Yunnan Haigeng Auditorium
Overview
Kunming Haigeng Hall (昆明海埂会堂) is a prestigious venue under the management of the Yunnan Haigeng Conference Center Management Bureau. Situated in the scenic area of Dianchi (滇池), it faces the stunning Western Hills (西山) and the serene Caohai Lake (草海). Spanning over 70,000 square meters, it is not only a large conference center for the Yunnan Provincial Government but also one of the largest international conference centers in Southeast Asia.
Architectural Features
Haigeng Hall is known for its impressive architecture and expansive layout. It features modern design elements while incorporating local cultural motifs, creating an inviting atmosphere for both domestic and international events. The hall’s strategic location near the Haigeng Dam (海埂大坝) enhances its aesthetic appeal, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Cultural Significance
In this peaceful era, we are grateful for the sacrifices made by countless heroes. Thanks to effective national measures against the virus and the protection of many, Kunming has remained largely unaffected. People enjoy the warm sunlight, feel liberated in nature, and appreciate the city’s vibrant outdoor life.
New Landmark
Kunming has recently unveiled its latest landmark, the largest group sculpture in Yunnan, known as “Spring City Dance” (春城园舞曲), or the National Unity Sculpture (民族大团结雕塑). This sculpture was prominently displayed in the Haigeng Resort area during the National Day holiday. Originally installed in 1984 at the Kunming East Station roundabout, it has been redesigned and moved to Haigeng Park (海埂公园), symbolizing unity and cultural diversity.
Scenic Beauty
The Haigeng Longtide (海埂长堤) has transformed into a breathtaking sea of flowers, with vibrant blooms lining one side and the tranquil waters of Dianchi Lake on the other. This picturesque setting makes it a perfect spot for leisurely walks, photography, and enjoying nature’s beauty.
