Word origin

场馆 (chǎngguǎn, "venue") is formed from 场 (chǎng, "place for an activity") and 馆 (guǎn, "hall or facility"), so the compound points to a designated place for activities.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Chinese, adding the activity type makes the reference more precise because different facilities are named for sports, exhibitions, performances, or other uses.
