Telephoning and WiFi

WiFi is available in the lobbies and conference rooms of Jin Chun Yuan. Laptops can be connected to the internet free of charge via cables available in your room.

You can make international calls from your room line (charged to your room) or use your iphone with the password assigned to your room.

The voltage in China is 220V. You would need a convertor to use electronic appliances whose voltage is below 220V. It is strongly recommended that you bring with you a universal travel adapter to plug in.

All conference venues are equipped with Wifi, projector and laptop.

C.        Travelling in Beijing

Several websites are recommended for travelling around the city.

The official website for tourism by the city council is http://english.visitbeijing.com.cn/ (English), http://www.visitbeijing.com.cn/ (Chinese).

In addition, two popular websites consulted by travelers are Timeout (http://www.timeoutbeijing.com/VisitingBeijing.html) and China Highlight ( http://www.chinahighlights.com/beijing/).

For famous tourist attractions in Beijing, the ranking at Tripadvisor ( http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g294212-Activities-Beijing.html) might be a good reference.

Last but not least, the electronic map of Beijing Metro Lines can provide much help (http://explorebj.com/subway/ ).
