INVITATION:
On behalf of the Chinese Welding Society and its Computer-Aided Welding Commission, I would like to cordially invite you to the International Symposium on Computer-Aided Welding Engineering (CAWE’06) to be held in Jinan, China on 19-22 October, 2006.
In the century of information technology, the extent and degree of computers’ application in welding science and engineering are expanding continuously so that a frontier of computer-aided welding engineering is formed. Large amount of creative R&D achievements are going on to emerge in the relevant areas. The CAWE’06 will provide a great opportunity for professors, researchers, engineers and other experts to exchange their research results and ideas in the field of computer-aided welding engineering. Furthermore, the CAWE’06 is a main activity to mark an important event, i.e., the 20th anniversary of the foundation of the Computer-Aided Welding Commission of Chinese Welding Society.
We are also arranging some exciting social and tour programs that will allow the participants and accompanying persons to enjoy their stay in Jinan in the golden Autumn Season. You are warmly welcome to join us in this important conference in China.
Sincerely yours,

Welcome
to Jinan!
Jinan
is the capital
city of Shandong Province on China’s east coast. It is situated like a gem
between Mt. Taishan (the first of the “Five Sacred Mountains” in China) in
the south and Yellow River (the soul of the Chinese Nation) to the north. Jinan
enjoys the reputation of “the City of Springs” because there are many
natural springs in the city. All the springs flow into the charming Daming Lake,
and form the unique spring sight.
Jinan
has a history of 2,600 years. It is named as the Famous
Historical & Cultural City and one of Excellent
Tourism Cities by the National Tourism Administration Board of China. It
has, ever since ancient times, enjoyed the fame of “with lotus on four sides
and willow on three sides, the city surrounded by hills and embellished by lake
and springs”. In downtown region taking the City of Springs Square as center,
there are three big scenic spots which are most famous over all the country,
i.e., Baotu Springs, the Thousand-Buddha Mountain and Daming
Lake. In the suburbs, there are over twenty places famous for its scenery or
historical relics, and among them, the most fascinating spot is Red Leaves
Valley. The valley, covering more than 2.7 square kilometers, is full of
smoke trees, and in autumn the green leaves gradually change into light red,
then bright red and finally dark red, which are like burning fire. The view can
last more than one month.

Mount
Taishan, 50
km away from Jinan: Mount Taishan is the most famed of the five famous
mountains in China and symbolizes the Chinese Spirit. Since the Qin Dynasty
(221BC ~ 206 BC), Mount Taishan, as the royal object of cult, was the venue
where past emperors used to worship Heaven and Earth. Countless literati have
left inscriptions and steles there, giving it the reputation as "A Natural
Museum of History and Art" of modern times.
Mount
Taishan is the cradle of Chinese culture and the most magnificent mountain under
heaven. With a height of 1,545 meters, its majesty and splendor is incomparable.
It is mainly made up of natural sights as well as man-made sights. The intense
grandeur from its mountainous bearing and spectacular breath-taking scenery
exudes sheer elegance, profundity and immense vastness while touching on
serenity merged with an air of mystery and tempestuous danger.
The
town of Qufu has three basic attractions: the Temple (built around the house
that Confucius grew up in, the largest Confucian temple in the world), the
"Confucian Forest" (the family cemetery where over 100,000 of
Confucius' descendants are buried in the last 2500 years), and the Confucius
Family Mansion where the descendants of Confucius lived a nobility.
