Bubble Bar

The Bubble Bar is the most artistically designed and irregularly shaped space within the venue, with a total area of 660 square meters. The space is enclosed entirely by ETFE membrane structures, allowing natural light to fill the area during the day. At night, under the dynamic lighting of the venue's membrane structure, it transforms into a colorful, dreamlike atmosphere. The Bubble Bar is ideal for fashion shows, art exhibitions, themed forums and parent-child interactive experiences.

Water Droplet Theater

The Water Droplet Theater, located on the fourth floor of the venue's south section, covers approximately 200 square meters and has 126 seats. The theater is equipped with projection screens and a full set of audio equipment. A professional control room is also available to support a variety of events.

Art Space

The Art Space is located just outside the Water Droplet Theater on the fourth floor of the venue's south section. The exhibition area is divided into a front hall and a rear hall, connected by a curved corridor. The curvilinear design of the space creates a strong artistic atmosphere, symbolizing "drifting cups on a meandering stream," an elegant pastime popular among ancient literati. It is suitable for art exhibitions, salons and other cultural exchange activities.

South Square

Located directly south of the venue, the site covers a usable area of 1,500 square meters and has a capacity of 300-500 people. Offering panoramic views of the Olympic Park, the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest, it is an ideal outdoor space for small- and medium-sized events.
