Please note that during the conference time, we will have a van and driver available to take you to your travel destinations if you prefer not to participate in the conference. A fee will be charged based upon the time and destinations involved. Our center is half an hour drive to the Great Wall but 2 hour drive to Beijing proper.
Please do not hesitate to write to me if and when you have any questions, suggestions and/or feedback for us to be a successful organizer. We look forward to hearing from and seeing you in Beijing in October!
