Minyuan Stadium

Minyuan Stadium is a sports facility with classical British-inspired architecture located in Wudadao, Tianjin. The building accommodates roughly 18,000 spectators and houses sports events alongside indoor fitness areas, cafes, and dining options.

Eric Liddell, a British athlete and missionary, designed the facility in 1925 and established it as a leading sports venue in the Far East. A major renovation in 2014 transformed its role and converted it into a public gathering space.

The stadium draws crowds for sporting events and cultural gatherings that reflect both international and local traditions. Its Western architectural style contrasts with how ordinary residents use it as a gathering place for everyday activities.

The site is straightforward to navigate on foot with clear entry points and well-marked facilities. Visitors can find parking, information desks, and basic amenities to support a comfortable stay.

The design drew inspiration from London's Stamford Bridge Stadium, reflecting its international character rooted in early 20th-century connections. This link to British sports architecture remains visible in certain structural details today.
