Located in the northern part of the North Park of the Garden Expo Park in Gaotie New Town, Ouhai District, Wenzhou, it is one of the "Two Pavilions" within the overall landscape layout featuring "One Pavilion, Two Pavilions, and Twelve Scenic Spots" of the Garden Expo Park. Backed by mountains to the north and facing a lake to the south, the venue forms a harmonious and unified whole with surrounding landscape elements such as islands, lakes, and bridges. The project was chiefly designed by Cheng Taining, a Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Rooted in the cultural motif of Shanshui Wenzhou, a Millennium Commercial Port, the building embodies the interplay of mountain and wave through stratified eaves and sail-shaped profiles. The venue has a total gross floor area of 149,000 square meters and an indoor exhibition space of over 14,000 square meters.
