The third-floor gym also boasts a fantastic view of ALSO Space and Midea Group HQ, which visitors can enjoy while using the running machines or rowing machines.

The sprawling HQ Innovation Center is also home to the top-class Kangti Sports Center.

Whatever someone’s sporting interests, the chances are that they can find it at the Kangti Sports Center as there are also 3 basketball courts where hotly-contested pick-up games can be found most evenings as well as tennis courts that are particularly popular in the cooler months.
