The 6th conference on Interactive Theorem Proving will be held in
Nanjing, China.
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing">Nanjing</A> is situated
in the heart of China — close to Shanghai and roughly
equidistant between Beijing and Hong Kong. It is a former capital
during the Ming Dynasty with a rich <A
HREF="http://www.cityofnanjing.com">cultural heritage</A>.
The proceedings will be published as usual in the LNCS
Series.

<H4>Tentative Programme</H4>
The conference will be held in the last week of August (24th - 27th
August 2015). As is the tradition, the conference consists of 4 days
of research presentations and invited talks. Like in previous
conferences, we will allow ample time between the formal sessions for
attendees to mingle and converse. Half a day will be dedicated to an
excursion to <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangzhou">Yangzhou</A>
and the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangzhou#Slender_West_Lake">Slender West Lake</A>.
<H4>Travel to Nanjing</H4>
Nanjing is a major city in China. There are international airline
connections directly to <A
HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Lukou_International_Airport">Nanjing
Lukou Airport</A> and via transfer at airports in Hong Kong, Beijing,
Shanghai and many others. There are also very convenient train
connections from Shanghai and Beijing, which take slightly more than
1h from Shanghai and about 4h from Beijing. Travel within Nanjing can
be done cheaply via taxi and public transport. We will post detailed travel
instructions nearer the time.
<p>
Remember that travelling to China requires
<A HREF="http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa.htm">visas</A>,
but they should be easy to obtain for participants. If you need a letter
of invitation contact Xingyuan (xingyuanzhang at 126 dot com) with
name, title, work address, e-mail and paper title (if you have a paper).

<H4>Venue and Accommodation</H4>
The conference will take place at the
<A HREF="http://english.ctrip.com/hotels/nanjing-hotel-detail-66456/nanjing-hanyuan-mansion-center-of-academic-exchange/">Hanyuan
Hotel</A>, which is relatively 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 neighbouring
universities. Hanyuan
Hotel includes a restaurant and there are innumerable <A
HREF="http://www.chinatour.com/nanjing/nanjing-food.htm">restaurants</A>
around the hotel and in downtown Nanjing, all usually very affordable.

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 last
five years there have been popular
<A HREF="http://kyhcs.ustcsz.edu.cn/fmschool-2011">summerschools</A> in China about Coq
with 50 or so student participants each. ITPs (and TPHOLs) have
<A HREF="history.html">never</A> been hosted in
China, and this might be an opportunity for the ITP community to foster relations
with researchers from China and Asia, and for local researchers to become part of the
ITP community.
<p>
Being in China, Nanjing offers the usual conveniences of good and
affordable 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>.
If you want to explore Nanjing yourself, the best tour is to go to the
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Mountain">Purple Mountains</A> passing by
the <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 on
the left). There is a wide selection of excellent restaurants around
Nanjing's Confucius Temple.
<H4>Excursion</H4>
The excursion will be to
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangzhou">Yangzhou</A> (1h away
from Nanjing by bus). The tour will include a walk
around the Slender West Lake with its pavilions, the white Lotus
Flower Pagoda and the Suzhou-style gardens. One the way we would
visit the <A HREF="http://arts.cultural-china.com/en/85Arts6286.html">Daming Temple</A>
and the old Stone Pagoda of Yangzhou. The day
will finish with a dinner in the well-known
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchun_Teahouse">Fuchun</A> restaurant.
