Distinguish the exhibition centre and the correct gate
Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) gives its address as 2345 Longyang Road in Pudong. The National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), or NECC, is a different venue: its official contact guide lists separate south, north, east and west gate addresses. “Shanghai exhibition centre” is therefore not enough information for a transport booking.
Send the event name, venue’s full name, exhibition hall and organiser’s visitor entrance in the conference transport enquiry. Include the local-language address supplied by the organiser where available. Ask the operator to confirm a suitable passenger stop and return meeting point; freight access, car parking and visitor coach access are different arrangements. For SNIEC events, check the venue’s own visitor information alongside the event instructions.
State whether delegates bring display materials as well as personal luggage. If the programme continues to Suzhou or Hangzhou, list each overnight base and meeting address in the China transport enquiry.
Compare airport transfers with the complete rail connection
Shanghai’s government describes an Airport Link Line between Hongqiao Terminal 2 and Pudong Terminals 1 and 2, with onward rail connections. That is a useful alternative to assess, but its airport-to-airport travel time is not a hotel or exhibition transfer time and should not be used as a road-journey estimate.
For a privately booked group arrival, give the airport, terminal, luggage and final hotel or venue address. If delegates arrive by train at Hongqiao instead, specify the train and agreed station meeting point. A group combining several arrivals needs a written collection order and a lead passenger for each movement. Add the first fixed event time so the operator can assess the whole connection and any waiting, rather than pricing an airport movement in isolation.
Airport references for Shanghai
These airport references are ordered by their approximate straight-line distance from the Shanghai map reference. Road journeys can be longer and may involve different access arrangements; choose your actual arrival airport when requesting a quote.

Prepare your Shanghai journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) or Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Shanghai hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Check the complete route between stops: The geographic references put Hangzhou (about 161 km) and Nanjing (about 270 km) from Shanghai in a straight line. Use those destination guides to collect the actual entrances and required arrival times. Road distance, access and any non-road connection need checking against the complete itinerary, rather than these map measurements.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Your Shanghai transport questions
Is a Hongqiao railway pickup the same as an airport pickup?
No. State whether the booking is a flight or train, then provide the airport terminal or railway station and agreed exit. The operator needs the exact meeting point even when facilities are within the wider Hongqiao transport area.
What should an SNIEC group transfer request include?
Give Shanghai New International Expo Centre, the organiser’s hall and entrance, each hotel pickup and return time. List display materials separately so space and any unloading arrangements can be assessed.
How do SHA and PVG compare for a Shanghai transfer?
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) is about 12 km from the Shanghai map reference in a straight line; Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is about 34 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Shanghai?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at SHA and another at PVG, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Hangzhou?
Use Hangzhou as the actual destination rather than entering only Shanghai as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Hangzhou and Nanjing stops compare from Shanghai?
From the Shanghai geographic reference, Hangzhou is approximately 161.3 km away in a straight line and Nanjing is 270.3 km away. Hangzhou is listed in Zhejiang; Nanjing is listed in Jiangsu. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
Are SNIEC and NECC the same Shanghai venue?
No. SNIEC is on Longyang Road in Pudong; NECC is a separate exhibition complex with several gate addresses. Send the full venue name, hall and organiser’s entrance instructions before a route and quotation are prepared.
