Gallery: The post-Expo apocalypse

After months of build up and over 180 days of operation, the 2010 Expo closed its doors on October 31. With the Expo now officially over, it's time for one final task: packing up. 

Countries are moving their exhibitions out of the site, some back to their home country, some to the nearest landfill.

The China Pavillion and the Expo Axis among others will remain, but the individual country pavilions will be going to the scrap heap.

We take one last look at the Expo, now that all the crowds(and most of the workers) have left.

Stray dogs have the run of the 2010 Expo now, these particular ones seem a bit better fed than your average Shanghai stray. 

Parts of the elevated walkway will be left standing when the Expo site is redeveloped.

The entrance to the Pacific Joint Pavilion looks downright tropical.

Some parts of the Expo site resemble a set for a horror movie, just add zombies.
