Established in 1895, the Venice Architecture Biennale is recognized as one of the world's most prestigious and influential platforms for contemporary art and architecture. Its core program consists of three major pillars: the International Exhibition, National Pavilions, and Collateral Events. Among these, the National Pavilions represent the largest and most significant segment of the Biennale, serving not only as concentrated showcases of each participating nation's cultural soft power but also as central platforms for global artistic dialogue.

Located within the historic Arsenale complex and adjacent to the Italian Pavilion, the Chinese Pavilion occupies a distinguished position. It features approximately 700 square meters of indoor exhibition space along with a 300-square-meter exclusive outdoor garden—the "Virgin Garden". It is the only national pavilion, apart from that of the host Italy, to possess a dedicated outdoor exhibition area. This distinctive spatial configuration offers greater flexibility and multidimensional possibilities for curatorial narrative and artistic expression.

Since China's inaugural national pavilion participation at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2005, the Chinese Pavilion has successfully presented twenty exhibitions, establishing a consistent and respected presence on the international stage in both the Architecture and Art biennales, which are held in alternate years.

Organized by the China Arts and Entertainment Group (CAEG), the Chinese Pavilion is dedicated to serving as a vital national window and international platform for Chinese contemporary art and architecture. Through this prestigious venue, we continually promote outstanding Chinese curators, architects, and artists, enabling them to engage actively in global artistic and academic discourse, thereby enhancing the international visibility and influence of Chinese culture.

In 2021, to broaden the domestic impact of the Chinese Pavilion's participation, CAEG innovatively curated a "Homecoming Exhibition" at the Taoxichuan Art Museum in Jingdezhen, allowing audiences in China to experience the appeal of world-class architectural artistry firsthand. This initiative successfully bridged the international exhibition with a local cultural context, further extending the reach and resonance of the Biennale's dialogue.
