西宁海湖体育中心体育场

Xining Haihu Sports Center Stadium stands at 88 Wusi West Road in Chengxi District, Xining, Qinghai, on the southern bank of Haihu Wetland Park. It is the main stadium of the Haihu Sports Center, also known as Qinghai Sports Center, a one-stadium, two-halls complex. The stadium covers about 50,000 square metres on a circular plan roughly 257 metres in diameter and seats 40,000, making it one of the largest stadiums on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It forms a three-part composition with a 7,500-seat indoor arena and a 1,500-seat swimming hall: the stadium occupies the western core, the two halls sit north and south on the eastern side, and a pair of opposing C-shaped arcs ties the three buildings together, with roads and landscape axes radiating from the stadium's centre. The exterior uses a diamond-star space-grid structure that removes redundant members from conventional space frames, producing a light lattice of diamond crystals clad in a folded skin that glows like crystal at night. The site is sunken to resolve the north-south level difference and to bring daylight into the basement, with gradients kept below seven percent except at a few landscape steps. Inside are a standard athletics track, a training track and a football pitch, supporting athletics, football and large-scale concerts; Xue Zhiqian and Jeff Chang both performed here in June 2024, when the city ran 400 free shuttle buses. Wusi West Road is the main approach, and the stadium is about ten minutes' drive from the central Haihu New Area commercial district. The stadium also anchors the city's New Year's Day round-the-city run, which drew more than 13,000 participants when the complex first opened.
