Day 1: Arrival and First Impressions
On the first day, CWK students assembled at Hong Kong International Airport and departed for Singapore. Upon arrival at Singapore Changi Airport, the group proceeded to visit Merlion Park and the Esplanade. These iconic landmarks offered students an opportunity to appreciate the cultural and architectural symbols of the city. They learned that the Merlion represents Singapore’s identity, and they gained an impression of the city’s beauty, modernity, and vibrancy. The students also conducted brief interviews with foreign visitors to enhance their intercultural awareness. Afterwards, they checked into their hotel for a short rest. In the evening, they practised route navigation skills, an activity that fostered independence and alertness during travel. Although the day was long and tiring, everyone remained enthusiastic and eager to begin their study tour experience.
