A series of fabulous programs were organized by the Mainland Alumni Association following its establishment earlier this year. On July 1, a group of HKUST mainland students and alumni celebrated the 15th Anniversary of the Reunification of Hong Kong at a carnival at Hong Kong Stadium.

The following week, HKUSTMAA organized a boat trip from Sai Kung. Nearly 30 alumni and their friends participated and enjoyed cool and refreshing water sports.

A German cuisine dinner gathering attracted nearly 30 mainland alumni and their friends in September and they all had an enjoyable time.

Hiking was surely not to be missed this fall. The hiking challenge comprised the first and second sections of the Wilson Trail on Hong Kong Island, all the way from Quarry Bay to Stanley.
