Shanxi Sports Centre Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Taiyuan, China.
Shanxi Sports Centre Stadium is a modern sports venue in Taiyuan featuring a striking red design with a metallic ring encircling the outer edge of the roof. The overall complex spans a large area and houses multiple secondary halls for different sports disciplines.
The stadium was built starting in 2009 and completed in 2011, marking a turning point for sports in Shanxi Province. Its opening represented part of a wider expansion of sports infrastructure in the region during that period.
The stadium's design merges traditional Chinese architectural concepts with contemporary construction, showing how local symbolic meanings find expression in modern buildings. The red coloring and curved form are immediately recognizable to visitors and shape the character of the place.
Visitors will find multiple facilities for different sports located in one place, which makes planning visits more convenient. It helps to check ahead about current usage and events to choose the best time for a visit.
The roof contains red glass panels that create light effects during daytime and completely change the building's appearance once darkness falls. This material technique makes the structure look remarkably different at various times of day.
