The Hangzhou International Expo Center is located at the northwest corner of Qianjiang Century City and served as the main venue for the G20 Summit. From an aerial view, it aligns with the Hangzhou Grand Theater and the Great Golden Ball in Qianjiang New City, forming the ‘Sun and Moon Shine Together’ along the same central axis. The Expo Center covers an area of 190,000 square meters. For the G20 Summit, approximately 170,000 square meters of the International Expo Center were utilized, including the main spaces such as the reception area, conference area, and banquet area, which have been open to the public since September 25th.
Reception Area: Located on the second floor of the Expo Center, this is where the cars carrying the leaders of the G20 countries stopped during the summit.
