As a prize for winning 1st runner-up in the gender equity track of the 'Train' for Life's Journeys 2.0 competition held by MTR and Project M2, F.5T Natalie Cheung, F.5T Jamie Lo, F.5T Hayley Sze, and F.5A Olive Kuong joined a 4-day trip to Beijing from July 8-11. During the trip, they toured around the capital and visited many significant cultural attractions, engaged in company visits, and even had the opportunity to take a closer look at the operation of the Beijing MTR Corporation Centre Limited

During the visit to Beijing MTR Corporation Centre Limited, the students were able to take a guided tour of the building, which included the central control room, where staff monitor and manage the operations of the metro network. They also visited the factory where trains and railways are repaired. It was a fascinating glimpse into the planning, operations, and technology that keeps this crucial public transit network running smoothly.

Moreover, they went to the National Stadium and the Beijing National Aquatics Center. The students appreciated the enormous efforts needed to construct the symbolic and innovative 'water bubbles' design at the Water Cube and were overwhelmed by the large capacity of the Bird's Nest. It was an impactful experience as the students sensed the pride of holding competitions in such iconic locations, as well as the energy and thrill of Olympic events.
