哈尔滨国际会展体育中心体育馆

Harbin International Conference, Exhibition and Sports Center Arena stands at 301 Hongqi Avenue in Nangang District. Construction began in 1999 and the hall opened in 2004, funded by the Harbin Institute of Technology Group. With 10,603 seats it is the largest and most comprehensively equipped indoor arena in Heilongjiang. It hosts basketball, volleyball, ice hockey and other indoor sports, and staged the Cup of China figure skating Grand Prix in 2007. The arena hosted the opening and closing ceremonies and indoor events of the 24th Winter Universiade in 2009, and it was chosen again for the opening ceremony of the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025, making it one of the few indoor venues to have opened two international multi-sport winter games. Together with the 48,000-seat stadium, exhibition halls A to D, the Huagi Hotel and the Hongbo shopping centre, it forms the Harbin International Conference, Exhibition and Sports Center, a district enclosed by Huanghe Road, Changjiang Road, Nanzhi Road and Hongqi Avenue and the city's densest concentration of exhibition and sports facilities.

Over two decades it has hosted national and international figure skating, basketball, volleyball and ice hockey fixtures, as well as concerts and ceremonies.
