国家会展中心（上海）

The National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) stands at 168 Yinggang East Road, Xujing Town, Qingpu District, in the western core of the Hongqiao business district, and serves as the exhibition gateway to the Yangtze River Delta. Jointly decided by the Ministry of Commerce and the Shanghai Municipal Government in 2011, with investment of about RMB 16 billion, it is built and operated by NECC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., is the permanent home of the China International Import Expo, and is the anchor of Shanghai's ambition to become an international exhibition city. Completed on 31 December 2014 and opened in 2015, it was among the largest exhibition complexes in the world when built, and became the first large Chinese exhibition venue to earn triple-star green-building certification for both design and operation. The complex covers 860,000 square metres of land with 1.47 million square metres of floor area and 17 halls: fifteen halls of 30,000 square metres each plus two multifunctional halls of 10,000 square metres, giving nearly 500,000 square metres indoors, 100,000 square metres of outdoor space and close to 600,000 square metres in total. Three single-storey pillar-free halls reach 34 metres in clear height with a 108-metre roof span, and four northern ground-floor halls carry five tonnes per square metre. The architecture is a four-leaf clover, its leaves converging on a 10,000-square-metre central plaza, with the 8,000-seat Hong Hall in the east wing. The site is 1.5 kilometres from Hongqiao transport hub, linked by skywalks, underpasses and Metro Lines 2 and 17 to Hongqiao railway station and airport, with expressways reaching major Delta cities in one to two hours.
