In mid-June 2024, over 40 students from Choi Kai Yau College, Ma Man Kei and Lo Pak Sam College of the University of Macau, Lap Chee College of the University of Hong Kong, Weixin, Guantong, and Laitong Colleges of Zhejiang University gathered at the International Campus of Zhejiang University.
The opening ceremony of the “Zhejiang-Hong Kong-Macau” College Exchange Program was held at the Laitong College of Zhejiang University. Wu Xing, Director of the Student Affairs Office of the International Campus of Zhejiang University, delivered a welcome speech, reviewing the deep friendship among the three universities’ colleges and introducing the wonderful connection between the University of Macau and the International Campus of Zhejiang University.
The delegation from the three schools visited Haining, where they toured the leather exhibition center to learn about the history of Haining’s leather industry. At Zhejiang University, the students attended a lecture on digital transportation at the Optical Science Lab and visited the National Key Lab of Fluid Mechanics, where they showed great interest in the advanced research. The cultural discovery in Zhejiang offered students meaningful experiences. The students also visited the region’s cultural heritage museum, gaining insights into Zhejiang’s renowned landmarks and artifacts. A highlight was their time at the iconic West Lake, where they admired the serene beauty of the willow-lined shores and the famous Broken Bridge, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Through these cultural encounters, the students developed a deeper appreciation for the unique heritage and traditions of the Zhejiang region.
The “Zhejiang-Hong Kong-Macao” student exchange program enabled participants to not only broaden their academic and cultural knowledge, but also to forge deep, lasting friendships.
