SeaFur (海兽聚) is a hotel-based furry convention held in Shanghai, China, at the Shanghai Marriott Hotel Kangqiao in the Pudong district. The event operates multiple seasonal gatherings throughout the year, with the February 2026 winter edition running under the theme "傩祓岁破."
The 2026 Winter Edition: 傩祓岁破
SeaFur operates recurring, themed community gatherings across multiple seasons (such as the summer "枕海入梦" runs). The winter edition is confirmed for February 6-8, 2026.
Hosted at the Shanghai Marriott Hotel Kangqiao in the Pudong district, the 2026 iteration runs under the Chinese title "傩祓岁破". While exact English translations of this culturally rooted theme vary in Western directories, the aesthetic draws on traditional motifs, local art, and an atmosphere distinct from standard Western conventions.
(Note for international attendees: Major Chinese convention networks commonly use rolling, wave-based site updates, so their portals will often highlight the next upcoming seasonal gathering before marketing the subsequent editions.)
How Do I Get to SeaFur?
Shanghai's infrastructure makes SeaFur well positioned for travel logistics:
Flying (International & Domestic): Shanghai has two major hubs. Pudong International Airport (PVG) is the primary gateway for global attendees, while Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) services domestic flights and connections from neighboring Asian nations.
The Maglev & Metro: From PVG, the Maglev train carries passengers into the city grid at 431 km/h (267 mph). From there, the extensive and affordable Shanghai Metro system connects throughout the city, including the Pudong convention zone.
High-Speed Rail: If arriving from Beijing, Guangzhou, or other major Chinese cities, Shanghai's high-speed railway stations connect directly to the Metro network.
Where Should I Stay for SeaFur?
The hotel format is a defining feature of the SeaFur experience:
Main Venue (Shanghai Marriott Hotel Kangqiao): A premium-tier property in the Pudong district. SeaFur's hotel-hosted format means room parties, lobby hangouts, and the main stage are all under one roof, creating a self-contained community environment.
The Pudong Footprint: Because the Marriott is in Pudong, attendees are strongly advised to secure lodging in the official block. Navigating the scale of Shanghai during a convention weekend is easier when you are already staying at the venue.
