S5 Citizenship and Social Development Mainland Study Tour to Shenzhen

Date: 17/10/2026

Amidst the pleasant autumn weather of October, our S5 students stepped outside the classroom from October 16 to 17, 2026, for a 2-day, 1-night Citizenship and Social Development Mainland Study Tour to Shenzhen, gaining first-hand insights into the city's latest developments.

The two-day itinerary featured immersive learning experiences across several landmark destinations:

Day 1 Morning (Shenzhen Youth Activity Center)

Students visited the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Exchange Hall and Innovation Space to learn about youth exchange initiatives in the Greater Bay Area, gaining a clearer picture of Shenzhen's rapid technological growth.

Day 1 Afternoon (The Red Cube)

Exploring this major science and innovation hub, students tried out various interactive exhibits on new energy vehicles and telecommunications, experiencing firsthand how modern technology enhances everyday life.

Day 2 Morning (Gankeng Ancient Town)

This 350-year-old village has been beautifully restored to preserve its Hakka architecture, culinary traditions, and wedding customs. Apart from exploring cultural conservation efforts, students visited the Gankeng Cannon Tower to reflect on the heroic local resistance against foreign aggression during World War II.

Day 2 Afternoon (Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning)

Through comprehensive urban design exhibitions, students explored the transformative journey of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and witnessed the remarkable achievements of China's reform and opening-up policy.

The tour concluded safely on the evening of October 17, with students returning with broadened horizons and fresh insights. The success of this Mainland study tour relies heavily on the dedication and professional support of our entire team. We extend our deepest thanks to all S5 class teachers, accompanying teachers, Education Bureau accompanying officers, tour guides, and tour leaders. From the initial planning and logistics to the dedicated care and guidance provided to every student throughout the trip, everyone poured their hearts into making this journey a success. Thank you all for ensuring a safe, rewarding, and memorable learning experience for our S5 students.
