******************************************************************************************
     With the support of the Guangdong Sub-Administration of the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China and the Macao Customs Service, Customs YES organised the Customs YES Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao Exchange Tour for Hundred Youths from August 10 to today (August 13), to facilitate cultural integration, broaden horizons and deepen understanding of customs work in the three regions of the participants. 

     The exchange tour commenced with the opening ceremony on August 10. In the morning, the participants experienced a variety of customs duties, including a Customs Detector Dogs demonstration, customs clearance simulations, and firearms training. In the evening, the participants underwent overnight training at the Hong Kong Customs College to develop their self-care abilities and team spirit. 

     The next day, the participants visited the giant pandas at Ocean Park Hong Kong to learn about conservation work in Hong Kong.

     On August 12, the group departed to Macao and visited the Academy of Public Security Forces and the Marine Enforcement Department of the Macao Customs Service. They also boarded a customs patrol vessel to learn about Macao Customs' work in maintaining maritime security and disaster rescue operations. In the evening, the group arrived in Guangzhou and took a night cruise on the Pearl River to experience the unique charm of the city.

     Today, the group visited the Canton Customs Museum and toured the Guangzhou Urban Planning Exhibition Center, gaining insights into the promotion of digitalisation, greening, and internationalisation in the urban planning in the Greater Bay Area. The exchange tour concluded in the afternoon with a closing ceremony where the youths from the three places shared their learning experiences and exchanged souvenirs, creating beautiful memories of the cross-regional friendships forged during this exchange tour.

     Customs YES will organise more exchange activities in the future to strengthen cross-regional connections and cultural exchanges, and deepen young people's understanding of the latest developments in the country and the opportunities and contributions of Hong Kong along the way.
