The Beijing Exhibition Hall is located on the north side of Xizhimenwai Street in Beijing, next to the Beijing Zoo. It is a Russian-style building complex designed by Soviet designers, with one identical building complex in Beijing and Shanghai. Wuhan also built a Russian-style exhibition hall, but the exhibition hall in the Wuhan complex has been demolished, leaving only the Wuhan Theater. Since its completion in 1954, the Beijing Exhibition Hall has been the center for displaying the political and economic achievements of the Beijing area and even China. It not only has a huge exhibition hall, but also beautiful theaters, Moscow Restaurant and other ancillary buildings. It is a place where you can see the exterior and enter the specific exhibition to visit.

The Beijing Exhibition Hall usually has activities similar to a big bazaar where you can buy down jackets, clothes, silk, etc. If you happen to be there, you can go and have a look. There is a very open square in front of the door.

Coincidentally, this year’s Tea Expo was the first time I came to the Beijing Exhibition Center.

The building has an Eastern European Orthodox style. I came across it on the way to the zoo. The building is very distinctive.

It's not a good review for this one, because we went there late and didn't get to go inside to visit. But its appearance is very beautiful, really beautiful. This place is a little off the beaten track, and the road signs and map instructions are not very clear. We searched for a long time before we found it~

I saw it on the forum and planned to go to the model exhibition, but unfortunately the exhibition was over. I took a photo outside but didn't go in.

The Beijing Exhibition Center is located at No. 135 Xizhimenwai Street, Xicheng District, but its spire is still very popular among domestic buildings. There is also a large circular square in front of the center, and the location is very advantageous. I went to the Beijing Exhibition Center Theater to watch a Russian ballet performance. The venue environment is not very modern, but the service is good and the performance is very good.

The building is quite distinctive, in Russian style, very beautiful. Various exhibitions are often held here. If you don't see the exhibitions, it's still worth it just to see the building~

The "Wings of the Vanguard" drone exhibition was held at the Beijing Exhibition Center, so today I took the subway again to the Zoo Station, then walked to the exhibition center, which opened at 9:00.
