Shanghai New International Expo Center, Convention center in Pudong, Shanghai, China
The Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) is a convention center in Pudong, Shanghai, China. It consists of 17 exhibition halls arranged around a central open area, with a wide glass facade and a gently curving roofline.
Construction began in 1999, and the center opened in 2001. It was designed by the American firm Murphy/Jahn Architects and has since become one of the busiest exhibition venues in the world.
The name of the center reflects its role as a meeting point for international exhibitions in Shanghai. Visitors will notice the large red "SHANGHAI" lettering on the facade, a common backdrop for photos.
The center is easy to reach by metro, with stations near the entrance halls. Once inside, allow extra time to move between halls, as the site is large and distances can be long.
The roof of each hall is made of a special membrane that lets in soft daylight while reducing heat. This feature is not obvious from the outside but helps keep the halls bright and comfortable.
