Expo drew millions of visitors. This was the first time a developing country has hosted Expo, and in a nation where most people are still not able to travel abroad, it was an opportunity for them to experience sights and sounds from a diversity of cultures. The iconic 'Seed Cathedral' proved to be one of Expo's top attractions, welcoming an average of 45,000 visitors each day. People queued for up to 6 hours in stifling heat, yet when they finally entered the pavilion the expressions of wonder on their faces were magical to see.
