The China pavilion has opened to the public at the world expo, with a duration of six months in Milan, Italy.

It's China's first self-built overseas Expo pavilion and also the second largest foreign one after Germany's at Expo Milano 2015.

Themed "Land of Hope, Food for Life", the pavilion will exhibit China's agricultural history, food culture and its future expectations for the world.

Outside the rippling-wheat-shaped building of the China Pavilion, Chinese and Italian guests attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony over the weekend. The guests then visited the pavilion, passing the "Field of Hope", which consists of some 20,000 shining artificial straws of wheat.

The other two Chinese exhibitors at the Expo are the China Corporate United Pavilion and Vanke Pavilion.

The China Pavilion covers an area of 4,600 square meters. When combined with the three pavilions make China number one in exhibition scale.

Expo Milano is a new registered international exposition after the 2010 Shanghai Expo. Around 150 countries and international organizations have confirmed their participation.
