Team Building Challenge at Ocean Park
by a passion for knowledge and values that extended beyond the confines of textbooks . The shared lessons and collaborative exchanges became bridges , connecting us not only with the academic rigor of Hong Kong but also with the vibrant community spirit that defined Wah Yan College .
Our exploration extended beyond the confines of classrooms and lecture halls , leading us to iconic landmarks that defined the cultural landscape of Hong Kong . Climbing the 268 steps to Ngong Ping Village , we were greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of the Big Buddha , a testament to the spiritual richness embedded in Hong Kong ’ s heritage . The challenging ascent of Victoria Peak , while testing our physical endurance , rewarded us with breathtaking vistas of the city below .
Delving further into the cultural mosaic , our journey took us through vibrant local markets like the Stanley Market and Ladies Market . Here , the pulsating energy of Hong Kong ’ s diverse culture came alive . Engaging with local vendors , sampling delicacies , and immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere , we gained a profound understanding of the traditions and daily life of the community .
This IE trip was a crucible for personal and collective growth , focusing on the broader dimensions of cultural understanding , independence , and leadership development .
The educational institutions we visited served as catalysts for these transformative experiences , shaping our perspectives , fostering connections , and leaving an indelible imprint on our journey as Josephians .
