Artists from Alsace performed folk dances in front of the Alsace Pavilion in the Urban Best Practice Area at noon in celebration of its Pavilion Day, followed by an economic roundtable in the afternoon.

The roundtable gathered Alsace's entrepreneurs and their Chinese counterparts to discuss how to further tap business opportunities in China.

The prototype of the region’s case is the solar wall of Bouxwiller High School in Alsace, an example of using solar energy to keep interior temperatures at a comfortable level. The water-skin solar wall on the southern elevation, controlled by computer, can open and close automatically as the outdoor temperature and sunlight intensity change, shading the sunlight and reducing energy use.

There is a micro-brewery running on solar energy in the pavilion. Visitors can see the whole production process and taste the beer. They will also enjoy a "walk" at local vineyards, markets, buildings, eco-friendly communities and experience the application of water, nuclear, solar and geothermal energies.

Activities include an exhibition with the theme of dining art and cultural legacy in July, and a wine promotion in September.
