Zhuhai 2018

In addition to the expo things, I think you should take the occasion to try the shuttle bus or coach to experience the just opened Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), provided your schedule allows and you have the multiple-entry visa to China for such border-crossing ride if plan to return to Zhuhai thereafter. If no special arrangement by the expo host, the shuttle bus ticket can be bought online, and the bus frequency is every 5-10 minutes during the busy hours, of course a tourist coach is more convenient. The bridge and the public transportation are operating around the clock, 24 hours, 7 days a week, nonstop. As for the private cars, only those with special permit are allowed to get through, and they are quite limited in number (for next 5 years, only 3,000 and 300 private cars will be granted such permit from HKSAR and mainland China respectively).
The Zhuhai Port for the HZMB has an excellent customs clearance system, implementing the high technology innovation with highly automated gates, taking just 30-35 seconds to process a passenger (I learned it from some footage but forgot where is its source link).

Link has many pics to give one some ideas.

Automatic passport clearance gates is not for passport holders of every nation, especially if you need a China immigration visa to enter China, better find out beforehand. Hong Kong IC holders are eligible to use the auto-gates.

To be eligible to use the auto-gate, the passport holder's home country must sign bilateral agreement to allow China to access the data of the passport holder, and the passport must have an electronic chip inside contained bio-data of passport holder, including photo and finger prints.

Thanks for the correction. But in that case, since most of the passenger load are done by those inlanders eligible for the automatic gates, then even for foreign passport holders, the custom clearance speed should not be of any issue.

The Zhuhai Port is designed to process as many as 153,300 passengers per day between Zhuhai and HKSAR, and 100,000 per day between Zhuhai and Macau SAR.

Hustle and bustle getting things set at Airshow Center
Updated: 2018-10-26

The 12th China Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition from Nov 6 to 11 is undergoing accelerated preparation of 10 exhibition halls as aerial acrobatics teams will arrive next week.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), and other organizers and sponsors are setting up exhibition booths at the Zhuhai Airshow Center in Jinwan District.

Consisting of seven halls (Hall 1-7), the fixed pavilion for aerospace and aviation covers 6.6 hectares (16.3 acres). It is to accommodate cutting-edge technologies and products as well as defense equipment.

Boeing, Airbus, and other renowned companies from the United States, Russia, France, Canada and elsewhere will have booths in Halls 3, 4, and 5. Domestic enterprise giants will be accommodated in their own halls, according to Zhou Zuode, director of the airshow's Zhuhai Executive Committee Office.

The 1.2-hecatre (3-acre) China Weaponry Hall (#8) will display the country's latest ordnance including tanks, armored vehicles, and guns.

Hall 9 is a newly built temporary structure to demonstrate military-civilian integration achievements in China. Outstanding companies Guangdong Hongda Blasting, Naruida Technology, and Oceanalpha (Yunzhou-Tech) will display radar, launch vehicles, and missiles, as well as unmanned boats for military and civilian use, digital combat simulation systems, and aviation ancillary equipment.

Meanwhile, about 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres) are reserved for displays of unmanned aerial vehicles -- the main theme of Hall 10, the other temporary hall newly added this year.

The on-ground dynamic demonstration area has been readied for up to 50 projects. Moreover, organizers will double the size of tents erected outside the exhibition halls to enhance viewing.

The August 1st Aerobatic Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force, Pakistan Air Force's Thunder aircraft, and Royal Saudi Air Force's (RSAF) Saudi Hawks will ensure an exciting flight show.
