China Agricultural Exhibition Center
As one of the Ten Great Buildings of the Capital commemorating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the National Agricultural Exhibition Center had its location, scale, layout, and architectural style personally approved by Premier Zhou Enlai. Following its official completion in 1959, it hosted the first large-scale national exhibition held after the founding of the PRC—the National Exhibition of Agricultural Achievements Marking the 10th Anniversary of the Founding of the PRC—thus inaugurating nearly four decades of exhibition history in Beijing. Since then, the National Agricultural Exhibition Center has earned a renowned reputation throughout the capital, drawing widespread attention from both domestic and international audiences.
The entire complex covers an area of 52 hectares and comprises ten exhibition halls designed in the traditional Chinese architectural style, with a total floor space of 25,000 square meters. The new agricultural exhibition hall broke ground on November 8, 2004, and was officially put into service in May 2005. Featuring a large‑span, cable‑stayed truss‑bridge structure supported by independent column foundations, the new hall measures 152.5 meters in length and 86 meters in width, offering 13,000 square meters of exhibition space with a maximum height of 15.6 meters. Its construction has significantly enhanced the center’s capacity to host major exhibitions, making it a key highlight of our rental portfolio. In addition, the site includes three plazas totaling 40,000 square meters.
Within the grounds, lush trees provide welcome shade, vibrant flowers bloom in profusion, and shimmering lakes ripple gently, all set against a backdrop of classical architecture characterized by elegant corridors, pavilions, and roofs tiled in green with yellow eaves. The environment is exceptionally picturesque, making this the only large-scale, garden‑style exhibition center in Beijing that embodies traditional Chinese aesthetics. Exhibitors who have staged events here consistently regard the National Agricultural Exhibition Center as an unparalleled venue for hosting major exhibitions.
