5. Local information

A. Weather

April is the most beautiful month of the year in Hangzhou. With pleasant spring weather, it is the best time to travel when willow branches swinging in the breeze and flowers blooming by the West Lake. The average high temperature is 21°C (70°F).

A coat, a long-sleeved shirt or a light sweater are enough for this season. Rain is frequent in Hangzhou in spring, so it is recommended to pack a thin sweater and a thin coat to go out at night or on rainy days.

B. Electricity The standard voltage in China is 220V, 50 HZ for AC. The outlet is three-pronged and you are recommended to bring your own adaptor. For a list of the outlets and plugs used in China, you may check：http://electricaloutlet.org/

Chinese outlet

C. Currency

You may change money at the banks or money exchange office at the airport beforehand since you need Chinese money (CNY, or RMB) to pay for local transportation. Kindly note that there will be quite some walk with ups and downs especially at the subway station for transfers. So it is recommended that you take a taxi go to the workshop venue if you have luggage.

We thank you in advance for your kind attention. We hope you will have a hassle-free and enjoyable stay in Hangzhou.

We very much look forward to hosting you in Hangzhou.
