On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the The 6th International Symposium of Membrane Biology & The 15th National Symposium of Membrane Biology (ISMB2018) which runs from March 29- April 1 2018 in Huangshan, China. Twenty prominent invited speakers will talk about the latest progress in this exciting and quickly expanding field. The meeting venue, the Smoky Willow resort, is located within one of the most famous scenic areas of China and is about 40 minutes from Huangshan City (approximately 1100 km from Beijing and 400 km from Shanghai). Huangshan City, previously known as HuiZhou, is a famous ancient city. An old Chinese saying goes that “there will be no town if there is no Huizhou-style building and there will be no business if there is no merchant from Yixian County” (part of old HuiZhou). The meeting venue is also very close to Hongcun-Xidi village, a world cultural heritage site which is widely regarded as the traditional “village in a Chinese painting”. Other famous scenic sites nearby include Qiyun Mountain (one of four Taoist Holy Lands), Tunxi old street (built 1300 years ago in the Song dynasty) and the Tangyue memorial arch group. Most excitingly, three giant pandas are just a few hundred METERS away from the meeting venue!
