finally here in HK

By Yun, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Business School – Hong Kong

I flew from my hometown back in mainland China, about a 2-hr flight from HK and I was lucky enought to see HKUST from the sky. What a beautiful university. My first impression of HK from the sky was how tall of a city it is. I had never seen such a big cluster of tall buildings all around the city. (27/08/2025)

After landing, I was immediately hit with the humid and hot weather that Hong Kong summers are known for.

A nice lady came to pick me up from the airport, and she barely spoke Mandarin, so I had to defend myself with my poor Cantonese LOL. I then arrived to my student hall and settled in.

The next days were filled with activities that the Office of Global Learning at HKUST organized for us, including:

• A welcome meal with Dim Sum, a classic of HK culture (29/08/2025):

• A Xiqu performance with dimsum (06/09/2025):

(13/08/2025) On September 13th, I visited Macau with my new exchange friends. The ferry journey is around 1hr.
