The China House at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics showcases China's traditional culture and technological development, offering international visitors an interactive journey through the country’s sporting and cultural heritage.

Operated by the Chinese Olympic Committee, it is housed in Milan's Villa Clerici, a historic 18th-century villa built for a wealthy silk merchant.

From exhibitions showcasing China's sporting history to demonstrations of traditional crafts and cutting-edge technology, visitors are taken on a journey from past to present.

The exhibition space has drawn enthusiastic reactions from international visitors, many of whom said they were impressed by the rich cultural displays and interactive experiences on offer.

"It's an amazing place, [with] a lot of history of China. You can try different sports and there are a lot of things to do. It's really a great experience here," said one visitor.

"Beautiful, beautiful," said another visitor, clearly captivated by the displays.

"I think it's incredible. I saw a lot of things that are very interesting, and I discovered a lot of things about their culture," another visitor said.

Also on show are key sponsors of the Games and their brands, from clothing and footwear to beauty and cosmetics.

Serving as a hub for the Chinese Olympic Committee during the Games, the China House is an important meeting space for athletes, officials, and international delegations throughout the competition.

The Milan-Cortina Olympic Winter Games opened on Feb 6 with an unprecedented ceremony staged in two cities -- Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo -- featuring the theme "Armonia," or harmony in English. The Games will conclude on Feb 22.

About 2,900 athletes from around the world are competing for 116 gold medals across Italy's cities, valleys and peaks.
