ReadPlan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport
Primary international gateway and the closest airport to SNIEC. Maglev reaches Longyang Road in roughly 8 minutes (approx. CNY 50), from where Halls N1-N5 are one metro stop or a 5-10 minute taxi ride. Metered taxis to the fairground run roughly CNY 160-200
Approx. 30 km
to venue
35-55 minutes by road; about 8 minutes by Maglev to Longyang Road plus a short onward hop
by car
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
On the western side of the city and integrated with Hongqiao railway station, which helps if you arrive by high-speed rail from Jiangsu or Zhejiang. Metro Line 2 runs directly to Longyang Road without a change
Approx. 30-35 km
to venue
45-70 minutes by road; 60-75 minutes on Metro Line 2 direct to Longyang Road
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Walkable to Halls N1-N5 or one metro stop from Longyang Road. Convenient for exhibitors with early installation slots.
Central Pudong base with the widest choice of meeting rooms and international dining; 15-25 minutes to the venue by metro or taxi.
Quieter district popular with engineering and manufacturing teams; taxi to SNIEC is typically 15-25 minutes.
Short-stay budget option; book early because inventory near the venue tightens during large shows.
Better for itineraries that include factory visits in Jiangsu or Zhejiang; allow 50-70 minutes to the fairground.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
maglev
Roughly 8 minutes with a top speed near 300 km/h; from Longyang Road take Metro Line 2/7/16/18 one stop or a 5-10 minute taxi to SNIEC.
metro
Cheapest option at roughly 50-65 minutes including the walk to the platform; trains run from about 05:30 to 22:30.
metro
Direct Line 2 service with no change, about 60-75 minutes; a good choice if you arrive outside the morning peak.
taxi
About 30 km and 35-55 minutes depending on traffic on the inner ring and Luoshan Road; queue at the official taxi rank rather than accepting unlicensed offers.
taxi
About 30-35 km across the city; allow 45-70 minutes, longer on Monday mornings and during rain.
ride-hail
DiDi works in English and through Alipay and WeChat mini programs; follow the app signage at the airport and at the SNIEC pick-up zone.
metro
Huamu Road on Line 7 is the closest station to the south side of the fairground; Longyang Road serves the north halls and the Maglev.
parking
Car parks fill before 09:00 on the first show morning; combine with a hotel shuttle or metro where possible.
Weather
Mid-July in Shanghai is hot, humid and wet: daytime highs usually sit around 31-33°C, overnight lows near 26°C, humidity often 75-85% and roughly 14 rain days across the month, some of them heavy afternoon thunderstorms. July also opens the East China typhoon window (July to September), so a typhoon warning can disrupt flights and road traffic at short notice. Allow buffer time for wet-weather taxi queues and keep indoor transfer routes between Halls N1-N5 in mind.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Shanghai has dense 4G and 5G coverage from China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, and SNIEC halls, press rooms and business centres offer Wi-Fi. Foreign SIMs roam onto local networks but still route through the Great Firewall, so Google services, WhatsApp, Instagram and LinkedIn are normally unreachable without a VPN installed before departure. International eSIM plans work but data passes through the same restrictions. Alipay and WeChat Pay accept many foreign cards and are the practical way to pay for metro, taxi and meals. Power is 220V at 50Hz with type A, C and I sockets, so bring a universal adapter for laptop and machine-tool chargers.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business cards and introductions
Exchange cards with both hands and take a moment to read the card before pocketing it. At die casting supplier meetings, the senior person on the Chinese side usually leads the introduction, and printed English plus simplified Chinese cards are the norm.
Language and negotiation style
Technical discussions often move between Mandarin and English, so a bilingual engineer or interpreter is worth arranging for machine specification and price negotiations. Expect relationship-building conversation before commercial terms, and treat stated prices as opening positions subject to volume and payment terms.
Payments and tipping
Mobile payment through Alipay or WeChat Pay dominates, including at the venue. Tipping is not customary in Shanghai taxis or restaurants; round up if you wish. Keep a small cash reserve for taxi ranks where card readers fail.
