You may need a visa to enter China, and the nearest airport is Shenzhen Airport. Being so close to Hong Kong, you can also use the Hong Kong Airport. You may refer to the following link for information related to travelling from Hong Kong Airport to Shenzhen (about 1 hour by coach): http://www.startinchina.com/shenzhen/transport/from_hong_kong_airport_to_shenzhen.html;

Shenzhen is a thriving entrepreneurial coastal city, is leading China’s modernization and development movement with a population of over 14 million and a growing expatriate community. As a young migrant city, Shenzhen “locals” come from all parts of China. You can find all kinds of Chinese food and dialects in Shenzhen, giving the city a uniquely diverse population. Located in the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong, the most vibrant province in China, Shenzhen is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macau, and only one hour by train from Guangzhou (Canton). Shenzhen’s subtropical climate makes for a green and lush environment with diverse wildlife. Although Shenzhen is a modern city, there are also many parks and gardens within the city. Surrounded by mountains, there are many hiking opportunities in and around the city. For more details of the city, please refer to the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen

Shenzhen Mangrove Nature Reserve is located in the northeastern coast of Shenzhen Bay. It is belongs to a Birds Nature Reserve (368 ha). There are 189 species of migratory birds to visit the site in winter. It is also a perfect place for people to hike, to watch birds, and to enjoy the nature. You can see the waterfront eco-park with meandering mangroves along the coast. Shenzhen Mangroves and Hong Kong Mai Po Nature Reserve are separated by a river. They together constitute the Shenzhen Bay wetland ecosystem and have become the most characteristic landscape of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border. We will pay a site visit during the conference.
