As for what type of visa to apply for and how to do it, please consult the local Chinese embassy or travel agency for authoritative answers.
(6) Q: Do we need to take a nucleic acid test and/or medical quarantine for COVID-19 when entering China?
Ans: According to the reply received after consulting Chinese customs on May 12, the following summary is made: when you enter China's mainland, you are required to carry your own negative antigen self-test result within 48 hours (i.e. antigen test strip with negative results) or proof of nucleic acid testing. Customs will check the body temperature of travelers, and those with abnormal temperatures will further undergo COVID-19 testing. Before boarding, passengers with negative test results are required to fill out the health declaration for entry and exit at https://htdecl.chinaport.gov.cn/.
(7) Q: Are there any supermarkets and restaurants near the recommended hotel?
Ans: Yes, they are all located within walking distance.
(8) Q: How to pay the conference registration fee?
Ans: Users who pay with WeChat, Alipay, and UnionPay will soon be able to use online payment, and the specific time will be announced separately. Unfortunately, we have not yet solved the problem of international credit card payments, and we are still working on it. Therefore, international credit card users may need to pay in cash in RMB on site.
