BEIJING, July 22 -- The Taipei World Trade Center has agreed to participate in the World Expo 2010.

According to an agreement signed with the Expo's organizing committee on Tuesday, the Taipei World Trade The center will build the Taiwan Pavilion in Shanghai.

The main structure of the pavilion will be a transparent "sky lantern", which houses an LED ball -- a theater.

The pavilion, featuring the theme of mountain, water, nature, soul and city, is designed to showcase Taiwan's beautiful scenery, as well as its achievements in science and technology, environmental protection, culture and arts.

SOUNDBITE: Li Zuyuan, architecture designer of the Taiwan Pavilion "Taiwan takes pride in its natural scenery such as mountains and waters, as well Taiwan people's aspiration of inheriting the Chinese culture, which has a history of thousands of years. Therefore we aim to show our combination of 'natural city' and 'soul life'. The reason why we select 'sky lantern' for the main structure is that releasing 'sky lanterns' in Taiwan is considered good luck, and Taiwan people believe they are symbolic of problems and worries floating away."
