There are international airlineconnections directly to <AHREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Lukou_International_Airport">NanjingLukou Airport</A> and via transfer at airports in Hong Kong, Beijing,Shanghai and many others. There are also very convenient trainconnections from Shanghai and Beijing, which take slightly more than1h from Shanghai and about 4h from Beijing. Travel within Nanjing canbe done cheaply via taxi and public transport. We will post detailed travelinstructions nearer the time.<p><center><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 300px; height: 170px"></div></center><H4>Venue and Accommodation</H4>The plan is to host the conference at the<A HREF="http://english.ctrip.com/hotels/nanjing-hotel-detail-66456/nanjing-hanyuan-mansion-center-of-academic-exchange/">HanyuanHotel</A>, which is inexpensive(ca. 350元/£35/$60/€40 per night including breakfast)and in easy reach from the city centre (see <A HREF="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hanyuan+Mansion,+20+Tongwei+Road,+Xuanwu,+Nanjing,+Jiangsu,+China,+210095&hl=en&ll=32.029617,118.838768&spn=0.204033,0.292854&sll=32.010405,118.824692&sspn=0.204076,0.292854&t=m&z=12">here</A>at Google Maps). It has the usual amenities for hosting conferences(Wifi, conference rooms, etc) and has links to neighbouringuniversities. There is also the possibility to use lecture rooms forfree in Xingyuan's university at the other side of the road. HanyuanHotel includes a restaurant and there are innumerable <AHREF="http://www.chinatour.com/nanjing/nanjing-food.htm">restaurants</A>around the hotel and in downtown Nanjing, all usually very affordable.<center><table style="width: 75%"><tr><td><img src="pics/hotel1.jpg" alt="hotel" width="98%" height="21%" border=0></td><td><img src="pics/hotel2.jpg" alt="hotel" width="98%" height="21%" border=0></td><td><img src="pics/hotel4.jpg" alt="hotel" width="98%" height="21%" border=0></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><center><small>Hanyuan Hotel</small></center></td> </tr> </table></center>There are also many additional<A HREF="http://wikitravel.org/en/Nanjing#Sleep">hotels</A> in all price categories nearby.<H4>Local Information</H4>There are several groups in the ITP area that are active in China. For example for the lastfive years there have been popular<A HREF="http://kyhcs.ustcsz.edu.cn/fmschool-2011">summerschools</A> in China about Coqwith 50 or so student participants each. ITPs (and TPHOLs) have<A HREF="history.html">never</A> been hosted inChina, and this might be an opportunity for the ITP community to foster relationswith researchers from China and Asia, and for local researchers to become part of theITP community.<p>Being in China, Nanjing offers the usual conveniences of good andaffordable food. It has several excellent<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing#Museums">museums</A>and tourist <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing#Tourism">attractions</A>.In the nearby vicinity are touristic hotspots like<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangzhou">Yangzhou</A>,<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangzhou">Hangzhou</A>,<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxi">Wuxi</A> and<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzhou">Suzhou</A>.Travelling<A HREF="http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa.htm">visas</A>to China should be easy to obtain for participants.<H4>Excursion</H4>We have two possible destinations for an excursion in mind: one is to<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangzhou">Yangzhou</A> (1h awayfrom Nanjing by bus), and the other is a (more leisurely) tour ofNanjing and its attractions. The tour to Yangzhou would involve a walkaround the Slender West Lake with its pavilions, the white LotusFlower Pagoda and the Suzhou-style gardens. One the way we wouldvisit the <A HREF="http://arts.cultural-china.com/en/85Arts6286.html">Daming Temple</A>and the old Stone Pagoda of Yangzhou. The daywould finish with a dinner in the well-known<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchun_Teahouse">Fuchun</A> restaurant. Thebest tour around Nanjing is to go to the<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Mountain">Purple Mountains</A> passing bythe <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linggu_Temple">Linggusi</A> pagoda,the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Wall_of_Nanjing">city wall</A> and the<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_Xiaoling_Mausoleum">Ming tombs</A> (see pictures onthe left).
