Da Nang Exhibition Center

Da Nang Exhibition Center, formally the Da Nang International Exhibition and Fair Center, occupies 9 Cach Mang Thang Tam Street in Cam Le Ward on the southern bank of the Han River in Da Nang. It is the city's principal trade-fair ground and one of the largest exhibition sites in central Vietnam, run by the Da Nang City Centre for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion. The site covers 140,000 sqm in total: 10,000 sqm of indoor exhibition space over three floors, 50,500 sqm of outdoor exhibition and event area, 81,300 sqm of gardens and parking, and a 2,200 sqm warehouse. That balance of indoor and outdoor space is unusual for the region and lets the venue host construction-equipment shows, vehicle launches and Vietbuild, which regularly fills more than 1,000 booths, alongside consumer fairs and the East-West Economic Corridor trade, tourism and investment fair. The complex was built to a standard that allowed it to serve as a press centre for the APEC 2017 summit, and it now runs more than 40 programmes and events a year. Its architecture is that of a civic trade campus rather than a landmark: a broad three-storey hall set behind a formal forecourt, with most of the site given over to open-air lots and landscaping. Da Nang International Airport lies across the Han River, about 10 minutes by road, and the site is reached from the city centre over the Han River bridges and the southern arterial roads.
