Beijing

No fewer than five ring roads, or concentric expressways, loop around China's sprawling capital, helping motorists navigate the city and its environs - including lots of infrastructure for meetings.

To wit: The China National Convention Center, in the Olympic Green, is a stone's throw from the National Stadium and National Aquatics Center. Those facilities, built for the 2008 Olympics, can be used as group venues.

A total of more than 10,000 hotel rooms can be found within three miles of the convention center.
