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.

Travel within Nanjing canbe done cheaply via taxi and public transport. We will post detailed travelinstructions 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 relatively easy to obtain for participants. You will needa letter of invitation which Xingyuan will send you (xingyuanzhang at 126 dot com).You need to provide him with name, title, work address, e-mail and paper title(if you present a paper).<p><center><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 300px; height: 170px"></div></center><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/">HanyuanHotel</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).
