2024 Shanghai Book Fair

2024 Shanghai Book Fair

The 2024 edition of the Shanghai Book Fair, one of the most important yearly book fairs in Mainland China, organized since 2004, is being held from 14 to 20 August in the heart of Shanghai, hosted again this year at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the venue of numerous prestigious international and non-international fairs, located directly in front of CPO Shanghai offices.

Offering a vast selection of foreign language books, among the almost 30,000 titles on display, the Fair promotes the interaction between different cultures and languages, presenting itself as a point of reference for anyone who wants, through reading, to begin learning about China or deepen specific interests. Another reason for attraction, perhaps not known to everyone, is the cost of books in China, extremely low, with university texts that for example cost 5-10 euros per book for new editions just printed. For those who happen to be in Shanghai during this period and love reading, visiting the Fair is highly recommended.
