We were honoured to visit the state-of-the-art Peking University Third Hospital and be able to compare the healthcare systems between Beijing and Hong Kong comprehensively. Among the highlights, we appreciated the eye-opening experience at the experiential learning lecture at The Institute of Mental Health, where the lecturer clearly demonstrated how to use therapeutic communication skills in diagnosing a patient who suffered from alcohol dependence and withdrawal syndrome. The simulated ward for Gynaecologic and Obstetric Nursing and the simulated operation theatre also enabled students to practice specialty nursing skills in a safe and well-equipped environment.

Our stay also included visits to the Summer Palace, the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Overall, the exchange programme was an invaluable, adventurous, and life-enriching experience that we will never forget.
