Austria began construction of its pavilion yesterday afternoon.

The structure, also about 2,000 square meters in size, will take visitors on a journey through snow-capped mountains, forests, flowing rivers and urban landscapes. It will display Austria's natural scenery and landmark buildings such as Vienna City Hall under the theme "Feel the Harmony."

The pavilion will take a porcelain outer skin in red and white colors, which represent the colors of the Austria national flag. The red color also takes on Chinese meaning of the color of good luck.
