About Ningbo

Ningbo is a historic coastal city in eastern China with a cultural legacy spanning over 7,000 years. As an important birthplace of maritime civilization along the ancient Maritime Silk Road, Ningbo has long served as a gateway connecting China with the world. The city enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. October, when the conference will be held, is one of the most pleasant months, featuring mild temperatures (18–25 °C), low humidity, and little rainfall. The city offers rich cultural and culinary experiences, including landmarks such as Tianyi Museum (the oldest existing private library in China), Dongqian Lake, and historic Buddhist sites, as well as its well-known Ningbo cuisine featuring fresh seafood and light, seasonal flavors. Together, the city’s history, livability, and vibrant urban life make it an ideal venue for the most important international congress on racket sports science.
