In celebration of the 75^th Anniversary of New Asia College, and with the generous support of Mr. Charles Leung, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, the College organised the “Greater Bay Area Innovation, Technology and Cultural Tour” from 2 to 5 March 2025. Twelve students travelled to Shenzhen and Dongguan for a four-day-three-night journey to explore the region’s enterprises and cultural developments, as well as interacting with staff and students of our Sister College, Harmonia College.

During the tour, students visited four leading enterprises in the field of innovation and technology, including Tencent, OPPO, NIO and Skyworth. Through guided tours of showrooms, students learnt about the milestones of the companies’ technological development. With sharing sessions hosted by the enterprise representatives, students gained insights into the unique corporate culture and career development of each enterprise. Trials such as test-driving of NIO’s new energy vehicles and Tencent’s flight stimulator allowed students to experience different products.

From a cultural perspective, the group visited various cultural parks in the Greater Bay Area, such as Dafen Oil Painting Village, Nantou Ancient City and Keyuan in Dongguan. By sightseeing, students experienced the historical backgrounds and cultural revitalisation of the attractions.

The tour was warmly hosted by Harmonia College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). Representatives of the Sister College provided guided campus tours and shared their thoughts during the time. The students had the valuable opportunity to experience hostel life at night.
