4. Practical Travel Tips for International Visitors
How to Get There
The expo is held at the Futian Convention Center (not the New Bao'an center). It is centrally located and easily accessible:
Metro: Take Line 1 or Line 4 to the "Convention & Exhibition Center" station.
From Hong Kong: Take the High-Speed Rail from West Kowloon to Futian Station (only 15 minutes), then it's a short taxi ride.
Where to Stay
We recommend booking a hotel in the Futian District to stay within walking distance of the venue. Popular options include the Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, or more budget-friendly business hotels nearby.
Visa Information
Ensure you apply for a Business Visa (M) well in advance. If you are flying into Hong Kong, check if you qualify for the 144-hour visa-free transit policy for the Guangdong area.
