Guangzhou plans to select an area in Pazhou as the permanent location of the Understanding China Conference.

The location has a land area of 1.7 hectares and a construction area of 23,000 square meters. It is located to the west of the Guangzhou round-the-city expressway and next to the Wanshengwei Station of Metro Line 4 and Line 8 in the southwest.

This area in Pazhou is a waterfront area formed by the Pearl River and its tributaries and is shaped like a human's eyes. It will be an innovation cooperation zone for the digital and headquarters economies. The permanent location of the Understanding China Conference will become a comprehensive conference center integrating high-end international conferences and exhibitions.

The Understanding China Conference was held in Guangzhou on Dec 1 to 4, 2021 with the theme "Whence and Whither: Unprecedented Changes in the World and China and the CPC". It was the third time Guangzhou has hosted the event, which has become one of the most prestigious and influential platforms helping the world understand China's domestic and international strategies.
