Importance and Publicity of the Delegation Visit
This will be a highly significant event. Both city leaders and provincial leaders will be greeting the delegation. City, provincial, and/or national media will be covering this event.
Dalian City
Dalian is a very important industry base, IT base, education base, financial center, and tourism base of China. Located in Liaoing Province, it is also known as “the most beautiful city of China”. It is a world-famous harbor city and the only city in China to have made to the “World Most Livable City” list. It is not only rich in beautiful scenery but also advanced in high-tech industry. Among the many national titles Dalian has won in the IT industry are National Software Industry Base (named by China’s National Planning Commission & China’s Ministry of Information Industry), Model City of Software Industry Internationalization (named by China’s Ministry of Science & Technologies), Model City of E-Commerce (named by China’s Ministry of Information Industry), and National Informationalization Pioneer City (named by China’s Ministry of Information Industry).
For more information on Dalian, please visit https://www.dalian.gov.cn. It is available in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Liaoning Province
Liaoning Province, where Dalian city resides, is one of China’s earliest and most important industry bases and is one of China’s earliest opened-up regions. Situated at the center of Northeastern Asia and with a population of 42 million people, Liaoning is only a few hours northeast of Beijing via the freeway (an hour or so by air). The province consists of 14 large or middle-sized administrative cities including world-known cities of Dalian and Shenyang (the capital city of the province).
As the most industrialized province of the nation, Liaoning Province enjoys the best of the nation’s transportation and communication systems and networks. Since the beginning of the People’s Republic of China, Liaoning has been co-leading the country with Beijing both in education and in sports. With a solid economic foundation and abundant economic strength, Liaoning has maintained rapid economic growth. Enjoying many unique favorable initiatives from China’s central government, Liaoning Province is rapidly becoming a popular place of interest for foreign businesses. Today, many of the world’s fortune-500 companies have established operations in Liaoning.
Information industry (or the IT industry) is one of the province’s pillar industries. Liaoning boasts an excellent digital environment. The number of Internet and e-commerce users is growing at a two-digit annual rate. In 2003, the total number of Internet users in the province reached 5 million, and the phone/person rate reached 50 phones/100 people. In 2003, the IT industry of Liaoning Province achieved a sales revenue total of 9.78 billion US dollars, among which 5.07 billion were from the manufacturing sector, 1.31 billion from the software sector, and 3.40 billion from the telecommunications sector.
To promote further development of the IT industry, city governments throughout the province have issued various very favorable IT policies and initiatives. Moreover, the provincial government has set aside dedicated funds in support of IT development in Liaoning. With very IT-minded provincial leaders, Liaoning Province currently has seven IT parks, nine software colleges, and many other universities and colleges that provide IT training. IT businesses in Liaoning enjoy a rich supply of quality yet inexpensive IT professionals, college graduates, and technical labor force. Today, IT companies such as Microsoft, HP, IBM, Dell, Sony, Toshiba, and GE have either established operations or have signed agreements to establish operations in Liaoning.
Other Possible Cities of Visit In Addition to Dalian
Liaoning Province has 14 major administrative cities: Shenyang (the capital city of Liaoning Province), Dalian, Anshan, Fushun, Benxi, Dandong, Jinzhou, Yingkou, Fuxin, Liaoyang, Tieling, Chaoyang, Panjin, and Huludao.
Visits to cities other than Dalian could be individually arranged upon request. No matter what city you choose to visit, you will be surely warmly received by local city government and colleagues.
Expenses Delegation Members Pay
· Airline Tickets Members purchase their own roundtrip airline tickets to and from Dalian.
