   <h3 class="western">Opening ceremony: Diaoyutai State Guesthouse</h3>

   <p><a href="http://www.chinadyt.com/">http://www.chinadyt.com/</a></p>

   <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The 'Pearl Fishing Stage' is located in the
   east of Yuyantan Park, Haidian District, composed of a group of archaic
   royal gardens and a modern state guesthouses. It has a long standing of
   over 800 years and received its beautiful name from the old legend that Wan
   Yanjing, emperor of Jin Dynasty, once fished here. Till the Qing Dynasty,
   Emperor Gaozong ordered to dredge up Yuyuantan and build Xanadu here, which
   was therefore designated a royal garden of the monarch. Recently, the State
   Guesthouse was renovated and expanded significantly by the government of
   People's Republic of China based on the old beauty spot of Diaoyutai and
   used as the place to welcome state guests and venue for grand
   conferences.</p>

   State Guesthouse is surrounded by many famous spots and tourism
   attractions, such as The Central Radio and Television Tower, CCTV, The

   <h3 class="western">Peking University</h3>

   <p><a href="http://en.pku.edu.cn/">http://en.pku.edu.cn/</a></p>

   <p>The Peking University, formerly the Jing Shi Da Xue Tang (the
   Metropolitan University) of the Qing Dynasty, opened in December 1898. The
   Metropolitan University was not only the most prestigious institution of
   higher learning but also the highest administrative organization of
   education in China.</p>

   <p>The Peking University is a comprehensive national key university. The
   campus, known as "Yan Yuan", the gardens of Yan, is situated at the
   northeast of the Haidian District at the western suburbs of Beijing. It
   stands near the Yuan Ming Gardens and the Summer Palace.</p>

   <p>The Peking University is one of the best reputated universities all over
   the world and the bridge for international communication in scientific,
   research and innovation. It will provide a platform for scholars, students,
   and developers from home and abroad to exchange ideas and thoughts during
   the sessions of the conference.</p>

   <h3 class="western">Peking University Hall</h3>

   <p><a href="http://www.pku-hall.com/"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang=
   "en-US">http://www.pku-hall.com/</span></a><span lang="en-US" xml:lang=
   "en-US">(no English page available)</span></p>

   <p><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Peking University Hall was build to
   celebrate 100-year birthday of Peking University. It is the biggest
   multifunctional complex among nation-wide universities and colleges in
   China with advanced establishment and complete functionality. Facilities
   likedressing room, rehearsing room,</span> <span lang="en-US" xml:lang=
   "en-US">multifunctional room, rest room, assembly room and visitor
   reception room are fully equipped to meet the requirements of meetings and
   conferences of any kind.</span></p>

   <h3 class="western">Peking University Overseas Exchange Center (OEC)</h3>

   <p><a href=
   "http://oec.pku.edu.cn/oechome/en/index.asp">http://oec.pku.edu.cn/oechome/en/index.asp</a></p>

   <p>The OEC is playing an important role in the PKU’s overseas exchange
   programs and has achieved good reputation with its high-standard services
   and professional team since its foundation in 1993. It is affiliated with
   the Convention Center of Peking University, and has a number of meeting
   rooms with the capacity of 40-450 people.</p>

   <p>The OEC consists of three departments, taking charge of international
   conference organization, overseas exchange project arrangement, and venue
   rental.</p>

   <p>The OEC has successfully organized hundreds of international conferences
   with the number of participants from dozens to over a thousand, for
   example, the Harvard World Model United Nations 2006, which attracted 1500
   participants from 162 colleges of 38 countries and was recorded as the
   largest conference in PKU’s history.</p>

   <p>The OEC serves as a platform for overseas scholars and students to get
   to know China and the Peking University. We have developed a long and
   intimate relationship with a number of overseas colleges and academic
   institutions from America, Europe, Japan, Korea, etc. Every year OEC
   arranges a tour and field study programs for a variety of student and/or
   scholar groups. With the increasing interest in both Chinese language and
   culture throughout the world, OEC has made it a priority to diversify the
   amount of overseas exchange projects it is a part of.</p>

 <h2>Beijing</h2>

 <h3>Eating and drinking</h3>

 <p>Beijing offers a unique density of restaurants and several bar quarters.
 The venue itself is located in a quarter known for its good and versatile
 restaurants, discotheques and music clubs. Another hot-spot of Beijing night
 life is the Houhai bar area, which is 3.5 kilometers away and nicely located
 at one of the famous lakes near Beijing's Forbidden City.</p>

 <p>Very(!) good lunch/dinner starts at 2€ per person. Beer starts at 0.3€ for
 0.5 liter. (Above mentioned bar streets are more expensive, but still not too
 bad from an European point of view.)</p>

 <p>We expect also a easier communication with the service personal in bars
 and restaurants, as a lot of them will have basic English knowledge after the
 Olympics.</p>

 <h3>Getting around</h3>

 <p>Travel to the venue from the conference hotels will be guaranteed by
 shuttle buses. However, none of the hotels selected by the organizers is more
 than 30 minutes (2.5 kilometers) by foot away from the venue. Despite the
 gigantic size of Beijing, the whole OOo community will stay very close
 together.</p>

 <p>Taxis in Beijing cost 1€ for the first five kilometers. Every additional
 kilometer is 0.2€. Beijing subway costs 0.2€ for each destination. The subway
 network will be significantly enhanced for the Olympic Games. Prices for
 Beijing buses start at 0.1€.</p>
