The Grand Canal’ Study Tour – Summer 2026

31 Aug 2026 (Mon)

 
From August 16th to 22nd, 2026, five undergraduate students from the Department of Media and Communication (COM) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) participated in the Grand Canal Study Tour. This event was co-hosted by COM and the School of Journalism and Communication at Nanjing Normal University (NNU) in Jiangsu.

During this seven-day trip, the students had an immersive experience exploring the origins of the Great Canal. The itinerary included visits to the China Grand Canal Museum and the National Cultural Park, as well as heritage sites such as Xijin Ferry and the Jingkou Sluice Site. These activities enriched their understanding of the development of waterborne transport in Mainland China.


Students from CityUHK COM and NNU visited the China Grand Canal Museum, a National First-Grade Museum in China.

The tour provided exceptional opportunities for students to refine their videography skills. Both CityUHK and NNU students were tasked with producing and submitting short videos documenting these visits, offering practical training to boost their success in communication. This initiative also aimed to enhance their storytelling abilities.

Looking forward, as one of the most international universities in the world, CityUHK COM is committed to expanding partnerships with prestigious global institutions. It will focus particularly on exchange opportunities and research collaborations, providing students with a professional learning environment that supports their future career planning.
