Enter to China
China is a very safe country for tourists and a very good place for convention and conference.

The Organizing Committee advises participants to make visa application at least one month ahead of time. Prospective attendees from most countries will be required to take passport with valid period of over half a year, completed visa application form (available at local Chinese Embassy) and photos to the Chinese Embassy Visa Office for visa application. For detailed information, please consult the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People' s Republic of China and nearest Chinese Embassies.
