While in Beijing, have you ever visited the New China International Exhibition Center (NCIEC)?

In recent years, as the exhibition center with the largest exhibition area and the most integrated facilities in Beijing, NCIEC has reported steady growth in the number, scale and effect of exhibitions. Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform recently approved the construction of NCIEC's Phase II project, which is an important platform and carrier to serve the city's development as the center for international exchanges and the international consumption center, implement the task of building "Two Zones", and build Beijing into an international convention and exhibition city. After completion, the project will greatly contribute to the overall competitiveness of the convention and exhibition industry in Beijing. The project will commence construction within the year and is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2024. By then, Beijing's organizing capacity and service level for conventions and exhibitions will be further enhanced, along with an effective improvement of the overall competitiveness of the convention and exhibition industry in Beijing. Now, we will take you to the Phase II project of the NCIEC to show you the highlights of this project in advance.

The largest single complex in Beijing boasts about 200,000㎡ net exhibition area

The Phase II project of the NCIEC is located in the 23rd Block of Shunyi New Town and the north side of the Phase I project, which will be built into a convention and exhibition complex with reasonable spatial planning, complete infrastructures, and coordinated industrial development.

Construction scale: The land area is about 637,400㎡, and the above-ground building area is about 438,500㎡.

Construction items: Exhibition Venue, Convention Center, supporting facilities, etc.

Among them, the Exhibition Venue is the largest single building in Beijing, with a total of nine exhibition pavilions and a net exhibition area of about 200,000㎡, equivalent to two times that of Phase I, which can meet the needs of holding large conventions and exhibitions.

The indoor net conference area of the Convention Center is about 15,000㎡, which can meet the needs of international summits, business conferences, and government affairs meetings;

The business hotel has a total of 450 guest rooms, as well as restaurants, banquet halls, and small meeting/ negotiation rooms.

As a major project to promote the "Two Zones", it will further fill the supply gap of large exhibition venues in Beijing, enhance its support capacity to provide services for large international exhibition events, and help boost Beijing's image and quality. 

The exquisite design incorporates Chinese elements and reflects the inheritance through the ages

What will a project of this magnitude be built into? What kind of experience will it bring to visitors and exhibitors in the future? Please join us for a "preview".

The overall layout of the project will follow the central axis pattern of Phase I, and on the central axis there will be South and North Entrance Halls, the Exhibition Preface Hall and the landscape corridor connecting the Conference Hotel and Phase I.

In terms of architectural shape, it draws on the classic Chinese element of the Palace Museum—glazed tiles, which perfectly blends exquisite and complex traditional elements into the texture of the building, showing the charm of Beijing as the capital. Elegant and dense lines interweave among all exhibition pavilions, implying the linking and sharing of knowledge in such an era of information.

It is worth mentioning that the project focuses on the features and needs of the convention and exhibition center. In terms of design, it fully simulates the actual situation of the flow of visitors, vehicles and exhibits during the exhibition to ensure that the three flow lines do not interfere with each other.

A platform is built to enhance the exhibition organizing capacity and attract more industries

Upon completion, the NCIEC (including Phase I and Phase II) will cover a net exhibition area of more than 300,000㎡ in total and provide an exhibition venue, a Convention Center, a hotel, an experience-oriented commercial complex, etc. Moreover, the organizing capacity and service quality of the surrounding exhibition facilities will also be enhanced, and the overall competitiveness of the convention and exhibition industry in Beijing will be brought to a higher level.

The project, which is close to Beijing Capital International Airport, will serve as an important platform for expanding the opening-up of Beijing’s service industry, effectively driving the exhibition upstream and downstream industries to gather in the surrounding areas, focusing on strategic emerging industries and modern service industries, cultivating world-influential brand exhibitions, and improving the ability of the convention and exhibition industry to allocate high-end elements and resources.

In addition, the project will also uphold the concept of green, low-carbon and sustainable development, integrate the ecological park landscape, highlight the empowerment of intelligent technologies, help create new iconic dynamic blocks in the region, and improve the overall quality of the city.
