Sources and verification
Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source Textiles & Fashion, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.
— Not necessarily
Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than Textiles & Fashion, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
It runs alongside Yarn Expo Spring, Intertextile Home Textiles Spring, CHIC and PH Value at the same venue, so one trip can cover the full textile supply chain for the first half of the year.
Registration & entry
Admission is free for professional visitors. Pre-register online on the official Messe Frankfurt website (intertextile-shanghai-apparel-fabrics-spring.hk.messefrankfurt.com) at least one day before your visit. Show the confirmation and a business card at the entrance to collect your badge.
The fair is strictly B2B: general public and visitors under 18 are not admitted.
Visa: Spain and Portugal currently benefit from China's visa-free policy for short stays — check the rules in force before booking.
How to get there
Metro Line 2, East Xujing (徐泾东) station, directly beside NECC. This is the most direct connection from central Shanghai and Hongqiao.
From Hongqiao Airport (SHA) and Hongqiao high-speed rail station: around 10–15 minutes by taxi or DiDi.
From Pudong Airport (PVG): allow more than one hour; Line 2 is the public-transport alternative.
Inside the venue: Intertextile Spring 2027 occupies seven halls across more than 190,000 m². Check the hall plan before arriving and identify the entrance closest to your fabric category.
Where to stay near the fair
The only option with direct second-floor access to the halls: ideal if you want zero transfers.
Spacious rooms and strong value for money; a favourite among repeat textile buyers visiting NECC.
Ideal for combining the fair with rail trips to other cities; only a few minutes from NECC.
A pleasant time to visit, with mild weather before the summer heat. Book several weeks ahead because CHIC, Yarn Expo and PH Value share the venue and dates. When booking on Trip.com, our code TLSX3O helps us keep this directory free.

Getting around
Shanghai has one of the world's largest metro networks. SNIEC is mainly served via Longyang Road/Huamu Road and NECC via East Xujing/National Exhibition and Convention Center, depending on the entrance. The Maglev links Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes; continue from there by metro or taxi.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
