China National Convention Center, Convention center in Aoyuncun Subdistrict, Beijing, China
The China National Convention Center is a large convention center in the Aoyuncun Subdistrict of Beijing, China. It has a postmodern design with a glass facade and a roof that slopes gently, and it contains halls for exhibitions, meetings, and performances.
The China National Convention Center was built for the 2008 Olympic Games and served as the main press center and international broadcasting center. After the Games, it was converted into a convention center and has since hosted many large events.
The building's name is often shortened to CNCC by locals, and it is a common meeting point during large trade fairs. On event days, the surrounding streets fill with people from many countries, and the nearby Olympic Park becomes a place for walking and taking photos.
The center sits in the Olympic Green area, with wide walkways and clear signs to help you find your way. It is best to check the event schedule before you go, as some halls may be closed to the public during private functions.
The building's roof has a subtle curve that echoes the shape of traditional Chinese roofs, a detail that is easy to miss from the street. Inside, some of the original press facilities from the Olympics are still in use for events.
