Aoti Center Stadium

Aoti Center Stadium hosted the equestrian and running events of the modern pentathlon during the 2008 Olympics, where two gold medals were awarded. The stadium is part of a renovation and expansion project, with the renovated and expanded total floor area of 37,000 square meters and a seating capacity of 40,000 spectators. The main structure of the project has been completed and was delivered for use at the end of July 2007.

Aoti Center Gymnasium is a multi-functional sports venue. It has 5,748 spectator seats and a total floor area of 25,300 square meters. The gymnasium has a hexagonal floor plan. The first floor on the north side houses facilities for VIPs (both internal and external), security, film and television, press and reporters' workspaces, telecommunications, computer services, and more. The second floor contains spectator entrances and lounge areas. The third floor, on the east and west sides, includes scoreboards and offices as well as lounge areas. The competition hall uses high-efficiency scandium-sodium lamps, with medium-wide beam fixtures installed on both sides in four rows to enhance vertical illumination.
