Students who participated in this visiting program expressed that they have benefited a lot from the trip. Through field visits in different cities such as Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai in the Greater Bay Area, they understood deeper about the area’s development and experienced the characteristics of each city. The co-ordination and alignment of corresponding development strategies and plans will help promote the sustainable development of the Greater Bay Area’s economy, society, and culture, and achieve a better future.
This visiting program was arranged for students and teachers from three higher education institutions in the Greater Bay Area. The participants visited eight cities in the area for a nine-day study trip. Through thematic lectures and discussions, field visits, and visits to historical and cultural sites, students knew more about the economic development, business environment, as well as the overall social and livelihood development of the Greater Bay Area, in order to equip themselves and seize future development opportunities.
