成都世纪城新国际会展中心

Chengdu Century City New International Convention & Exhibition Center stands beside Tianfu Avenue in the southern new district of Chengdu, Sichuan, at 198 Century City Road. Its cornerstone was laid in December 2003, the exhibition halls opened in December 2004 and the whole project was completed by the end of 2007, making it the starting point of Chengdu's convention-city strategy and one of the largest exhibition complexes in western China. The wider Century City project has about 1.73 million sqm of floor area in five zones — exhibition, international conference, hotels and culture, business offices and housing — organised around Swan Lake and a water theme. The exhibition zone in the east has 17 halls: nine main halls and eight linking halls fanning out towards the Fu Nan River. Main halls are 11,000 to 11,500 sqm each and linking halls about 1,000 sqm, giving roughly 105,000 to 110,000 sqm of indoor space and 5,500 standard booths. Halls are single-storey and column-free with clear heights of 12–21 m and pre-installed water, power and fibre connections. The 100,000 sqm conference centre contains more than 30 meeting, negotiation, VIP and press rooms. The fan-shaped, ginkgo-leaf plan opens onto Swan Lake and a large forecourt, with freight entering from the rear. Metro Line 1 stops at Century City station at the venue, and Tianfu Avenue, the ring expressway and many bus routes serve the area.
