China pavilion, the country's first self-built overseas Expo pavilion and also the second largest foreign one next to Germany's at Expo Milano 2015, opened to the public on Friday with a duration of six months in Milan.

Themed "Land of Hope, Food for Life," China Pavilion "will exhibit the country's agricultural history, food culture and its future expectation to the world," said Wang Jinzhen, commissioner general for the China Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015 and vice-chairman of of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) while hosting the opening ceremony.

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

The other two Chinese exhibitors at the Expo, namely the China Corporate United Pavilion and Vanke Pavilion, also opened on the same day.

The China Pavilion covers an area of 4,590 square meters. The China Corporate United Pavilion and Vanke Pavilion cover 1,200 square meters and 900 square meters, respectively, making China the country with the largest exhibition scale.

The Expo Milano is a new registered international exposition after the 2010 Shanghai Expo. A total of 148 countries and international organizations have confirmed their participation, with 55 self-built pavilions.
