Description
The Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center is a modern sports complex with an 80,000-seat stadium featuring petal-shaped architectural elements. The facility includes a 10,000-seat tennis center, retail spaces, and multiple pedestrian walkways that connect all areas.
History
Construction of this major sports complex began in 2018 as part of Hangzhou's plan to develop infrastructure for hosting international sporting events. The project marked an important step in establishing the city as a key venue for major competitions.
