On Aug 26, Huangshan was officially included in the Hong Kong Education Bureau's list of recommended study tour cities, marking its debut on the mainland study tour circuit for Hong Kong students. This recognition highlights Huangshan's growing appeal in the educational market of Hong Kong.
Huangshan has been strengthening its ties with Hong Kong's educational sector by promoting its unique blend of natural and cultural attractions. In 2023, Huangshan officials visited Hong Kong, engaging with key institutions like the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Chinese University of Hong Kong to showcase the city's rich historical and cultural resources.
The "100 Hong Kong Principals Visit Mainland" tour allowed educators to explore Huangshan’s educational resources and gain insights into Huizhou’s traditional culture. Similarly, Hong Kong youth groups have visited Huangshan, delving into Huizhou culture, traditional architecture, and local cuisine.
Huangshan offers a diverse ecological and cultural landscape, providing an exceptional learning environment for students. The city plans to introduce direct charter flights from Hong Kong in winter and spring 2024, aiming to welcome more Hong Kong students to experience its unique charm.
Huangshan's inclusion on this prestigious list represents a significant step forward in enhancing educational exchanges and tourism between Hong Kong and Huangshan.
