Location and Overall Scale

Egret Stadium is situated in the core area of Baopo New Town, Jiyang District, Sanya City (No. 88 Baopo Road), with convenient transportation access. It boasts a seating capacity of 45,000 spectators, and its overall design and construction specifications fully meet the high standards required for hosting international-level events. Its exceptional engineering quality was recognized with the prestigious Luban Prize, China’s highest honor in construction engineering, in 2023.

Core Functions and Positioning

The design of Egret Stadium aims to meet diverse needs:

International Sports Events: As a high-standard venue, it has already undertaken the responsibility of hosting national and even international-level sports competitions.

Large-Scale Performances: It has become a popular venue for major commercial concerts by top-tier celebrities.

Public Fitness Center: The venue actively serves the community, with some facilities (such as the training track) regularly open to the public free of charge, reflecting its commitment to public welfare.

Iconic Design Highlights

The stadium’s architectural design is rich in symbolic meaning and technological innovation:

Form and Symbolism: Its sleek facade is composed of 972 membrane structure units biomimicking “egret” wings, symbolizing soaring flight and harmonizing with Sanya’s coastal character.

Color Narrative: The blue running track inside the venue represents the azure sea surrounding Sanya, while the yellow-to-blue gradient colors of the spectator seats vividly recreate the transition from golden beaches to the vast sky, full of tropical flair.

Technological Innovation: During construction, the stadium pioneered the global first application of carbon fiber cable technology in a large-span cable-membrane structure. This material is lighter, stronger, and more corrosion-resistant than traditional steel cables, ensuring the main structure is both lightweight and robust.

Transportation and Comprehensive Facilities

Egret Stadium features convenient transportation and well-developed surrounding amenities:

Transportation Network: The venue is only about 5 kilometers from Sanya Railway Station. It is served by three planned public transport hub stations nearby and is connected by scenically landscaped approach roads, making access easy.

“Two Stadiums, Two Halls” Complex: It is the core component of the Sanya International Sports Industry Park. The park follows a master plan of “two stadiums, two halls,” comprising the main stadium, an outdoor training field, an indoor comprehensive gymnasium, and a natatorium. Future plans include the development of commercial complexes, forming a complete sports, cultural, and leisure destination.
