Zhangzhou China Merchants Economic and Technological Development Zone (referred to as CMZD), one of the state development zones, locates in the southern Xiamen Bay in China’s southeast coast, which stays among the Three Economic Zones of Shanghai, Taiwan and Hongkong. CMZD is one of the important parts in Fujian Western Straits Economic Zone, and plays a leading role in Zhangzhou port development.

Passport and Visa

A valid passport and a visa are required for entry into China. Visas can be obtained from your local Chinese Embassy or the nearest Consulate General. Japanese and Singaporean participants holding a private passport and staying in China for not more than 15 days do not need a visa. Early registration is advised so that adequate time is allowed for obtaining visas.To obtain a business visa, participants can provide passport information at online registration and a scanned copy of passport so that the organizer can prepare and send an official visa invitation letter, which lists the city where the applicant should apply for the visa, the passport data, the gender of the applicant and the accompanying persons, the date of entry and the length of stay. Alternatively, participants can apply for a tourist visa through a travel agent after booking air tickets and completing hotel reservation.

The exchange rate is about USD 1 = CNY 6.2 yuan and EURO 1= CNY 8.0 in March 2013. When exchanging money, please keep your receipt, which you will need in order to change any remaining Chinese yuan back to foreign currency when leaving China.
