“Entering this pavilion is like entering another world. There is here the subdued, traditional beauty of the ancient China and the vigorous activity of the modern China. The visitor is introduced to the décor, the customs, the dress and the delights of both. There is ancient sculpture and new techniques of interior décor; the traditionally silicate use of plantings and color set side by side with samples of Taiwan – made industrial products and modern handcrafts. Striking use of contemporary graphics helps explain the China of today and the sources of its ancient traditions”. (HemisFair Guidebook, 1968)
