In Year 2022/23 there were different kinds of activities and workshop organised by the Office of Student Affairs which offered the host families and hostees a wide variety of gathering opportunities to get to know each other and create their own happy memories and touching stories. Students from different countries and host families have participated in different activities, such as local tours, handicraft workshop and barbeque party.

Kick-off Reception

In September 2022, the host families and hostees first met with each other at the Kick-off reception held on campus, listened to the touching sharing from the two participants of the scheme last year and enjoyed chatting with each other under a chill and relax atmosphere.

Pressed Flower Shadow Frame Workshop

The “Pressed Flower Shadow Frame Workshop” was held in late October 2022 for the participants to spend a relaxing evening together and embrace their inner artist by creating the beautiful floral artwork with host family members.

 Chilling Out under the Sunset–Star Ferry “World Star” Harbour Cruise Tour  

During the two hours tour, the participants explored the beauty of one of the world's most iconic skylines of Victoria Harbour and some of the eye-pleasing spots along the harbour under the spectacular sunset such as Tsang Ma Bridge, West Kowloon Cultural District and Tsuen Wan West Promenade.

Climb High and Look Far – The Peak Half-Day Tour

The higher you go, the more you see. Host families and hostees took a scenic ride on the historic Peak Tram heading to the world-class attraction - The Peak, offering spectacular panoramic views day and night over the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Besides enjoying the stunning view at the highest 360° viewing platform in the city, the participants also experienced the relaxing and delightful Peak Circle Walk and visited one of the most stylish architectural icons in Hong Kong “The Peak Tower” together.

Grill and Chill – Barbeque Night on Friday

As a great ending to Lingnan Host Family Scheme 2022/23, Instead of sightseeing, the host families and hostees seated around the fire and enjoyed the crowd-pleasing Hong Kong-style barbeque together. Although the LHFS 2022/23 is come to an end, the close relationship between host families and hostees will probably never end.
