Nyingchi Convention and Exhibition Center
Nyingchi Convention and Exhibition Center (; ), originally called the Nyingchi Guangdong Cultural Exhibition Center (), located in the heart of Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region, is a landmark facility integrating ecological design with modern functionality, as one landmark aiding project of Guangdong Province. Completed in 2012 after a two-year construction period (2010–2012), the center spans 5,000 square meters and features multiple exhibition halls, conference rooms, and a central atrium. Its architecture harmonizes traditional Tibetan elements—such as sloping roofs and intricate wood carvings—with contemporary glass-and-steel structures, symbolizing the fusion of local culture and modernization.
Culture
The center hosts major events such as the Nyingchi Peach Blossom Tourism Festival and the Tibet Agricultural Products Expo, attracting over 50,000 annual visitors. It also serves as a hub for cultural exchanges, including exhibitions on Tibetan intangible heritage and collaborative art projects with Guangdong Province. Managed by the Nyingchi Municipal Government, the center underscores the city's commitment to sustainable development and cross-regional cooperation, while preserving the ecological integrity of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau.
On October 16, 2018, the opening ceremony of the first Trans-Himalayan Extreme Cycling Race was held at the square of Nyingchi Convention and Exhibition Center.
In August 2023, young artists from Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macao went to Nyingchi for performances and exchanges. The events were held respectively at the White Egret Cultural Square in Mainling, the Nyingchi Convention and Exhibition Center and the Lulang Town.
Ecology
Ecological sustainability was prioritized throughout the building process. Local materials like Tibetan fir and slate were extensively used to reduce carbon footprint, while the structure incorporates passive solar design and rainwater harvesting systems. The center's landscaped surroundings, including native flora like Himalayan birch and rhododendrons, blend seamlessly with the nearby Nyang River, reinforcing its role in promoting Nyingchi's "ecological city" branding.
