FAQ
Who will pay for my expenses?
Attendees are responsible for their own reservations and travel expenses. There is no fee to attend any of the events.
Where should I stay?
Yale-China will provide recommendations for accommodations at a later date. There is a possibility that our partners in Changsha and Xiuning might be able to provide housing for guests attending these events.
How will I get around China?
We recommend travelling by bullet train between cities. Tickets become available two weeks before the date of travel and are most easily booked through trip.com. We anticipate being able to provide local transportation for most activities in Changsha and Xiuning.
