Beijing, alternatively romanized as Peking is the capital of the People's Republic of China. Beijing is a global city and one of the world's leading centres for culture, diplomacy, politics, finance, business and economics, education, research, language, tourism, media, sport, science and technology and transportation. A megacity, Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's cultural, educational, and political center. Beijing is home to many national monuments and museums and has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, and parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal—all of which are popular tourist locations.
Visa Application
Conference participants may need a Chinese visa to enter China.
Specifically, those who are not Chinese citizens, except passport holders
from Singapore, Brunei, and Japan, need a Chinese visa. Participants can
apply for a visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in the region in which
they live. To avoid uncertainty, participants will be advised to apply for a
visa as early as possible. It is recommended that they apply for a Chinese
visa at least 1 month in advance.
For most attendees, it is easier to apply for a Tourist ("L") visa; an
invitation letter is NOT required for obtaining a Tourist visa.
