LSGI Beijing Study Tour 2024

From 26 to 31 May 2024, a group of 10 students from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong (PolyU) embarked on a study tour to Beijing, China. During this trip, our students had the opportunity to visit and engage with their peers at the China University of Geosciences Beijing (CUGB), an institution renowned for its contributions to geographic information technology. 

Through the academic exchanges and discussions, our students were eager to share the latest research and cutting-edge technologies in the field of land surveying and geographic information systems. This valuable experience helped them broaden their knowledge and skills within these specialized domains.

In addition to the academic activities, our students also had the opportunity to explore the history and culture of mainland China. They visited a number of iconic places, including the Badaling Great Wall, the Palace Museum, the National Museum of China, and the Imperial College. This study tour provided our students with a valuable learning experience. It not only expanded their academic horizons, but also gave them a greater understanding and connection to China.

We are sincerely thankful for the warm hospitality extended by the CUGB staff and students. This study tour was an excellent opportunity for LSGI students to apply their newfound knowledge to their future studies and work, thereby contributing to the ongoing development of land surveying and geographic information fields.
