Use the Shanghai Metro Line 8 to China Art Museum Station or Line 7 to Yaohua Road Station. Taxis/Didi are also reliable but factor in traffic; ask the driver for 'Shibo Zhanlanguan'.

Yes, the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center is a modern climate-controlled facility, though temperatures can rise quickly in the Roxzone during peak waves.

Major brands like GU or SIS are available at specialty running shops, but it is highly recommended to bring your own nutrition to avoid any GI issues with local alternatives.
