杭州棋院（智力大厦）棋类馆

The Hangzhou Chess Academy venue occupies the southeast corner of the Bo'ao Road and Liyi Road junction in the Olympic Expo City core of Xiaoshan District, beside the Big Lotus main stadium and across the Qiantang River from the academy's older home in Tianyuan Tower. Zhili Tower rises 199.8 m with 47 floors above ground and two below, and a total floor area of 126,000 sqm, of which 85,379 sqm is above ground. Competition and training spaces for chess and card games occupy floors 1 to 14, with 26,633 sqm of Games-time floor area, handed over on 29 March 2022 after sports-function and technical acceptance. During the Hangzhou Asian Games the building staged go, xiangqi, chess and bridge, producing 13 gold medals, and it hosted go and chess at the Asian Para Games. Designed around the ideas of compatibility, innovation and sharing, the tower stacks offices, competition halls, exchange and training rooms, teaching space, research, a museum, a library and creative retail in one volume, so rooms convert quickly between uses. After the Games it became China's first integrated mind-sports complex and now reaches into esports and other emerging disciplines. The China Chess Academy's Hangzhou branch, founded in 1986, moved its main operations into the tower in early 2023, keeping Tianyuan Tower as a secondary base. Spectators and teams reach the venue on Metro Line 6 to Expo Centre station, about three minutes' walk from exit B1 to the west entrance; Bo'ao Road, Liyi Road and Feihong Road form the surrounding grid, and the main stadium of the Olympic Sports Centre is within walking distance.
