北京九华国际会展中心

Beijing Jiuhua International Exhibition Center lies in Xiaotangshan, Changping District, with Capital International Airport to the east and the Wenyu River ecological corridor to the south. It was built to fill the gap in large-scale exhibition space in northern Beijing, and it did so not as a city-centre hall but as exhibition space attached to a resort. It belongs to Jiuhua Resort and was among the first venues in China to pair exhibition halls with a hot-spring resort hotel, the model that still defines it. Exhibition, conference, accommodation, dining, spa, medical check-up and shopping functions share one estate instead of being spread across a city, and that single-site arrangement is the whole proposition. A consumer fair, an industry annual meeting, a dealer conference or a training programme can run for several days with the same people sleeping, eating and meeting within walking distance of the stands. The site covers 622,000 sqm. The main hall building occupies 96,000 sqm of ground, temporary hall space a further 63,000 sqm, and there is 120,000 sqm of outdoor exhibition yard, enough for plant, vehicles and outdoor demonstrations. Indoors, about 50,000 sqm of exhibition space is arranged across three interconnected halls — A, B and C — on a single level, with combined registration areas of nearly 9,600 sqm, and divisible conference and banquet rooms alongside them. Architecturally it reads as a resort rather than an exhibition centre. Buildings are low-rise and courtyard-based, opening onto the gardens and the spa area, and the scale stays human rather than monumental. Access is by road: the Jingcheng and Jingzang expressways, the Sixth Ring Road and Litang Road all feed the site, which is about 20 km from Capital Airport. The resort runs an airport shuttle, and outdoor parking alone covers 250,000 sqm. Public transport otherwise means buses and taxis, which is the trade-off for a site that can hold a multi-day event end to end.
