Suzhou Jinji Lake Concert Hall (SJLCH), with a floor area of about 7,200 sqm, came into operation on Sept 30.

The SJLCH project was launched in April 2016, with its overall architectural design undertaken by Shanghai Tongji Architectural Design Institute and acoustic design by Yasuhisa Toyota, a Japanese acoustician who serves as the project's chief acoustician.

The overall architectural design meets international norms. It integrates both musical and local cultural elements, such as the flowing nature of music, the Suzhou-style architectural design and the characteristics of Suzhou silk.

It is constructed with well-selected and tailored materials to guarantee the best acoustic effect. For the purpose, its structure consists of independent rooms and double-layer walls to ensure good noise insulation.
