Chinese Culture Immersion Programme
The Chinese Culture Immersion Programme offers students enriching experiences to explore and appreciate the depth of traditional Chinese culture. This initiative is thoughtfully divided into two parts: traditional Chinese arts performance series and local tours.
Through the performance series, students will have the chance to engage creatively and be inspired by the aesthetics, storytelling, and techniques of traditional Chinese arts. The local tours, meanwhile, provide opportunities for students to discover Hong Kong’s cultural landmarks and gain insights into their historical and societal significance. By participating in these diverse and engaging activities, students will develop a multifaceted understanding of Chinese culture, experiencing it from various perspectives and in different formats.
