Visa
Participants who hold passports from outside of mainland China may need to apply for a Chinese visa before travel. Please check the Chinese embassy or travel agencies in your country for more information and prepare well in advance. Usually the F-visa (business or visiting visa) is required and an "Invitation Letter of Duty Authorized Unit" is needed. We can provide such a letter and please ask us early if it is needed. We can also provide a normal invitation letter with our school stamp and signature.
Name Badges
For better communication and collaboration, name badges are expected to be worn at all time during the conference. For environmental concern, you can return the badge to us for recycling at the end of the symposium if you do not need it anymore. You are also free to keep the badge yourself if you want to have it as a souvenir.
Meals
The Hotel will provide breakfast. For lunch and dinner please follow our directions to the restaurant. Please indicate in advance to us if you are vegetarian or have special requirements for food. If you want to have your own meal, there are restaurants of different levels around the campus. But most dinning halls in the campus only accept the campus card. Please ask any of our students or faculties for help and recommendation.
Emergency Contact
Our volunteers will be arranged in room ??? of Kehuayuan Hotel during your stay and you can ask for help there. In case of emergency you can also call our mobiles (sent separately in emails).
