Q: Will there be traffic restrictions during the 9th China International Import Expo?

A: Traffic restrictions in certain areas and on specific roads will be put in place during the 9th CIIE, as was the case last year. However, the area requiring special permits for entry near the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) will be smaller than in 2025. For detailed information, please refer to the announcements released by the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Q: If I'm driving myself, where can I park?

A: Due to the large crowds expected at the CIIE, attendees are encouraged to use public transportation. For those who must drive, limited temporary parking lots are available around the NECC and can be reserved in advance. Additionally, parking lots in the core area of the  Hongqiao International Central Business District will be shared for use. For the latest information on parking availability and reservation procedures, please check the "Shanghai Parking (上海停车)" app and its official WeChat/Alipay mini-programs, as well as the "Suishenxing (随申行)" app and the "Shanghai Transportation (上海交通)" WeChat official account.

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

A: During the CIIE, for temporary parking lots located farther from the NECC, shuttle buses are available to the P5 parking lot, allowing for quick access to the exhibition halls via the second-floor walkway on the east side of the NECC. For parking lots near the NECC, you can walk to the exhibition halls. You can select a parking lot based on your destination. For example, the P15 parking lot on the north side of the NECC is recommended for visitors going to Halls 2 and 3; the P7 parking lot on the east side is recommended for visitors to Halls 1 and 8; the P4 parking lot on the south side is recommended for visitors to Halls 6 and 7; and the P3 and P18 parking lots on the west side are recommended for visitors to Halls 4 and 5.

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: For attendees' convenience of reservation, parking spaces outside the restricted area can be reserved online one hour in advance. However, to secure a parking spot, it is recommended that you make your reservation at least one day in advance.

Q: If I'm taking a taxi or ride-hailing vehicle, where can I be dropped off?

A: During the CIIE, the P0, P1, P6 (before noon daily), P8, and P15 parking lots near the NECC have been designated as drop-off points for taxis and ride-hailing vehicles to "stop and go".

Q: If I need to take a taxi to leave, where can I find one?

A: During the CIIE, 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. You can go there and line up to take a taxi.

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

A: During the CIIE, 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.
