3. Important Transportation Tips (Please Read Carefully)

According to the Hangzhou Traffic Police Department, on weekends and public holidays, there are usually “odd-even” restrictions for small passenger vehicles in this area (alternating restrictions based on the last digit of the license plate).
- During peak hours on weekday mornings (7:00-9:00) and evenings (16:30-18:30), vehicles with non-local license plates are prohibited from entering the scenic area, and local vehicles (Zhejiang A) are subjected to tail number restrictions.
- Solution: If you are driving to the conference, please be sure to check the "West Lake Pass" reservation and restriction policies in advance. During the conference period, vehicles belonging to hotel guests can be registered by the hotel for passage (please retain your reservation SMS). It is recommended to contact the hotel front desk for confirmation before your arrival.
- Return Trip Suggestions:
- For the return trip after the conference (especially on Sundays), please allow ample time, especially for representatives heading to the airport, considering the potential congestion on Qingchun Road Tunnel.
We wish you a pleasant academic exchange and a smooth journey during your time in Hangzhou!
