Field trip to Guangzhou: Discovering Community Change and Cultural Landscape

Students and teachers from the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Sociology and Community Studies program went on a field trip to Guangzhou from 15 to 16 April. They visited the major attractions in the area, such as Xiguan Dawu Culture Life Hall, Liwan Museum, Yong Qing Fang, Dafo Temple and Shamian Island, and learned about the changes in the Guangzhou community. Another highlight of the trip is to visit the newly opened Baietan GBA Art Center that combines three museums into one: Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, Guangdong Literature Museum and the Guangdong Museum of Art, and acquire a deeper understanding about the culture of the Greater Bay Area.
