ReadPlan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport
Main international gateway. The maglev covers PVG to Longyang Road in about 8 minutes, from where metro Line 7 runs one stop to Huamu Road for the venue or you can walk in 15-20 minutes. Taxis use the official rank on the arrivals level - avoid unofficial drivers in the terminal
Approx. 30 km / 19 mi to the Pudong expo district
to venue
35-50 min by road in normal traffic
by car
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
Second Shanghai gateway, handy for domestic and regional connections. Metro Line 2 runs from the airport to Longyang Road without a transfer in roughly 50 minutes, which is often faster than a taxi in rush hour
Approx. 40 km / 25 mi to the Pudong expo district
to venue
50-70 min by road, longer in the July afternoon peak
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Longyang Road and Huamu Road cluster - international 4-star
Best base for a three-day sourcing trip: you can drop samples at the hotel between hall visits. Expect fair-week uplifts - book 2-3 months out and confirm whether breakfast and taxes are included.
Lujiazui and Century Park - 5-star
Full-service stock with better restaurants and gyms, 15-25 minutes by taxi or metro Line 2 to the venue. Suitable if you are hosting supplier dinners after the show.
Puxi downtown (People's Square, Jing'an) - 3 to 4-star
Cheaper per night than the venue cluster and better for evening dining, but budget 35-50 minutes door to door on metro Line 2 to Longyang Road. Factor the commute into early meetings.
Longyang Road metro corridor - limited-service and budget
Practical for cost-controlled trips. Rooms are smaller and English at the front desk is less consistent - confirm that the hotel accepts foreign passports at check-in.
Hongqiao airport area (SHA) - 4-star
Useful for a last night before an early domestic flight, but 50-70 minutes from the venue by road, so it does not work well as a base during show days.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
metro
The closest metro option to the Pudong expo district. Buy a single ticket at the machine or tap a linked Alipay or WeChat Pay transport code at the gate.
metro
Line 2 is the direct link from Hongqiao Airport, Hongqiao railway station and downtown Puxi, which makes it the default route for most hotel-to-venue trips.
maglev
About 8 minutes for the airport run, then 10-20 minutes to the venue. The fastest combination for buyers landing on the morning of the first show day.
taxi
Roughly 30 km, so 35-50 minutes in normal traffic and considerably longer in the July afternoon peak. Use the official rank inside the terminal and keep the printed receipt.
taxi
About 40 km across the city. In rush hour metro Line 2 is usually quicker and far cheaper for this leg.
ride-hail
Ride-hailing is widely used in Shanghai and both DiDi and Amap have English interfaces. Use the designated pickup points outside the halls rather than hailing on the ring road.
parking
Parking fills early on the opening morning of a large show. Arrive before 08:30 or use metro Line 7 to avoid the queue at the car park entrance.
Weather
July is Shanghai's hottest and wettest month. Expect daytime highs around 34 C (93 F), overnight lows near 26 C (79 F), high humidity and frequent short, heavy downpours, with the June-October typhoon season as a background risk. Halls are strongly air-conditioned, so a light layer helps during long meeting days, and the walk between metro exits and hall gates is exposed - carry a compact umbrella, sunscreen and a refillable bottle.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Venue and hotel WiFi is normally available but can be slow in crowded halls, so a local data eSIM or a China Mobile or China Unicom SIM bought on arrival is the practical backup. Some overseas apps and services are restricted on mainland networks: set up your email, messaging and payment tools before you fly, and check the legal position on any VPN you intend to use. WeChat is the default business messaging channel in China - install it and exchange QR codes with suppliers at the booth.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business cards and introductions
Offer and receive business cards with both hands and take a moment to read the card before putting it away. Chinese suppliers often list WeChat rather than email as the primary contact, so scan the QR code on the card at the booth.
Working language
Mandarin is the working language on most stands. Larger exporters usually have at least one English-speaking salesperson, but technical, packaging and compliance discussions go faster with a bilingual colleague or a translation app with the offline Chinese pack installed.
Payments on the ground
Alipay and WeChat Pay are used for everything from metro tickets to restaurant bills, and foreign cards can be linked inside both apps. Keep a small amount of RMB cash for taxis or small sample purchases where a QR code is not accepted.
Dining and toasting
Business dinners are a normal part of supplier relationships in Shanghai. If your host proposes a toast, joining is expected; if you do not drink alcohol, say so early and politely rather than at the table. Tipping is not customary in restaurants or taxis.
Punctuality and follow-up
Arrive on time for factory and booth meetings and allow extra travel time in July heat and rain. Follow up within 48 hours of a meeting, in writing, with the SKU, MOQ and Incoterm you discussed - a WeChat message plus an emailed quotation is the usual pattern.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: PVG
Book into Pudong (PVG) for the shortest transfer to the Pudong expo district, and compare Hongqiao (SHA) only if the fare difference is material or you are connecting from another Chinese city. Late July is peak summer travel in China, so book six to ten weeks out, allow one clear day before the opening for badge collection and supplier meetings, and check whether your ticket includes a checked bag for samples on the return leg.
Most foreign business visitors need a Chinese visa before travel; the M (business) visa is the standard category for trade-fair attendance. Apply through the Chinese embassy or consulate covering your residence, and check current visa-free transit rules for your nationality before booking.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Carry an invitation letter from the fair organiser if your visa category requires one. Rules differ by nationality, so verify on the Chinese consular visa portal.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG): 35-50 min by road in normal traffic; Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA): 50-70 min by road, longer in the July afternoon peak. Allow road or rail time to Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC): Pudong, walkable or one metro stop to the venue: Longyang Road and Huamu Road cluster - international 4-star; Pudong riverside and Century Park: Lujiazui and Century Park - 5-star; Puxi city center: Puxi downtown (People's Square, Jing'an) - 3 to 4-star.
Ride-hail: DiDi and Amap both work in Shanghai and offer English interfaces and in-app payment with a linked foreign card. Set the pickup point to a named hotel or hall entrance rather than a road, since the expo district has multiple gates. Expect surge pricing after the halls close and around 18:00; a metro ride on Line 7 or Line 2 is usually faster at that hour.
Public transit: The venue sits between metro Line 7 (Huamu Road) and Line 2 (Longyang Road), and single metro journeys run roughly CNY 3-7 depending on distance. Line 2 links Hongqiao Airport, Hongqiao railway station and downtown Puxi directly to Longyang Road, while the maglev from Pudong Airport connects to the same interchange in about 8 minutes. Buy single tickets at the machines or tap a transport QR code in Alipay or WeChat.
Parking: The expo centre has on-site car parks, with a daily tariff in the approximate CNY 60-80 band - confirm the current rate at the gate. Spaces fill early on the opening morning of a large show, so arrive before 08:30 or use metro Line 7. Taxis and ride-hail vehicles use designated drop-off zones rather than the car park itself.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: July 2027
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 30-34 C (86-93 F) with overnight lows around 26 C (79 F); humidity stays high through the day and the heat index often feels above the air temperature.
Seasonality: July is one of Shanghai's wettest months, with short intense downpours and the June-October typhoon season as a background risk. Check the forecast each morning and keep a compact umbrella in your bag for the walk between halls and metro exits.
Packing: Lightweight breathable business-casual clothing, a packable rain jacket or umbrella, comfortable walking shoes for the hall floors, sunscreen and a refillable bottle. Add a light layer for heavily air-conditioned halls and meeting rooms, and carry your passport for venue security checks.
