The 9th IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC 2013) will be held on October 15-18, 2013, in Beijing, China. Beijing, China's capital city, is one of the world's greatest ancient capitals, and is a must-see destination (TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice® 2012 Winner). It features hundreds (if not thousands) of famous historic, cultural and scenic spots. It provides almost all kinds of authentic Chinese cuisine. It also serves as the most convenient portal for you to visit other parts of China with non-stop flights or highspeed rail to every major city in China. For those who have visited Beijing a couple of years ago, the fast developing city deserves your visit again. For those who have visited Beijing in other seasons, autumn showcases Beijing at its best, with light winds, clear skies, pleasant sunny weather and seasonal delicacies.
