Premium Venue and Nighttime Competitions
After a sold-out success last year, The Shanghai International Equestrian Center is ready to show you what top-tier equestrian events are all about. Horses jumping through the air, the crowd gasping, and you thinking, "Wow, I'm glad I made this my new hobby."
Night Sessions: Horsepower After Dark
Who says horses don't make great nighttime companions? The night sessions on May 2 and 3 are back, and they're bringing the wow factor with them. It's like the Twilight of horse sports.
Don't miss the Global Champions League on the night of May 2 or the adrenaline-pumping Longines Grand Prix on May 4. Get ready to watch those horses jump 1.60 meters high. Only a few horses in the world can even clear this height, so get your cameras ready.

Shanghai's Horse Culture Meets City Buzz
It's not just about the horses – it's about the whole Shanghai experience. The Equestrian Culture Experience Week kicks off in late April, and it's going to turn the city into a festival of fun. Expect themed exhibits, interactive games, and an excuse to flex your "look where I am" skills with some landmark photo spots.
During the event, you'll be able to attend autograph sessions with the riders, enjoy a cultural forum, and even participate in a stamp collection event at Expo Cultural Park (because who doesn't love a good stamp?).
Oh, and don't forget to check out the immersive equestrian experiences inside the venue, where you can learn more about horses and their incredible skills – you might even be able to convince someone you're a horse whisperer by the end of the day.
Fans will be able to attend autograph sessions with the riders during the event.
Visitors can buy equestrian-themed items at the venue.
