CHECKLIST

Welcome

Dear Buyers,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of PandaJourney, China’s premier luxury travel summit. We are delighted that you will be joining us in Shanghai for four days of immersive learning, networking, and cultural exploration.

PandaJourney has been carefully designed to showcase the very best of China’s hospitality and tourism offerings while creating meaningful opportunities for dialogue and collaboration with international travel advisors. By blending curated one-to-one appointments, authentic dining experiences, and cultural immersion, we aim to provide a unique platform for you to better understand China’s potential as a luxury destination.

We thank you for making the journey to be with us, and we are committed to ensuring that your stay is both enjoyable and productive. Welcome to the PandaJourney family — we look forward to building lasting connections with you.

Warm regards,
The PandaJourney Team

Pre-Travel Essentials

Buyers are responsible for booking their own flights to Beijing. You may arrive at either:

• Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), which handles the majority of international and long-haul flights, as well as extensive domestic routes.

• Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), a newer hub primarily serving both domestic and select international routes.

Electronics & Power: China uses Type I plugs with 220V voltage. A universal travel adapter is essential. Bringing a power bank for your phone is also strongly advised.

Beijing at the end of August is warm and humid with decreasing rainfall, featuring daytime highs around 30°C to 31°C (86°F to 88°F) and comfortable nighttime lows around 20°C to 21°C (68°F to 70°F). Day clothes: Lightweight clothes like short-sleeve shirts and shorts made of breathable cotton. Evening layers: A thin long-sleeve jacket or light shirt for the cooler night hours.

During the summit, PandaJourney will provide complimentary shuttle services between your designated host hotel and all official event venues. Transfers between different venues during the day will also be taken care of.

For airport transfers, buyers are requested to make their own arrangements. Our official partner, StarRides, offers a flat-rate chauffeured airport transfer service in luxury vehicles, ensuring a seamless and comfortable arrival and departure experience.

China is increasingly cashless:

Alipay International is the most convenient method for foreign visitors and allows you to link international Visa/Mastercard cards.
Alipay+ Alliance: Travelers from select countries/regions (Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Philippines, etc.) can use their home e-wallets such as Touch ‘n Go, TrueMoney, or Kakao Pay directly in China.
Credit Cards: While major international hotels and some luxury retailers accept Visa/Mastercard, smaller businesses may not. We strongly recommend setting up Alipay to avoid inconvenience.

Dining & Networking

Note： Please share any dietary restrictions or allergies, so we may accommodate your needs during hosted meals.

Dree Code Suggestion:
Day 1 Welcome Cocktail: White Cocktail Chic with Panda Elements
Day 2 Appointment: Business
Day 3 Appointment: Business
Day 3 Panda Tour: Informed by the Tour Organiser*
Day 4 Panda Day: Business Casual
Day 4 Gala Dinner: Chinese Attire, Black Tie or National Attire

Please note Day 2 lunch at Red Bowl Hot Pot Restaurant. Rosewood Hotel’s hot pot has already reduced odour retention; however, a smell is often left on diners’ clothing and hair due to the pungent aromas produced by various seasonings.

*In the afternoon/evening of Day 03, buyers can choose to join Panda Tour Experiences, which will be split into different experience tracks. Buyers need to arrange their own transportation to the Panda Tour pick-up point and back to the hotel by themselves.

Full Agenda

Panda Journey takes place over four days – beginning with a welcome reception at The Puxuan Beijing and concluding with the Farewell Dinner at The Ritz-Carlton Beijing. In between, you’ll enjoy 1.5 days booked with up to 25 marketplace meetings, plenty of Panda Tour Experiences, and delicious private dining luncheon visits.
