SHANGHAI, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from english.shanghai.gov.cn

The 9th China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai from Nov 5 to 10. Here are 10 transportation FAQs to help you plan your trip.

Q: Will there be traffic restrictions?

Q: With so many parking lots, which one should I choose?

A: Shuttle buses connect temporary parking lots farther from the NECC with the P5 parking lot near the venue. Visitors parking at lots closer to the NECC can walk to the exhibition halls.

Q: I won't have my license plate number until right before the CIIE. Will I be able to reserve a parking spot by that time?

A: From 1 pm to 8 pm daily, a sufficient number of taxis will be available at the P6 parking lot on the east side of the NECC.

Q: If I need to take a ride-hailing vehicle to leave, where can I be picked up?

A: Ride-hailing passengers may be picked up at the P0 or P1 parking lot after 3 pm each day. After 7 pm, passengers may be picked up at convenient locations surrounding the NECC.

Q: If I'm taking public transportation to the NECC, what are my options?

A: Metro Lines 2 and 17 run directly to the NECC Station. You can transfer to them from other metro lines. Bus No 71 will be extended to the P5 parking lot near the NECC.

Q: If I'm taking public transportation to leave the NECC, what are my options?

A: You can take Metro Line 2 or 17 to leave the NECC. You can also go to the P5 parking lot and take the extended Bus No 71 or a metro shuttle bus.
