A delegation led by Mr. John Fan Kau Cheung, President of the Ning Po Residents Association, visited Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) on 9 April 2026. They were warmly received by Professor Alex Wai, JP, President and Vice-Chancellor; Dr. Albert Chau, Vice-President (Teaching and Learning); Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBU Foundation; and Dr. Amelia Lee, MH, Associate Dean of the School of Continuing Education and Acting Director of the College of International Education. To deepen the connection, four HKBU students who graduated from Ning Po College and Ning Po No.2 College also attended to share their campus life and learning experiences with the delegation.

Accompanied by the HKBU representatives, the delegation first toured the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity and its Village CARE (Creative Arena for Residential Education) to learn about the University’s state-of-the-art facilities for teaching, research, and student accommodation. They then visited the Visualization Research Centre, where they experienced the world’s first 360-degree immersive LED Visualization Cinema and the 180-degree iDome Cinema, enjoying the groundbreaking audiovisual effects.

Following the tour, Professor Alex Wai hosted a lunch in honour of the delegation. In his remarks, he expressed his sincere gratitude to the Ning Po Residents Association for its longstanding and generous support of the University, including its contributions to our projects such as the Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology. He also shared updates on HKBU’s latest strategic developments and achievements. Dr. Albert Chau introduced the University’s scholarships, financial aid, and student support initiatives, offering the delegation a deeper understanding of the diverse development opportunities available to HKBU students. The gathering provided a convivial atmosphere for in-depth exchanges on the University’s future development and potential collaborations.
