Plan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport
PVG is Shanghai's primary international gateway and the most common arrival point for long-haul ACE visitors. Options to the Expo district include taxi or ride-hail, the Maglev to Longyang Road followed by metro or taxi, and metro with a change. Allow buffer time around rush hour and on the first show morning.
Approx. 45 km by road
to venue
Approx. 45-60 min by car or taxi, longer in peak traffic

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
SHA is the closer of Shanghai's two airports to the Expo district and handles many domestic and regional flights. If fares and schedules suit, it offers a shorter transfer to the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Confirm live conditions on arrival.
Approx. 20 km by road
to venue
Approx. 30-45 min by car or taxi
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

USD 95–150 / night
Four-star options such as Atour Hotel Shanghai Expo Center and Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Pudong South Road; some are walkable, others a short taxi or metro trip. Book early for show week.
USD 180–300 / night
Expo Hotel and comparable full-service properties with indoor pool, airport shuttle and high guest ratings; walking distance to the halls. Limited availability during the show — confirm before travel.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
metro
Often the fastest and cheapest option in peak traffic. Pay with a transit card, the Shanghai Metro app, or the Alipay/WeChat transport mini-programs. Confirm the closest station and exit on a current metro map before travel; allow extra time at rush hour.
taxi
Roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Use the official taxi rank or a designated ride-hail pick-up zone at the airport; confirm metered or app fare before travel.
taxi
SHA is the closer of Shanghai's two airports to the Expo district; typical road transfer is around 30–45 minutes. Confirm live traffic conditions on arrival.
ride-hail
DiDi is the main ride-hail app and is also available through Alipay and WeChat mini-programs. Confirm the venue pick-up and drop-off zone on arrival before travel.
train
The Maglev links Pudong Airport to Longyang Road metro station quickly, after which you continue by metro or taxi. Less convenient with heavy luggage or large trade-fair materials.
Weather
Mid-October in Shanghai is typically mild and pleasant, with daytime highs around 20-25 C (68-77 F) and cooler evenings near 15-18 C (59-64 F). October is one of the drier months, but brief showers and overcast days are still possible, and autumn can bring the remnants of late typhoons. Pack light layers, a compact umbrella, a light water-resistant jacket and comfortable walking shoes for the fairground.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Shanghai has extensive 4G/5G mobile coverage. Options for business visitors include an international roaming plan from your home carrier, a travel eSIM, or a local SIM/eSIM from China Mobile, China Unicom or China Telecom (registration with a passport is usually required for a local SIM). Note that some international apps and services are restricted in mainland China, and a VPN may be needed for work tools; arrange and test this before departure, as roaming data from some foreign carriers behaves differently. The venue and most Expo-district hotels provide Wi-Fi; treat public networks as unsecured for sensitive business data and use your phone's hotspot or a VPN. Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with a linked international card before arrival, as cashless payment is the norm.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Currency and payment
China's currency is the Chinese Yuan (CNY / RMB). Cashless payment via Alipay and WeChat Pay is widely used in Shanghai, including by foreign visitors who link an international card; exchange or withdraw some yuan on arrival and keep a card as backup.
Registration and access
Visitor registration for AgroChemEx (ACE) is handled through the organiser's online system on aceshow.com; complete it before travelling and carry your confirmation or QR code for badge collection at the venue.
Venue district
The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center sits in the former Expo 2010 area of Pudong, served by metro, taxi and ride-hail. Build buffer time into your first-day arrival for security screening and badge collection.
Language
Mandarin Chinese is the main language; English is limited outside tourist and international business settings. Have your hotel name and key addresses saved in Chinese characters for taxi drivers, and confirm important details in writing.
Tipping and etiquette
Tipping is not customary in Shanghai. Handshakes and business cards are common in meetings, and building a working relationship before pricing discussions is normal practice at Chinese trade fairs.
Getting around
The Shanghai Metro is efficient and inexpensive, and ride-hail via DiDi is widely used. Keep a screenshot of your destination address and your venue badge ready for transport and gate checks.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: PVG
Book flights to Shanghai Pudong (PVG) for the easiest transfer to the Expo district, and compare Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) only if fares or schedules are materially better; SHA is closer to the venue by road. The show runs 14-16 October 2026, after China's National Day holiday week in early October, so inbound demand usually eases in mid-October, but fares for the show week still tend to rise closer to the date, making several weeks of lead time advisable. Match arrival to hotel check-in and build a buffer before your first meeting day, and check baggage allowances and any transit-visa requirements if your itinerary connects through another country.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG): Approx. 45-60 min by car or taxi, longer in peak traffic; Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA): Approx. 30-45 min by car or taxi. Allow road or rail time to Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center: Expo Park / Pudong South Road, within approx. 2–2.5 km of the venue: Expo Park / Pudong South Road, within approx. 2–2.5 km of the venue; Expo district / Pudong South Road, approx. 0.7–2.2 km from the venue: Expo district / Pudong South Road, approx. 0.7–2.2 km from the venue; Immediately at the Expo district, approx. 260 m from the venue: Immediately at the Expo district, approx. 260 m from the venue.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing works well in Shanghai and is widely used by business travellers. DiDi is the dominant local app and can be accessed through the DiDi app or via the Alipay and WeChat mini-programs, which support international cards. Enter your destination in Chinese characters where possible, and note the designated pick-up zone at large venues such as the Expo fairground, as well as at PVG and SHA airports. Confirm app, payment and pick-up details before travel.
Public transit: Shanghai's metro is fast, inexpensive and a practical way to reach the Expo district; single journeys typically cost about CNY 3-7 (approx.; confirm live fares) and can be paid with the Shanghai Metro app, a transit card, or the Alipay/WeChat transport mini-programs. Metro Line 8 (China Art Museum station) is the stop most often cited for the former Expo area - confirm the closest station and exit to the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center on a current metro map before you travel, as names and walking routes can be confusing. Avoid the peak windows (roughly 07:30-09:30 and 17:00-19:00) where possible.
Parking: The Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center has on-site parking, with additional parking in the surrounding Expo district. During a major agrochemical fair, spaces fill quickly, so arrive early or plan to use the metro, taxi or ride-hail instead. Parking rates, entry gates and any exhibitor parking passes were not captured for ACE 2026; confirm current daily rates and hall access on the venue or organiser site before you travel.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Temperature: Mid-October in Shanghai is typically mild, with daytime highs commonly around 20-25 C (68-77 F) and cooler evenings near 15-18 C (59-64 F). Check the forecast closer to travel, as late-October cold fronts can arrive.
Seasonality: October is one of the drier months in Shanghai, but brief showers and occasional overcast days are still possible, and autumn can bring the remnants of late typhoons. Carry a compact umbrella and a light water-resistant layer for the walk between halls and transport.
Packing: Pack light, layerable clothing for mild days and cooler evenings, a smart-casual outfit for business meetings, comfortable walking shoes for long days on the fairground floor, a compact umbrella for possible showers, and your own business cards. Bring a universal power adapter (China uses type A/I sockets at 220 V), a portable charger for a full show day, and any prescription medicines in their original packaging. Keep hotel names and key addresses saved in Chinese characters for taxi drivers.
