Shanghai Technology Study Tour – Company Tour

Shanghai, China

To deepen educational exchanges between Shanghai and Hong Kong, around 30 teachers and students from our school conducted a technology-themed study program in Shanghai from April 16th to 20th. During the trip, students explored top universities to experience academic excellence, participated in interactive classes at secondary schools, and engaged in diverse activities to appreciate the cultural heritage and vitality of this sci-tech innovation hub. 

On the third day of the technology study exchange program, we visited Fudan University, known as “the top university in Jiangnan.” Strolling along the plane tree-lined Guanghua Road, students immersed themselves in the scholarly ambiance of this century-old institution. At an exchange session with Hong Kong and Macau students, Fudan teachers and students warmly shared their academic journeys in Cantonese, recounting their efforts to gain admission to the university. 

In the afternoon, the group went to Shanghai Xin Fuxing Junior Middle School, where students from both cities collaborated in science workshops. Through fun experiments explaining Bernoulli’s principle, followed by a cross-regional volleyball friendly match described as a “youthful symphony,” lasting friendships were forged. 

On the fourth day, accompanied by the morning breeze along the Huangpu River, the group visited Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one of China’s “Twin Stars of Higher Education.” Walking through the “Tunnel of Time and Space” in the university’s history museum, students traced the institution’s legacy from its founding in 1896 as Nanyang Public School—established to revitalize the nation through industry—to viewing the manuscripts of Qian Xuesen’s “Two Bombs, One Satellite” project in the library. This journey through three centuries of scientific and educational patriotism broadened their perspectives.

Shanghai Technology Study Tour – School Exchange

Shanghai, China

China’s aerospace technology is advancing at a remarkable pace, with the domestically developed C919 passenger aircraft now in commercial service, carrying passengers across the skies.  

To provide students immersive learning opportunities, our school joined the “Shanghai New Productive Forces Study Tour” organized by Hong Kong 01 from April 16 to 20. A delegation of 29 students and faculty embarked on an educational journey to Shanghai, featuring in-depth field studies at COMAC’s C919 production facility, interactive sessions with industry leaders at Bilibili headquarters, and explorations of innovation hubs such as Zhangjiang Robot Valley and West Bund Media Port. The program also included academic exchanges with top-tier institutions—Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University—and cross-cultural dialogues with local high schools, fostering a holistic understanding of China’s technological and educational advancements.

The second day of the Shanghai Technology Study Tour focused on corporate visits, where we entered the core sites of Shanghai’s high-end manufacturing industry. From aviation to smart vehicle factories, digital media to innovation ecosystems, teachers and students gained up-close understanding of the “Intelligent Manufacturing in China” and its new quality productive forces, experiencing the surging momentum of a technologically powerful nation.  

At the COMAC Pudong Base, students witnessed the precision operations of the C919 final assembly line at zero distance. They were astonished to observe five C919 aircraft being assembled simultaneously, from the integration of fuselage structures to the installation of aviation systems and engine components, accompanied by detailed explanations from engineers. This allowed them to understand how the nation independently developed the C919 commercial airliner by breaking through technological blockades.  

In the afternoon, students visited the SAIC-GM automobile manufacturing plant. They marveled at the automated assembly line production, where over 90% of processes are completed with precision through coordinated industrial robotic arms and conveyor belts, significantly reducing manual labor while enhancing manufacturing accuracy. They also learned about China’s capability in independent manufacturing, from individual components to complete vehicles.  

The day concluded at Bilibili Headquarters (known as B Station), hailed as “China’s Youth Cultural Landmark.” The anime-themed dome and technology-driven exhibition halls immediately ignited students’ exploratory enthusiasm. Through the visit, they realized that new media serves not only as entertainment but also as a super engine for knowledge dissemination and a crucial channel for spreading Chinese culture.
