The Beijing Exhibition Center was built in the same time as 798, but the design was much different.

With its timeline starting back in 1954, Beijing Exhibition Center (BEC) comes as the first-ever massive comprehensive exhibition venue in Beijing. It features, among others, the genuine inscriptions of late Chairman Mao Zedong and was once honored by the presence of late Premier Zhou Enlai at its ribbon-cutting ceremony.
