Opened in 2018, it is one of the largest performing arts centers in the world, encompassing an area of 9.9 hectares. The center was designed by the renowned Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and features a distinctive wave-like structure inspired by the banyan trees in the surrounding park. It houses four main performance venues: an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse, and a recital hall, each designed to accommodate a variety of artistic performances ranging from classical music and theater to contemporary dance and experimental art.
