Inside, the pavilion is divided into pre-show, main-show and post-show areas. In the pre-show area, visitors will hear about urban transformation and the automobile's development over the past 20 years. They will look 20 years into the future with all the challenges and solutions envisioned by SAIC and GM. In the main-show area, visitors will sit in unique motion seats to view a movie projected on a 38-meter surround screen. They will see and feel the infinite possibilities that the motor vehicle will offer in the year 2030, and how it will bring people closer together. This will lead to an even bigger surprise at the end when all of the virtual vehicles come alive on stage. In the post-show area, visitors may take a closer look at the concept cars featured in the movie. The area will have eight sections: welcome corridor, traffic hub, satellite city, central business district, apartment life, window to the future, future outlook and souvenir sales.

On May 1, 2010, the World Exposition will open its gates on the newly created, almost six-square-kilometer Expo grounds in Shanghai, China. It will be the first time ever that a registered World Exposition is held in an emerging market. More than 200 countries and international organizations will welcome around 70 million visitors between May and the end of October. The Expo theme "Better City, Better Life" addresses today's global challenges and shows visionary solutions for a better future.

Expo visitors who wish to see the SAIC-GM Pavilion can reserve a timeslot either on site or in advance online via the official pavilion website www.our2030.com. Fast access will be available for visitors who booked online.
