China Tours

Links to China Tours:

There are many commercial companies who provide China tours. Conference attendees could use the key words such as "China Tours" in Google to find a large list of companies who provide such tours. For the convenience of attendees, some links are provided below. The 2008 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium and IEEE do not endorse any particular tours and are not liable for any of the tours.

The China International Conference Center for Science and Technology (CICCST) has organized some China tours for the conference attendees of the 2008 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium. CICCST will be fully responsible for these tours and thus both the 2008 IEEE IUS and IEEE are not liable to any accidents or any parts of the tours. Individual tours may be cancelled if there are not enough participants for the tours.

When booking tours via CICCST, please follow the procedures below (assuming that you have not had a password established with CICCST yet):

Read through the information on the CICCST page regarding the details of China tours via the link "CICCST Post-Conference Tours" below.

Click the link "here" near the bottom of the CICCST page. (You should also see the "Payment Methods" and "Cancellation and Refund" policy of CICCST before coming back and clicking "here".) The next page will be a "Login" page.

If you have not established an account on the CICCST page through this page, "Three Local Guest Tours", or "Conference Hotels" before, please click the button "registration" on the page. The next page will be "Your Account" page. (If you have already had the password through the prior registration via CICCST, simply enter your email address and the password. Then, you could proceed directly to fill out the hotel registration form below.)

On the "Your Account" page, enter your email address, select your password, and then retype your password. Click the "Registration" button at the bottom of the page when you are done. If successful, a message box, "Login Success!", will popup. Click "OK" will return you to the "Login" page.

Enter your email address and password you have just selected during the "Registration" process. If successful, a message box, "Login Success!", will popup. Click "OK".

A form will appear after you have clicked "OK" button above. Provide your personal information and fill out this form. If you also need to book hotels and Beijing local tours via CICCST (please follow the links "Conference Hotels" and "Three Local Guest Tours" of the conference web for details), you could also enter information into the form here instead of entering the information in those pages.

After you have finished with the form, please click "Submit" button near the bottom of the page. Then, a message box, "Success!", will popup after you have successfully submitted the form. An email confirmation of receiving this form will be sent to you within 48 hours (the email will be sent manually to you from CICCST, instead of automatically).

Then, please send an appropriate amount of money for your tours to CICCST using the "Payment Methods" and you will receive another notice after CICCST has received your money to confirm that you tours are now reserved.

To check the information you have submitted, you could login to the form page again with your email address and password that you have used when you fill out the form (the form may also contain information of your Beijing local tours and hotel reservation if you have booked them via CICCST). Please notice that the submission of the form only completes part of the tour booking process. Correct amount of money (given in the link below) should be paid to and received by CICCST before the tours can be guaranteed (you will receive another notice when your money is received and the tours are confirmed). Please also notice that CICCST does not take any credit cards when you book tours (only personal checks, certified bank checks, or wire transfers are acceptable). In China, major hotels and large shopping centers accept major credit cards such as Visa and Master cards. Automatic Transaction Machines (ATM) are available in many hotels to obtain cash. In small shops and restaurants, it is advised to use cash.

Alternatively, if you could find lower prices of similar tours via internet or other sources than those listed in the CICCST link below, you could book tours directly through your own sources. If you would like to pay credit cards to book tours, you could search internet or find some travel agencies to book tours for you directly.

If you decide to book the China tours via CICCST, all questions regarding the tours should be directly addressed to CICCST with the contacts listed in the links below (including payment methods and cancellation policy).
