中国馆以东方之冠的建筑风格为理念．引用的，传统的中国木阁建筑－九宫格．整个设计蕴涵可以用１６个字来概括：＂东方之冠，中国至尊，世界之窗，人民小康＂．馆高６３米，瀑布式的层次感呈现出了现代雕塑艺术，展现出了中国馆的地标．各局部连接馆高１４米．水平方向延伸，形成了整个建筑的固垒，为城市公益活动构造了相应的空间．
The China Pavilion is designed with the concept of "the Crown of the East". The traditional Chinese wooden structure architecture element–Dougong brackets is introduced. The design concept can be summarized into 16 words, "the Crown of the East, the Crest of Chinese, the Barn for the World and Wealthy People". The height of China National Pavilion is 63 meters and the cascade levels shape urban sculpture to reflect the landmark of China Pavilion. The Regional Joint Pavilion is 14 meters high and extends the city texture horizontally to shape a solid base of the building and construct a space for public activities in the city.
