It aims to be a cultural and sports centre which also provides space for studying and competing in sports, creating a favourable environment for the development of Hà Nội's future generations.

Covering a total area of 40,000sq.m, the complex includes an 800-seat theatre, a 200-seat 3D-4D cinema, a 500-capacity stadium, a swimming pool and a library.
