Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province opened a cutting-edge new venue for the 2021 World Taekwondo Championships, local media reported on May 28.
The new venue is located at Hall B6 of the Wuxi Taihu International Expo Center in Wuxi Economic Development Zone.
The 3,000-square-meter venue is covered with top dedicated floor for sports venues. It includes the only multicolored stand in China, as well as concert-level audio-visual equipment.
