CUSEF Welcomes China Institute of America’s “Young Scholars” to Hong Kong

Students visited the West Kowloon Cultural District and posed for a group photo against the iconic backdrop of Victoria Harbour.
At the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, students traced the city's transformation from a modest fishing port into an international shipping centre.
Students explored the evolution of Hong Kong's public housing at Mei Ho House, a historic landmark in Sham Shui Po.

The China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) was honored to receive a student delegation from the China Institute of America on August 15, as part of the "Young Scholar Chinese Bridge 2026 University Program." The program brought students from 10 different American universities and high schools to China for a 17-day immersive language and cultural program, with CUSEF hosting the group for the last leg of their  journey.           

During their four-day visit to Hong Kong, CUSEF organized site visits to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Information Centre, Mei Ho House in Sham Shui Po, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, the M+ Museum at the West Kowloon Cultural District.

Prior to arriving in Hong Kong, the students began their journey in mainland China, studying Chinese language in Beijing and connecting with local students before traveling to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for further cultural exchange. Their final stop in Hong Kong offered another perspective on China,   giving the group an opportunity to gain a closer look at Hong Kong’s history, culture, economy, and unique role as a bridge between China and the wider world.
