Century Lotus Stadium

Century Lotus Stadium is a sports facility in Foshan with a grass playing field and covered seating for approximately 36,000 spectators. The structure was designed by German architects and accommodates football matches, track and field events, and other athletic competitions.

The stadium opened in 2006 as part of Foshan's modernization push during the early 2000s. It marked a significant moment in the city's development as a host for national and international sporting events.

The stadium's name references the lotus flower, which holds deep symbolic meaning in Chinese tradition as a representation of purity and renewal. This naming choice reflects how the venue became a symbol of Foshan's modern development.

The venue is easily accessible through the Guangfo Shijilian transit station, which connects multiple transport lines throughout the city. Visitors should arrive early during major events to navigate crowds and find parking conveniently.

The facility is used not only for sports but also as a venue for major music concerts and performances. Well-known Chinese artists have performed here in front of thousands of audiences.
