福州海峡国际会展中心

Fuzhou Strait International Conference and Exhibition Center stands on the exhibition island on the north bank of the Min River at 198 Nanjiangbin West Avenue, Cangshan District, with the river to the north and Fuzhou South railway station to the south. It covers 670,000 sqm with 440,000 sqm of floor area, its two exhibition wings joined by an axial conference centre. A Fuzhou landmark, it is the only large exhibition centre in China located inside a free trade zone and one of the country's largest single exhibition complexes. Completed on 18 May 2010, it took over the Cross-Strait Economic and Trade Fair that same year and has since hosted the Digital China Summit, the BRICS political parties, think tanks and civil society organisations forum, and the World Maritime Equipment Conference; in 2025 it was named a most influential exhibition venue. It now has ten indoor halls with 120,000 sqm of net exhibition space - about 80,000 sqm when it opened in 2010, the figure used in this database - and nearly 6,000 standard booths. The 86,000 sqm conference centre contains an opening hall, great hall, multi-function hall, international conference hall and more than 40 meeting rooms. Support facilities include offices, dining, an underground mall, an exhibition plaza and 1,400-2,000 parking spaces, while spaces 6 and 7 can host mid-sized concerts and sports events. Two oval exhibition buildings, each about 468 m long and 130 m wide, flank the central conference centre in a broad symmetrical composition. Metro Line 4's Huizhan Zhongxin station sits at Nanjiangbin West Avenue and Huizhan West Road, right by the venue; Line 1 stations Baihuting, Huluzhen and Huangshan are 2-3 km away with bus 501 and 502 connections, and Fuzhou South station and the city centre are a short run along Nanjiangbin Avenue.
