Students from Macao, HK explore Beijing

One hundred students from 16 universities from Hong Kong and Macao are visiting Beijing to experience the life and culture of the capital through July 26, sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Culture, the Hong Kong United Youth Association and the Macao Foundation.

Over a month, the students will work as interns at such arts and culture venues as the National Library, National Museum, the Palace Museum, National Museum of Art, China Film Museum and others.

They will also visit universities and have discussions with student counterparts in Beijing.

The annual summer program started in 2005 to help young people from Hong Kong and Macao to know more about the Chinese mainland and to promote the mutual understanding between students from the Chinese mainland and from Hong Kong and Macao.
