昆明滇池国际会展中心

Kunming Dianchi International Convention and Exhibition Center sits on the Futao peninsula on the shore of Dianchi Lake in Guandu District, Kunming, within the city's three-peninsula lakefront area. Completed and opened in 2015, it is Yunnan's landmark project combining exhibition, hotel, retail and leisure functions, the principal venue of the China-South Asia Expo and the Kunming Import and Export Fair, and the province's window for engagement with South and Southeast Asia. The site covers about 2,331 mu with roughly 5.4 million square metres of floor area, which the operator ranks third nationally and first in southwest China, of which phase one halls and supporting space account for about 1.17 million square metres. There are 23 halls of about 10,000 square metres each: thirteen pillar-free halls totalling some 200,000 square metres and ten columned halls of about 100,000 square metres, giving around 300,000 square metres indoors and 100,000 square metres outdoors, enough for about 15,000 international standard booths. A 20,000-square-metre conference centre provides 64 negotiation rooms of 77 square metres, fifteen meeting rooms of 272 to 425 square metres, 28 VIP rooms, a 1,330-square-metre multipurpose hall and a 468-square-metre lecture theatre, with banquet kitchens serving 3,000 diners and nearly 8,000 underground parking spaces. The design concept, "peacock spreading its tail, auspicious spring city", is realised through a welded spatial steel structure of variable-section thin-walled twisted members that won a National Quality Engineering Award. Metro Line 5, Huanhu East Road and the ring expressway connect the site with the city centre, about 15 kilometres from Changshui International Airport.
