   CONFERENCE VENUE

Shenyang is a major industrialized and prosperous city in the north-east China, and has embarked on the road of development towards the economic center in north-east Asia.

Shenyang is also a famous historical and cultural city in China. It has the distinction of being the only one to have historical interest. It is the cradle of the Manchus, and started as a trading centre for nomads as far back as the 11th century. Nurhachu, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, moved his capital here in 1625. It became the leftover capital of the Qing Dynasty since the Manchu conquest of Beijing in 1644.


The Imperial Palace is a typical scenic spot in Shenyang. It was built by Nurhachu, chief and his heir Huangtaiji (the predecessor of the Man nationality). It is well-known for its strong characteristics of Manchu, Mongolian and Han styles. It has possessed a huge collection of valuable palace cultural relics of Qing dynasty, for example, "The Tiger-veined Double-Edged Sword" of Nurhachu.

The 2003 National Joint Symposium on Computational Linguistics (JSCL-2003) will be held in August 8-11, Harbin, another famous city in north-east China. All participants of ICCPOL-2003 are welcome to join JSCL-2003.
