INVITATION
The Seventh International Symposium on Engineering Plastics
(EP’2015 Xining) will be held in Xining, Qinghai Province, China,
August 18-21, 2015. Its topics will remain on polymeric materials,
retaining its abbreviation EP as its logo actually over “engineering
plastics” with continuous success, and keeping its tradition to act as
a platform exchanging the recent progress, deep consideration and
future development about polymeric materials. In addition to the
basic topics for R&D of polymeric materials, this time the special
focus will be on “polymeric materials for a sustainable world”. The
organization committee cordially invites all of you, scientists,
engineers and students involving in polymer synthesis, physics,
processing and materials, to attend this symposium and have face to
face discussion.

A valid passport and visa for visiting China are required. Upon receiving your Visa
Application Form, the organizer will send you an official invitation letter with which
you can apply for an entry visa at the Chinese Embassy or the nearest Consulate
General.
Xining
Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province in western China, and the largest city on
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The city was a commercial hub along the Northern Silk
Road's Hexi Corridor for over 2000 years, and was a stronghold of the Han, Sui,
Tang, and Song dynasties' resistance against nomadic attacks from the west. The
city is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and lies in the
Huangshui River valley, with its average altitude of about 2,200 metres (7,200 ft). It
is connected by rail to Lhasa, Tibet and Lanzhou, Gansu. Xining holds sites of
religious significance to Muslims and Buddhists, including the Dongguan Mosque
and Ta'er Monastery. Xining has also been dubbed the Summer Resort Capital of
China owing to its cool summer, with a cold semi-arid climate.
Travel to and from Xining
There are direct flights connecting Xining with more than 20 domestic cities in
China.
Insurance
The organizers cannot be responsible for personal accidents or material damage,
which may occur to the participants during the conference and tours. All the
participants are advised to make their own arrangements in respect to health and
travel insurance before commencing their journey to the conference.
Climate
Dubbed as the Summer Resort Capital of China, conditions in Xining are influenced
by the aridity and high altitude. Nights are cold or cool throughout the year. Based
on the climate data for Xining (1971–2000), in August the average high temperature
is 23.9 °C (75 °F) and the average low temperature 11.1°C (52 °F), and
[
precipitation 74 mm. Mean monthly sunshine hours in August is 244.4 hours.
Currency Exchange
In China, only RMB is used. However, exchange centers can be found at airports,
most hotels and large shopping centers. The rate of exchange is about US$1.00 =
RMB6.2 Yuan recently. When exchange money, please keep care your receipt by
which you can change any remaining RMB back to foreign currency when you
leaving China. Visa, Master, American Express, Diners Club, JCB and other credit
cards are accepted in many department stores and hotels. But it might be difficult to
draw cash with credit cards. The Bank of China and most hotels can cash traveler
checks issued by any foreign bank or financial institution. Participants will need to
show their passport and pay a three-percent commission. Travelers checks signed
over to a third party cannot be cashed in China, but can be presented to collection
9
through the Bank of China.
Reconfirmation Air Ticket
Departure air tickets (both international and domestic) should be reconfirmed 72
hours in advance by calling the related airline office.
PAYMENT
Payment on-site
The cash in RMB is acceptable. Personal checks are not acceptable for the
payment.
