This site respresents a proposal for San Francisco to host a
pavilion at Shanghai's Expo 2010, the next large world's fair.

This would not be unprecedented. Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan featured
a San Francisco Pavilion as an outgrowth of their sister city status.

San Francisco and Shanghai are also sister cities with a long
history of connectedness. It seems only natural that San Francisco
would have a presence at China's first world exposition.


San Francisco boasts the largest Chinatown outside Asia. It is the largest concentration of Chinese-Americans in the western United States.
Its history is rooted in that of California's itself as many Chinese made their way to San Francisco after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848.
