often come to big cities like Beijing or Shanghai. The
conference venue Tonghua, a major city in Jilin Province
of Northeast China, will offer you an opportunity to see
the real China and to observe the lives of ordinary
Chinese people. Tonghua city is situated at the foot of
Changbai Mountain bordering North Korea. Changbai
Mountain is a dormant volcano and was included as the
United Nations international biosphere protectorate in
1980. September is the best time of the year in this
area. You could take some time after the conference to
visit the mysterious Tianchi – a lake sitting 2194
meters high up on Changbai Mountain or visit neighboring
North Korea and Russia.
