Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China, is a prefecture-level city with significant historical and cultural importance. Located in the western Sichuan Basin at the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is one of China's first national historical and cultural cities and a cradle of Shu civilization with a history of over 2,300 years.

Notable attractions in Chengdu include:

- The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base which is dedicated to preserving these endangered species;

Visa Application Instructions

If you are a conference participant holding a foreign passport, you will need to apply for a Chinese visa to visit China, except for passport holders from Singapore, Brunei, and Japan. You can apply for a visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in the region where you reside. To avoid any uncertainty, we recommend that you apply for the visa as early as possible, at least one month in advance.

For most attendees, it is easier to apply for a Tourist ("L") visa, which does not require an invitation letter for the application.

For more visa information, please contact the Chinese Embassy in your country.

The invitation letter will be issued by the conference organizing committee after the successful completion of registration.

Your name provided must be exactly the same as it appears on your passport. Any discrepancy between your name on your passport and on your invitation letter or other documentations could lead to a delay and/or denial of your visa application.

Please note that the conference and its organizing committees are not authorized to assist with your visa application process beyond providing the Notification of Invitation Letter issued by the conference and committee board. Should your application be denied, the conference and its organizing committee cannot change the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor will the conference and its organizing committee engage in any discussion or correspondence with the MOFA or the Embassy on behalf of the applicant.

It takes approximately one month for the Embassy to process the visa application, so please register as early as possible and ensure that you have enough time to obtain your visa.
