Customs YES co-organises "Where Rivers Meet the Sea: Customs History and Culture Exploration Tour to Tianjin" with Committee of Youth Activities in Hong Kong
Customs YES and the Committee of Youth Activities in Hong Kong co-organised the "Where Rivers Meet the Sea: Customs History and Culture Exploration Tour to Tianjin" from April 7 to today (April 11). Assistant Commissioner (Administration and Human Resource Development) of Customs and Excise Ms Phoebe Wong, together with members of the Honorary Presidents' Association and the Executive Committee of Customs YES, led a delegation of 40 Customs YES members to Tianjin to gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Tianjin's history and culture, as well as its technological development through cultural experiences, company visits and the exploration of its customs history.
The delegation first visited the Tianjin Xingang Customs Command Centre to learn about Tianjin's important historical role in external trade and shipping, and to understand the latest developments of modern customs in safeguarding national security and building Smart Customs. Delegation members were also briefed on the Smart Tianjin Port, gaining insights into the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, autonomous driving and high-precision positioning in the smart port, as well as the innovative advantages of green port construction.
The delegation then visited Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company Limited to learn about the final assembly process of A320-family aircraft and advanced aviation manufacturing technologies. Subsequently, the delegation visited the "Uprising of the Two Airlines" Exhibition Hall, gaining a deeper understanding of its significance to the country's civil aviation development, as well as the latest advancements in national aviation technology.
During the trip, members visited the Master Kong Dream Exploration Park to learn about the development of modern food industries and the achievements of national brands in food safety and research and development. They also paid a visit to Nankai University to engage in exchanges with local students, strengthening ties between youths of the two places.
The delegation also explored multiple historical and cultural landmarks during the tour, including the Memorial to Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao, Tianjin Huoyuanjia School and Jingwumen Chinese Wulin Park, enhancing members' understanding of the nation's revolutionary history and Tianjin's diverse and profound cultural heritage.
This study tour received partial funding from the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Youth Development Commission. Customs YES will continue to organise various exchange activities to promote youth development and foster a stronger sense of national identity and ethnic pride among its members.
