德清体育中心体育馆

Deqing Sports Center Gymnasium stands on Deqing Avenue in Wukang subdistrict, Deqing county, Huzhou, on the eastern side of the county sports centre. The building is circular in plan with a podium, reading as a clean volume from the air. The wider Deqing Sports Center covers 176 mu with more than 50,000 sqm of floor area and comprises a stadium, the gymnasium, a swimming hall and a multi-purpose hall. The gymnasium served as a volleyball venue for the Hangzhou Asian Games, with 18,296 sqm of floor area, 3,000 seats, a main competition hall and a warm-up hall over three levels: the playing floor and support rooms at ground level, VIP and spectator seating on the second. It had already hosted the Chinese professional volleyball league from the 2015 to 2019 seasons and the men's volleyball qualifying tournament for the 2017 National Games. Its Asian Games renovation won the 2022 Qianjiang Cup, Zhejiang's construction quality award. During the 2023 Games it staged women's volleyball group matches, and the Asian Volleyball Confederation gave the Deqing organising team an award for outstanding contribution. Afterwards the hall continued as the home court of the Zhejiang Deqing men's team in the Chinese Volleyball Super League, and it also hosts Zhejiang's ZBA basketball league, youth coaching and public fitness sessions, sharing parking and retail with the stadium and swimming hall. The hall's three levels separate the playing floor from VIP and spectator circulation, a layout introduced in the Asian Games renovation. Deqing lies about 48 km northwest of the Asian Games village in Hangzhou, and the county centre also runs a 400 m track and a swimming hall alongside the gymnasium, so the site covers both competition and daily public use.
