The entire site of EXPO 2012 Yeosu is designed to form a model city displaying

the low-carbon lifestyle of the future. All preparations and events will leave a limited carbon footprint, and the Energy Park will become the test-bed for renewable energy. The entire Expo site will be constructed with environmentally-friendly methods and recycled materials to produce the least amount of waste possible.

Floating ocean forest and a mini-sized environment-friendly fish farm are on display around the expo site while visitors can drink water produced by desalination facilities at the “Sky Tower,” the tallest structure innovatively created by renovating an abandoned pair of cement silos. At the Energy Park, Korea’s largest one, visitors will see how new and renewable energy is generated, indulge in hands-on activities and learn principles of green energy production. It features a photovoltaic power plan, energy manufacturing facilities, online electric bus, bike water cannons (visitors can generate electricity by pedaling a bike), recycled rockets and many others.

Furthermore, the Expo is brimming with cultural programs, with 40 performances and events taking place every day for the entire period of 93 days - 3,700 events in total! A flavor of culture and art will be found in official events, exhibition contents and seminars.
