Transport Information
This map shows you the relative positions of the Intel campus, recommended hotels and key sights within Shanghai.
Buses from hotels to the Intel Campus
We will be organising a bus service from the recommended hotels (see above) to the Intel site in the morning and the evening. Exact pick-up and return times will be published later.
Other ways to get to the Intel Campus
Taxi's in Shanghai are relatively cheap. You are looking at a cost of around $20-$25 for a 1-1.5 hour taxi ride of about 30-35 km's. There is no easy way to get to the Intel site by public transport. Should you chose to use a taxi or chose to stay in a different hotel to those recommended, please make sure you organise the taxi with the concierge at your hotel. Printing out a map of the Intel site's location and the address in Chinese as well as your hotel address also helps.
Reference distances to the Intel site:
- The Bund : 38 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
- Pudong : 40 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
- Recommended hotels in Hongqiao : 27 km's - approximately 1 hour
Getting from the airport to the Hotels and vice versa
To get from the airport to one of the recommended hotels, you can take a taxi. It is about a 50 km drive and will take 1-1.5 hours depending on the day of time. It will cost around $25-$30. Make sure to go to the airport's taxi stand and do *not* use one of the offers for a taxi when you come out of the gate. These are normally limousine services which will cost you several times more than a regular taxi. You should also print out the name and a map of the hotel, just in case.
Alternatively, you can use public transport: see the following map
Taxi's in Shanghai
Taxi's in Shanghai are relatively cheap. For more information see the Travel China Guide
Visa Invitation Letters
If you require an invitation, please send an e-mail to community dot manager at xenproject dot org. You should leave make sure that you have at least 2 weeks to organise a visa with your local Chinese Embassy after you have received the visa invitation letter. Please provide the following information:

I want to attend
Request an Invitation
In previous years we have requested for attendees to fill out a form and request an invitation. This was overly complicated, so we will revert back to a simpler approach. Please add your name to the list below.
- If you are a maintainer or otherwise a core member of the community, just add yourself to the Confirmed Attendees section stating your name and
- If you are not a maintainer add yourself the Request invitation. If your email address is not known in the Xen Community, please also add the name of your employer and send your e-mail address to community dot manager at xenproject dot org using "Request for Hackathon 2015 Invite" as subject line. This is important, such that we can e-mail more information to you. We will monitor this page and confirm whether we have space for you to attend.
IMPORTANT: The cut-off date for registrations is April 12th.
Please read the text in the warning box below: it contains more detailed instructions.
