This year's Changchun International Automobile Expo is opening, on July 10, in the city of Changchun, capital of Jilin province, and the local Jilin Daily has offered several tips for visitors to make their experience a pleasant one.

First of all, wear some sneakers or comfortable flatties because it has large exhibition halls, meaning a lot of walking. To get there, the best way is light rail so there is no worry about getting caught in traffic. Those who still want to drive there can park their car at the Beihai Road lot near the expo, but finding a space might be a problem. And keep a close eye on your camera, cell-phone and wallet. This year's expo has nine areas and visitor can download a tour guide and map from the expo Wechat site.

This the 12th consecutive year for the expo so it offers a wide variety of activities just waiting for you.
