, lands, the sky, and winds.
The Latvia Pavilion celebrates the theme of "Innovation City of Science and Technology". And the venue is highlighted by its Wind Tunnel, where visitors are offered a chance to enjoy a free flight in a vertical wind tunnel. Here on the third floor of the pavilion, visitors will also be able to see others flying and enjoy the dynamic slide shows about the country of Latvia.
The three wind turbines are located on the roof of the pavilion. During evening hours, a professional team of flying acrobats are sent flying high above the Expo grounds. The seven Latvian tumblers say they enjoy their work very much, for it not only allows them to experience the feeling of being totally free, but also brings joys to themselves and those are willing to give it a try.
