Shanghai-Hangzhou Sister Exchange Group

Date: 8–12 April, 2025
Teachers: Mr. Mok Ho Kei Jonathan, Ms. Lee Meng Wai, Ms. Cho Wing Tak
30 students from Secondary 2 and Secondary 4

During these five days, we visited Hangzhou and Shanghai, including a visit to Hangzhou Pengcheng High School, which helped us gain a deeper understanding of the culture of China’s Jiangnan region and witness China’s rapid development. On our journey, we explored the renowned West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda, famous in Chinese literature, and listened to our teachers share related poems and essays, enriching our knowledge of Chinese literature. Through the visit to our sister school, we not only learned about the local education system but also understood the importance of continuous innovation and self-preparation to meet the demands of the future world. In the water town of Wuzhen, we visited the former residence of Mao Dun, allowing us to connect closely with this giant of Chinese literature while experiencing the charm of the water town. In the latter part of the trip, we explored Shanghai, a captivating blend of Eastern and Western cultures, tradition, and modernity, which filled us with pride for our homeland’s progress. This diverse exchange trip was incredibly fun and educational, making it truly worthwhile.

上海杭州姊妹交流團

左穎德老師、莫浩基老師、李明慧老師,30位來自中二與中四的同學

這五天我們走訪了杭州與上海,更拜訪了杭州澎誠中學,使我們瞭解更多江南的文化,還看見中國飛躍的發展。旅途中,我們到了在中國文學中赫赫有名的西湖與雷峰塔,聽到老師講到相關的文章詩句,讓我們對中國文學增長了不少知識。透過拜訪姊妹學校,除了讓我們瞭解當地的教育情況,還從中學習到要不斷創新預計及裝備好自己,以應對未來世界的發展。走到水鄉烏鎮,我們參觀了茅盾故居,使我們能近距離接觸這個中國文壇巨人,也能體驗水鄉風情。走進旅程的後半段,我們看見了中西文化、傳統與現代化交織的上海,的確是迷人的,也讓我們因爲得以看見祖國的發展而感到自豪。對於這次多元的交流之旅,我們玩得十分開心,也學到不少的知識,真是十分值得。