· Hotel Stay Delegation members pay for their own hotel stay. The hosts will negotiate with local hotels for the best possible rates (delegation members will be able to choose their own room types at check-in). There are many excellent hotels, and their charges are quite reasonable compared with those in the U.S. or even in Beijing or Shanghai, China. For example, even a five-star hotel will cost no more than $80 per night for a standard guest room, including breakfast. Since most of our activities will be group activities and the delegation may be visiting multiple sites each day, for ease of transportation (so that the transportation folks will not miss anyone), the hosts would prefer to have all members stay in the same hotel. (To save members the trouble of finding hotels in cities unfamiliar to them, the hosts will be picking up the members from the airport or train station and taking them to the hotel where the delegation will be staying.)
· Personal Expenses
Please Note: The hosts are not travel agencies. Therefore, delegation members will not pay the hosts for any of their expenses. Instead, they would pay the service providers (such as the travel agents who sell them the airline tickets and the hotel where they stay) directly.
Free Services the Hosts Provide
· Local Transportation The hosts will provide free local transportation in Dalian. For those who desire to visit other cities of Liaoning Province in addition to Dalian, the hosts will also help arrange free local transportation in those cities.
· Meals The hosts will provide free meals from April 25 to April 27.
· Translation Services Delegation members do not need to be able to speak Chinese. The hosts will provide translators and interpreters, and the delegation will find many government, business, and academic personnel in Liaoning Province speaking English as well.
· Meeting Facilities The hosts will provide group and individual meeting rooms and presentation facilities.
· Guided Tours The hosts will arrange and facilitate various guided tours for the delegation.
· Business Assistance Prior to, during, and after the event, the hosts will assist delegation members who wish to explore cooperation opportunities to find potential partners in Liaoning Province.
The Best Day to Arrive
The opening meeting/ceremony will be held on the morning of April 26. Therefore, delegation members could choose to arrive in Dalian anytime before April 26. Although all delegation members are encouraged to attend the opening meeting/ceremony, the hosts understand that individual schedules may not allow such perfection. Therefore, delegation members who are unable to arrive in time are still welcome to join in at any time.
It is very important for delegation members to keep the hosts informed of their individual arrival time and mode of transportation (plane or train) so that the hosts will be able to make proper arrangements to pick them up at the airport or train station.
Possible flight routes:
U.S. à Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc. à Dalian
Dalian à Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc. à U.S.
Delegation members are welcome to schedule other activities on their own (such as visiting Beijing or Shanghai or any other city in China for a few days) as desired. The hosts, however, will be unable to take responsibility for the activities outside Liaoning Province.
Extra Days of Stay in Liaoning
Delegation members are welcome to arrive as many days early or leave as many days late as they would like. If delegation members need help in arranging for extra days of stay in Liaoning Province, the hosts would be happy to provide any needed assistance.

Trip Preparation:
1. Express your interest by contacting Dr. Taowen Le and providing your contact information (including your name, your organization name, your business title, your contact phone number, and your mailing address).
If you are from a company, please also provide a short description of your company (such as what your company does). This will enable the hosts to invite the right companies and professionals from within the province to meet with you so as to make your visit more productive.
2. Receive an official letter of invitation. Upon confirmation of your interest and on behalf of the Department of Information Industry of Liaoning Province, Dr. Le will send you a signed, official letter of invitation.
3. If you do not already have a valid passport, apply for a passport at the local passport agency (you can do so before you receive the official letter of invitation).
4. After receiving the official letter of invitation and your passport, apply for a Chinese visa if you are not a Chinese citizen. The visa application form and instructions can be found at https://www.china-embassy.org.
5. Secure your airline tickets. Travel agencies tend to have better deals than airline companies. You should be able to get very reasonable air fares for April. Roundtrip airfare from the west coast of the U.S. to Dalian typically costs less than $1000 per person. (For your reference, you could call 1-800-887-8702 to get a quote.)
6. Notify Dr. Le and the other contacts in China of your flight information to enable them to facilitate local arrangements. (To be prudent, please email your flight information both to Dr. Le in the US and to the contacts in China.)

· Bring some business brochures, flyers, and/or other marketing materials
· Bring a set of business attire for formal occasions
