China International Youth Exchange Center

The China International Youth Exchange Center is a theatre building in Maizidian that houses multiple functional spaces for events and programs. The facility includes a main performance venue, conference spaces, exhibition areas, educational rooms, and residential accommodations on its grounds.

The facility was established through an agreement between Japanese and Chinese leaders starting in 1984, with construction completed by 1990 using Japanese funding. This partnership marked an important moment in bilateral cultural and youth exchange initiatives between the two nations.

The center serves as a meeting place for young people from different countries to exchange ideas and experiences. Visitors can see how various international events and performances bring together participants from around the world.

The facility is well organized with clearly defined areas for different types of events and activities throughout the grounds. Visitors can find all necessary amenities in one location, making it convenient for multi-day programs and conferences.

The building features a special bridge structure that connects the circular theater section to the hotel area. This connection blends Chinese and Japanese architectural elements, creating a physical link between the two main sections.
