Trade Days: 25 April – 26 April.
Public Days: 27 April – 02 May.

How to go: don’t use car or bus, the traffic jam will make you completely mad. Use the subway, line 15, straight from Beijing city center. Stop name: China International Exhibition Center.

At almost the same time, from April 23 until April 27, there is also a large auto components and parts exhibition in Beijing. It is part of Auto China 2012/Beijing Auto Show 2012 but at a very different location, namely at the old China International Exhibition Center at the 3th Ring Road. [map]
