According to their Facebook page, Oct 18-22, 2023, are the new dates; the new venue is the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum (which is still under construction). Their website still shows the old information. Their website also still has no way to purchase a membership, although in order to nominate for the Hugos, one must have one by January 31.

The website still has the old dates. They're following the tradition
that only people who use Facebook deserve to know. The website devotes a
lot of its space to "Eastern Fantasy: A Metaverse Sci-Fi Fest," which
contributes to the same impression.
