This study tour has deepened my understanding of the development of China's Greater Bay Area, particularly the advanced use of technology in daily life, such as mobile ordering, WeChat payment, and ride-hailing through apps. Additionally, the mainland places great importance on the integration of culture and business, with people increasingly value cultural heritage and cultural tourism. They also create culturally distinctive products to generate economic value. Regarding the cityscape, there are not only well-maintained green spaces and orderly buildings but also large-scale shopping malls that drive the economy. Overall, this study tour has allowed me to appreciate the historical and cultural significance of Nantou Ancient Town, as well as gain a better understanding of the urban development and cultural lifestyle in Shenzhen. Through various perspectives, I experienced local life and am grateful for the thoughtful arrangements and detailed explanations provided by our guide.

Through this study tour, I learned how the mainland promotes intangible cultural heritage, such as using QR codes to allow people to experience letterpress printing and create keychains. There are also museums that showcase the history and culture of plaques and revitalized communities that preserve buildings with historical significance while transforming them into tourist attractions with food courts and hotels. These experiences are worth considering for Hong Kong. I can also apply these experiences to my exercises and future work. I truly enjoyed this educational study tour, which was highly beneficial for me!
