Tourist destination: Hangzhou time: June 5438+February 2007 Traveler: Xiao D For me, a native of Hangzhou, visiting the West Lake Expo Museum at No.40 Beishan Road is also an excellent history lesson. 1929 It has been a century since the first West Lake Expo was held on June 6th. The largest and most influential exposition in China's modern history lasted 137 days, with celebrities and 20 million visitors, which caused a sensation in the whole country and had considerable influence internationally. It can be said that Hangzhou has thus become the birthplace of China's convention and exhibition industry.

The second West Lake Expo, which opened on October 20th, 2000/KLOC-0, was 70 years apart from the last one. On June 5438+February/KLOC-0, 2003, the former site of the West Lake Expo Museum was officially opened to the public all the year round, and on June 5438+0929, it was the West Lake Expo Industrial Museum. 1928 started construction, 1929 the new venue will hold the West Lake Expo. The main building faces south, with a courtyard in the middle and a zigzag plane, which is called the entrance hall. Its architectural style was a very popular exhibition hall style in the world at that time. It is the earliest exhibition hall building in Zhejiang and even the whole country, with iron brazing as the interface and wooden beams supporting the whole building. According to reports, the main building of the Industrial Pavilion was built into a large factory, so that visitors can feel that they are in a huge factory as soon as they enter, and they can check all kinds of mechanical configurations. This venue has also become the only survivor in the new building of the first West Expo. At present, the supporting buildings of the West Expo Museum include Baoqing Villa and Yu Xiu Temple.

The West Expo, which has entered its ninth year, has increasingly become a major event for Hangzhou citizens. The beautiful fireworks on the surface of the West Lake surprise me every year. I clearly remember the International Fireworks Festival in my freshman year. A dormitory brother came to the West Lake to watch fireworks, saying that it was lively only when there were more people, and it was lively only when there were more people. In fact, listen carefully to the exclamations of people around you. All corners of the country have accents. At that time, I really felt a little lost in the north!
