Starting from Shanghai on May 15th, the host city for Expo 2010, Dongfeng
Aeolus' expedition to "Explore the World" travelled through Silk Capital
Suzhou, the Pearl of Taihu Lake Wuxi, Dragon City Changzhou, as well as
Nanjing - the ancient capital of six Chinese dynasties, Hefei - the hometown
of Baozheng, a fair and noble judge from the Song Dynasty, Nanyang - a city
full of talents, Xi'an - the top ancient capital in China, Lanzhou - an
important city on the Silk Road, Jiayuguan Great Wall - crowned as the "No.1
Defense Wall in the world", Hami - a key city in Western Regions, Urumchi -
China's west bridgehead of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge, Sailimu Lake
- boasting picturesque natural scenery, Fruit Valley - the "Iron Pass" of
China, and Horgo - the new Northern Silk Road.

During the 5,000km journey throughout China, the supporting vehicles of
the "Explore the World" expedition, namely Dongfeng Aeolus S30 and Dongfeng
Aeolus H30, have met and conquered the rough challenges of extreme
temperatures and high altitude operations. They also managed to climb beyond
the 3,500km high Qilian Mountain, pierce the blinding sands of Xingxing
Valley
, cut through the turbulent winds of Daban City, traverse "China's Dead
Sea," the Xinjiang Salt Lake and Turpan, which is the lowest, hottest and
driest place in China. They even faced fierce blizzards and sandstorms, fully
displaying the reliability and durability of the whole vehicle and their
components.

During the farewell ceremony held in Horgos Port, Li Chunrong, Vice
President of Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle Company offered the team of explorers
words of encouragement to drive forward without fear. With Dongfeng and its
promise of quality as their backbone, the team will be assured a story of
success and triumph.

Throughout the "Explore the World" expedition, the team received many
warm welcomes from a great deal of supporters, including 9 Dongfeng Aeolus
dealerships, 160 media outlets, 177 journalists, car owners, future customers
and auto fans. As the team departs China from Xinjiang, it will continue its
journey to 23 countries and regions in Europe, Africa, Oceania, and South and
North America, with a trip mileage totaling upwards of 50,000km.

Before its debut on the market, Dongfeng Aeolus S30 and H30 had already
passed the trial of a 3.12-million-kilometer test drive. Carrying on their
shoulders the dreams of 1.3 billion Chinese people and 130,000 Dongfeng
employees, they are about to compose a challenging heroic epic, which is a
testament to how far China's auto industry has come as well as a
demonstration of the excellent quality of Chinese vehicles.
