The oxygen plant, located at No 33 Hangyang Street and built in the 1950s, has transformed into a cultural and exhibition hub spanning over 103,000 square meters. The renovation, led by Hangzhou Convention and Exhibition Group, integrates the plant's original factory buildings with new structures, blending history with modernity.

Alongside the expo, former factory employees are invited to witness this rebirth of their old workplace, as the center hosts a diverse array of international exhibits and cultural events that bring Hangzhou's rich industrial history into a vibrant future.
