Walking routes to the lecture hall

The maps below show how to walk from each hotel to the lecture hall. They are not necessarily to scale; follow the marked routes.

Interactive map: how to get to the lecture hall

Pick a hotel and a travel mode: the map draws the route (walking, cycling or taxi) and estimates the time. The pins are labelled in English and Chinese, and the base map can be switched (top right) between the English-labelled Amap map (the same map your iPhone shows in mainland China), its Chinese version, OpenStreetMap and satellite imagery. Public transport is not estimated on this page, so the buttons below open the same route in Amap (高德) and Baidu (百度), which show the metro and bus lines with their timetables, and in Apple Maps, which lists them in its iPhone, iPad and Mac app: the Apple Maps website, which opens on a computer, covers driving and walking directions only, so for public transport on a computer use Amap or Baidu. Google Maps is offered as well, but it is not available in mainland China. Hotel pins are placed exactly at the coordinates of the hotels’ own Apple Maps place links, so the map agrees with the Maps app on your iPhone.

The lecture hall pin is placed at the coordinates given by the organisers, 39.989944, 116.311611, as shown by Amap and by Apple Maps in mainland China. The banquet pin (B) marks the Nongyuan building (农园), 3rd floor — the school banquet on Friday, 23 October 2026, at 19:00 — at 39.9875, 116.3062, about 140 m south-east of the lecture hall.
