Live Your Best Lives
The Jinan Shungeng International Convention and Exhibition Center, invested in and built by the Jinan Municipal Government, is located within the grounds of Shungeng Villa, Jinan's former state guesthouse. Nestled against the mountainside, it blends seamlessly into nature, surrounded by stunning greenery and boasts a prime location and convenient transportation. Equipped with central air conditioning, escalators, fire monitoring, and an automatic alarm system, the center is divided into functional areas: an exhibition hall, conference rooms, a sun lounger, a business center, and a banquet hall. It integrates exhibitions, conferences, dining, accommodation, and office space. The building, with its elegant design and imposing presence, has become a landmark in Jinan's urban development.
The architectural design of the Convention and Exhibition Center is based on the principles of respecting the natural environment and obeying the overall situation of the region. The design concept is to highlight the natural features of Jinan's mountains and water. Through architectural shapes that conform to the contours of the mountains and landscape designs that show the flow of water, it achieves an organic combination of man and nature, architecture and landscape, and creates a new and beautiful landscape for Jinan, the City of Springs.
Jinan has a temperate monsoon climate with obvious monsoons and distinct four seasons: dry and rainy spring, warm and rainy summer, cool and dry autumn, and cold and snowy winter.
