In his speech, Fok said that with the establishment of the one-hour living circle in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong and Macao students can easily go to the mainland for exchanges, which can not only effectively solve the problem of Hong Kong's limited sports training venues, but also enhance the skills, broaden horizons and enhance friendship of young people through exchange activities.
