Yao explains that a dark ride is something akin to an "indoor roller coaster," which is combined with constructed scenery and projected images in an enclosed space. This is the first time a dark ride has been tried at a Chinese Pavilion (previously, the Chinese pavilions at World Expos have tended to be rather staid affairs).
姚開陽解釋，所謂「黑暗騎乘」，就是讓參觀者搭乘類似「室內雲霄飛車」的載具，在結合造景與多媒體投影的封閉空間中前進，這是在歷屆世博中向來以正經八股形象著稱的中國館的首度嘗試。
