MEGA SHOW Hong Kong 2026 — Part 1

Oct 20 – 23, 2026 · Hong Kong

This edition has ended.

A large general-merchandise show for gifts and premiums, housewares and kitchen, Christmas and festive items, toys and baby products, stationery, travel goods and sporting goods. Popular with importers and retail chains doing final Q4 top-ups and next-season sourcing, and timed so buyers can combine it with the Canton Fair.

Buyer tips

Time it between Canton Fair Phases 1 and 2 — the ferry and high-speed rail link between Guangzhou and Hong Kong makes a combined trip easy.

Visiting Hong Kong for this fair

Practical notes for buyers flying in: entry rules, how to reach the venue, where to stay, how to pay, and what to do with the days after the fair. Checked October 14, 2026.

Entry and visas
Hong Kong runs its own immigration: nationals of about 170 countries and territories enter visa-free for 7 to 180 days depending on passport (Immigration Department list). Going on to Shenzhen or Guangzhou afterwards is a separate mainland entry. Use the 30-day visa-free exemption if your passport is on China's unilateral list (valid to December 31, 2026 at the time of checking), the 240-hour visa-free transit if you arrive from and leave for a third region, or apply for a visa at the China Visa Application Service Centre in Wan Chai, which usually takes four working days.
Getting to the venue
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Wan Chai): Airport Express to Hong Kong station (24 minutes), then a taxi or the MTR to Exhibition Centre station; allow about 45 minutes door to door. AsiaWorld-Expo: one Airport Express stop from the airport (about two minutes), so many buyers stay near the airport and ride in daily.
Where to stay
Wan Chai and Causeway Bay put you within walking distance of HKCEC; Tung Chung and the airport hotels suit AsiaWorld-Expo. Rates rise sharply in the April and October fair weeks, so book as soon as your badge is confirmed.
Paying in Hong Kong
Hong Kong dollars, with international cards accepted almost everywhere. Buy an Octopus card at the airport for the MTR, buses and small purchases. Mainland wallets are not needed in Hong Kong, but set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with a foreign card before you cross into Shenzhen.
After the fair
Most exhibitors manufacture across the border. From West Kowloon station, high-speed trains reach Futian (Shenzhen) in about 14 minutes and Guangzhou South in under an hour, so a factory day in Shenzhen or Dongguan fits between fair days. Clear mainland entry at West Kowloon before boarding.
