Interior decoration for Jinwan Aviation New Town Civic Arts Center is near completion, while final touches for outdoor curtain walls and gardening are underway, with the construction of the center expected to be finished by the end of the year. 

Aviation New Town Central Lake has finished the final debugging of its fountain performance and flower plantation, which is scheduled to go through the completion acceptance process at the end of October.

Jinfan Tunnel, which goes beneath the center, is now in good condition for operation, providing motorists access to the underground parking lots of the center, as well as nearby Jinwan Aviation New Town Civic Center and Huafa Mall.

Located in the heart of Aviation New Town Central Lake off Jinfan Avenue, the center has floorage of 100,000 sqm (24.7 acres). It contains a six-story theater with 1,200 seats as its core, 500-seat multi-functional hall, contemporary art hall, science popularization hall, as well as supporting facilities, such as equipment rooms and parking lots.

Numerous new technologies and materials were applied in the center's construction to bring to life the gem-like design that was inspired by flocks of birds and drifting sails, which was created by Zaha Hadid Architects.

Upon operation, the project will be the first international public cultural venue to be built with high standards in Zhuhai's west wing. It will be able to meet the demands of large-scale stage performances, such as operas, dance shows, and musicals, while also forming a brand-new cultural and art landmark along with the Zhuhai Opera House in Old Xiangzhou and Huafa & CPAA Grand Theater in Shizimen.
