杭州国际博览中心

Hangzhou International Expo Center occupies 353 Benjing Avenue in Qianjiang Century City, Xiaoshan District, on the south bank of the Qiantang River within the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo City. With 850,000 sqm of gross floor area, it was the main venue of the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit and in 2023 served as the main media centre and the squash venue for the Hangzhou Asian Games, symbolising the city's move from the West Lake era to the Qiantang River era. Designed by the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, it has five levels above ground and two below, organised into an exhibition centre, conference centre, ancillary property, a roof garden known as the City Lounge, underground retail and parking. The exhibition centre covers 90,000 sqm in 10 halls of 7,700 to 10,000 sqm, with 7,500 standard booths including 1,000 outdoors. The 19,000 sqm conference centre has 61 meeting rooms; the main hall follows the traditional 'round heaven, square earth' idea and the banquet hall ceiling carries starry imagery and an ink-painting landscape scroll. A 60,000 sqm roof garden sits 44 m above ground. The steel structure weighs 145,000 tonnes. The venue belongs to ICCA, UIA, IAEE, UFI and AIPC and was the first Chinese venue certified under five international management systems. A second phase of four double-deck halls is under construction, due around 2026, taking the total to 1.3 million sqm. Metro Line 6's Expo Center station, exit D, is about 50 m from Gate 7.
