沈阳奥林匹克体育中心

Shenyang Olympic Sports Center lies in the core of Hunnan District at No. 30 Hunnan Middle Road, bounded by Tiancheng Street to the east, Tiantan Street to the west, Hunnan Avenue to the south and Hunnan Fourth Road to the north, on the same ceremonial axis as the Shenyang Imperial Palace. The complex follows a one-stadium, three-halls plan: the Wulihe Stadium, a 10,000-seat arena, a 4,000-seat swimming hall and a 4,000-seat tennis hall. Wulihe Stadium was completed in June 2007 on a 25.33 ha site with 115,562 sqm of floor area, two spectator tiers separated by 102 VIP boxes, and 60,000 seats, with dedicated disabled seating, lifts and ramps. The pitch is natural turf with a 400 m synthetic track built to FIFA and World Athletics standards, two 192.6 sqm full-colour LED screens face the field, and two floodlit training pitches with stands sit to the northeast and northwest. The building is known for its softly curved roof, described as a light wing settling on green hills and tuned to the surrounding water and planting; the project won the Luban Prize and the national steel structure Jinguang Award and set several domestic firsts. It hosted football at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the opening ceremony and athletics of the 12th National Games in 2013 and the China-Thailand World Cup qualifier in 2024, and regularly stages concerts while keeping its grounds free to the public. Metro Lines 2 and 9 meet at Olympic Sports Center station, with Hunnan Avenue and the southern extension of Qingnian Avenue forming the road network.
