The Pingding County Cultural Center project recently broke ground in Pingding county in Yangquan city, North China's Shanxi province. 

The construction site for the cultural center is located at the intersection of the north entrance of Pingmei West Street and Pingding West Outer Ring Road. 

The project's planned area is 95,000 square meters, including an above-ground building area of 31,000 sq m and a green area of 34,000 sq m.  It has a total investment of 350 million yuan ($53.93 million). 

Once completed, the facility will include a cultural center, a library, a museum, an archive, a theater, an 11,000-sq-m cultural square and cultural and creative, entertainment-related business venues. It will become a cultural landmark of eastern Shanxi with regional influence. 

It will be developed into a comprehensive county-level cultural center that integrates culture and tourism, integrates public services and cultural consumption, and promotes the mutual integration of traditional culture and network culture.
