Jaser, Deputy Minister for Planning and Programs at the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, congratulated Ma and presented him with two round-trip tickets to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Expo Shanghai mascot “Haibao,” or “baby from the sea,” showed up as well. “I am very impressed to be the 4 millionth visitor, to be received in the Saudi Pavilion as a special guest and to be presented with such a nice gift. This pavilion is indeed really amazing,” said Ma, a civil engineer from Kunshan City - Jiangsu Province, who moved to Shanghai for his work one year ago. Two weeks from the closing ceremony of Expo 2010, the Saudi Arabian Pavilion remains popular. October 17, 2010, was also the busiest day since the beginning of this international event, with more than 1 million visitors. Ma felt lucky to go through the Saudi pavilion entrance at the right moment and privileged to receive such a warm welcome.
