永康国际会展中心

Yongkang International Convention and Exhibition Center is at 1 Wuhu Road, Yongkang, Jinhua, Zhejiang, between the headquarters business district to the north and the party school to the south, with National Highway 330 on its east. Invested by Zhejiang China Science and Technology Hardware City Group and completed in 2011, it is the only large professional exhibition venue in Yongkang, the hardware capital of China, and the permanent home of the China Hardware Fair. That fair began in 1996 and has run for thirty editions, growing from a simple trade hall into the country's benchmark hardware show and a bellwether for the industry. The venue covers a 176,000 sqm site with 162,000 sqm of floor area, made up of ten halls, a registration hall, an office building and a 100,000 sqm plaza. Hall buildings total 121,000 sqm, each hall 7,560 sqm, with about 75,600 sqm of net hall area, 3,500 indoor and 1,500 outdoor standard booths and 1,800 parking spaces. The 19,000 sqm registration hall rises four levels to 31.5 m and contains a rostrum, a press room and a 1,000-seat multifunction hall; the 22,000 sqm office building has 71 m towers and six outdoor LED screens totalling 2,200 sqm. The complex is shaped like a phoenix rising towards the sun, with water-cooled air conditioning, 53 lifts and 1,216 service boxes. National Highway 330 passes the front; Yongkang South high-speed rail station is about 20 minutes by car, with bus 11 to Headquarters Center and a short walk beyond.
