From 3 to 5 July 2026, a team of 12 teachers led our S.5 students on an enriching three-day study tour to Huizhou and Shenzhen, focusing on historical culture and sustainable development.

Travelling via High Speed Rail, the group spent their first day in Huizhou exploring Huizhou West Lake and the Su Dongpo Memorial Hall. Through these visits, students immersed themselves in Lingnan’s iconic natural scenery and the profound literary legacy of Su Dongpo, gaining a deeper appreciation for the region's rich heritage.

On the second day, students visited the Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant to learn about China’s progress in clean energy, nuclear safety management, and cutting-edge technology. In the afternoon, the group toured Dapeng Fortress, where historical artifacts and ancient architecture deepened their understanding of Ming and Qing Dynasty coastal defense systems.

On the final day, the tour proceeded to the Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, where students gained inspiring insights into the heroic deeds of the Dongjiang Column during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The trip concluded at Guanlan Printmaking Village, where students observed the revitalization of ancient Hakka architecture and witnessed a harmonious blend of artistic innovation and heritage preservation.

This study tour offered both teachers and students valuable insights into national technological innovation, clean energy infrastructure, and their vital roles in safeguarding national security and sustainable development. Beyond fostering an innovative mindset, the journey encouraged students to reflect on heritage conservation and how to integrate traditional Chinese culture into their daily lives.
