The media center of this year's G20 Summit has opened its doors, welcoming at least five-thousand journalists from different parts of the globe. With the start of the two-day Sherpa Meeting and with a number of press conferences on Thursday, it's safe to say that Hangzhou city is officially running on G20 time.

This is the Media Center for the G20 summit. For the coming few days, it will be a base for about 5,000 journalists -- 2,000 of them are from overseas.

It's on the first floor of the Hangzhou International Expo Center, the main venue for the summit.

It covers an area of about 10,000 square meters -- larger than a football field! -- making it one of the biggest media centers in the world.

It has 15-hundred work spaces, with 750 terminals which are all networked to printers and the Internet. There's also a high speed WiFi service available.

There're seven press conference rooms, of varying sizes. The largest is for the most important questions and answers.

This is a global meeting, so the media centre stays open 24 hours a day from Sept. 3rd to 6th, including an information counter, and numerous free buffet and refreshment stations.

There's also an area set aside for meditation, and a prayer room for those with special religious beliefs.

The media center also provides free shuttle bus services between recommended media hotels and the center.

So this is Xia Ruixue from the Media Center at the Hangzhou International Expo Center.
