The Chongqing Grand Theatre (or Theater) is a performing arts venue in central Chongqing, People's Republic of China, located overlooking the Yangtze River.[1] The 64-metre six-storey building was constructed from 2005 until 2009. Hassell, a design company, took part in a competition to decide how the building was constructed and laid out.[2] The building contains two concert halls.[citation needed]
