To help freshmen acclimatise to their new environment and make the most of university, Lingnan University organised the Campus Life Carnival on 11 September 2024. The carnival featured over 40 promotional booths set up by students, university’s units and teams, and various units, all aiming to help freshmen adjust to university life and foster mutual support network. Freshmen watched wonderful performances by student groups, such as the Lion Dance & Martial Arts Team, Judo Team, and the Music Society. More than 1,000 students participated in this joyful event. 

The carnival kicks off with a traditional Chinese lion dance to celebrate the start of a new academic year.
