^{Harrow School Haikou}

HAIKOU, China, July 6, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

“The Best House of the International Week is the Rudolf House!”

Recently, surrounded by cheering classmates, Emma, head of the Rudolf House at Harrow Haikou, delivered her appreciation speech naturally and gracefully with a smile on her face.

Harrow School is the birthplace of the “House system” that also inspired the House system in the famous fantasy world of Harry Potter. Harrow Haikou has inherited this long-lasting tradition. Located in Haikou City, which is in the northern part of Hainan — China’s largest free trade port, Harrow Haikou is the first renowned brand of international education in the city. The school covers a total construction area of 75,000 square meters and includes Harrow Innovation Leadership Academies Haikou, Harrow International Schools, and Harrow-Little Lions Childhood Development. Harrow Haikou can support up to 1,800 students, including 220 boarding school students. The whole Harrow Haikou system consists of full-time schools and boarding schools from kindergarten to high school.

Just a year ago, Emma was studying in a public school in Guangxi, China. Under the public school model of education, she felt that she had no chance to excel. As the pressure in her studies kept piling up on her, Emma became increasingly anxious. Emma’s parents decided to change environments so that she could better develop her personality and hobbies.

Since Emma started to study at Harrow Haikou, she has discovered many exciting courses to choose from. Without excessive exams and heaps of homework, she can now allocate more time to her hobbies and better develop her all-around capabilities. She has adapted to this new mode that focuses on self-discipline in learning and comprehensive development. For this reason, she is now more confident and happy.

Emma is just one of the students in Harrow Haikou that expects to make a change. Since Harrow Haikou officially open its doors in September 2020, it has attracted over 300 students like Emma from around the world to learn and live here.

As a well-known private school in the UK, Harrow Haikou excels with its unique experience and advantages in training students to be high-end talents. Seven British Prime Ministers are Harrow School alumni. As the fifth Harrow International School in Asia, Harrow Haikou is imbued with the same spirit as that of the Harrow School in the UK and is committed to cultivating students into outstanding talents with diverse strengths and powerful leadership skills.

Harrow Haikou is currently composed of Harrow International Schools and Harrow Innovation Leadership Academies which provide comprehensive education for kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, and high school. Harrow International Schools provide international courses to students with foreign passports (please note that at least one parent of each student is required to hold a foreign passport or Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card). Harrow Innovation Leadership Academies sets no limitations on the nationality of students and parents or household registration and will provide courses with Harrow characteristics under China’s laws and regulations and national curriculum standards.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) — Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has initiated a series of uniquely soothing sensory videos created under the 360 Hong Kong Moments, which have managed to capture and bottle the city’s auditory essence into highly immersive and pleasurable viewing experiences.

According to a statement, this summer, Hong Kong’s great outdoors will be very much within reach to those who reside abroad.

A highlight of the Great Outdoors Hong Kong (GOHK) 2021-2022 summer campaign, four distinctly themed Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos will each feature 30-second snapshots of dreamy environmental acoustics heard in far-flung corners of the city.

The videos are designed to stimulate the senses and heighten one’s sensitivity to the harmonic countryside symphonies, just a stone’s throw from the city.

ASMR in Peng Chau invokes a ship’s horn, a temple’s chimes and the hypnotic kau cim (shaking of fortune sticks), while swaying leaves, dripping waterfalls, chirping birds and flapping wings angle for attention in ASMR in Shing Mun Reservoir.

Both calming and provoking, the video series stars curious individuals exploring the outskirts of Hong Kong through a hyper-focused lens, and culminates in a three-minute magnum opus, bringing all the contrasting elements together into one beautifully euphoric whole.

The ASMR videos form part of the broader GOHK summer campaign, which will also showcase 13 seasonal routes, covering hiking and sightseeing destinations, island-hopping itineraries and water sports experiences.

The entire Great Outdoors Hong Kong 2021-2022 campaign is hosted on its own dedicated campaign website, and is packed to the brim with useful information, like insider tips, dining recommendations and transportation suggestions.

On top of the signature ASMR vignettes, the site features a colourful mix of photos, written itineraries and 13 videos-for-beginners, offering an overview and en route experiences about each seasonal route to inspire future trips.
