National Exhibition and Convention Center, Convention center in Qingpu, Shanghai, China
The National Exhibition and Convention Center is a large convention center in Qingpu, Shanghai, China. Its design features four exhibition halls arranged like a four-leaf clover around a central plaza, with two office buildings and a hotel nearby.
The National Exhibition and Convention Center opened in 2015 as part of a plan to expand Shanghai's exhibition capacity. It has since hosted major events, including concerts and international tours, becoming a key venue in the city.
The four-leaf clover shape of the building has become a recognizable symbol of modern Shanghai, often seen in photos and promotional materials. Visitors can walk around the central plaza, which serves as a gathering space during large events and exhibitions.
The venue is easy to reach from the city via Metro Line 2, with East Xujing station being the closest stop. Once there, follow signs to the different halls and the central plaza, and allow extra time on event days when crowds are larger.
The building's four-leaf clover layout is not just for show: it helps organize the flow of visitors between the halls and the central plaza. The plaza itself is a popular spot for photos, especially when the building is lit up at night.