Dining and hospitality
Business banquets are common around trade fairs, with dishes served shared in the centre of the table. Wait for the host to begin, and let the host order and pour; reciprocating with a return dinner later in the week is appreciated but not compulsory.
Venue and queuing etiquette
Security screening at SNIEC is strict on arrival, with passport checks at badge collection. Queuing is orderly at the metro and taxi ranks; pushing ahead is poorly received. Halls are heavily air-conditioned, so a light jacket is useful even in July.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: PVG
Book 8-12 weeks ahead for mid-July travel, since Shanghai is a peak summer destination and fares into PVG climb through June and July. PVG is the shorter transfer to SNIEC; SHA is worth comparing when fares are materially lower or when your itinerary continues to factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang via Hongqiao railway station. Direct capacity from Europe is limited, so Gulf, Turkish or Asian hub connections often price better. Confirm the visa route before ticketing, allow at least one buffer day before the show, and check typhoon-related airline change policies for July travel.
Most foreign business visitors need a Chinese M (business) visa arranged before travel, applied for through the Chinese embassy/consulate or a Chinese Visa Application Service Center.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Check the VISIT CHINA portal and your local Chinese embassy for current M visa document lists; requirements vary by nationality.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG): 35-55 minutes by road; about 8 minutes by Maglev to Longyang Road plus a short onward hop; Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA): 45-70 minutes by road; 60-75 minutes on Metro Line 2 direct to Longyang Road. 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): Longyang Road / SNIEC, Pudong: Longyang Road / SNIEC, Pudong; Lujiazui / Century Avenue, Pudong: Lujiazui / Century Avenue, Pudong; Zhangjiang / Jinqiao, Pudong: Zhangjiang / Jinqiao, Pudong.
Ride-hail: DiDi is the dominant ride-hailing service in Shanghai and offers an English interface, and it can also be accessed through Alipay and WeChat mini programs. Foreign cards can be linked to Alipay or WeChat Pay for DiDi trips, but some issuing banks fail the verification, so keep a CNY cash reserve and a taxi fallback. At Pudong airport, follow the app signage to the designated pick-up level rather than the public taxi rank. At SNIEC, use the marked ride-hail pick-up zone; walking to the main road with a booked car is often faster after the halls close.
Public transit: Shanghai's metro is the fastest low-cost option to SNIEC. Longyang Road station is served by Lines 2, 7, 16 and 18 and is a 5-10 minute walk from Halls N1-N5; Huamu Road on Line 7 is closest to the south entrance. Metro Line 2 links both Pudong airport and Hongqiao airport and railway station directly to Longyang Road, with journey times of roughly 50-65 minutes from PVG and 60-75 minutes from SHA. Single fares are about CNY 3-9 depending on distance, payable by Alipay, WeChat Pay or a transport card. The Maglev connects PVG to Longyang Road in about 8 minutes. Trains generally run from around 05:30 to 22:30, so plan late supplier dinners around the last service.
Parking: SNIEC operates on-site car parks around the hall complex, with hourly charging and a daily cap. Rates are set by the venue and are not published in the event listing, so confirm the current tariff at the gate. The car parks fill before 09:00 on the opening morning; exhibitors with heavy equipment should book vehicle access passes and unloading slots through the organiser well in advance, since private cars are not permitted on the loading apron during move-in.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: July 2027
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 31-33°C, overnight lows near 26°C, with high humidity
Seasonality: July is one of Shanghai's wetter, more humid months with roughly 14 rain days, often short heavy afternoon thunderstorms, and the start of the East China typhoon season
Packing: Pack light breathable shirts and trousers, a compact umbrella or packable rain shell for sudden downpours, and a light layer for heavily air-conditioned halls and taxis. Comfortable closed shoes matter for walking between Halls N1-N5. Bring a universal power adapter for 220V type A/C/I sockets, a power bank for long show days, and photocopies of your passport in case you need to re-register at the venue.
