This is an incredibly valuable experience, being able to serve our 'national treasure.' The internship included interesting and diverse tasks, such as cleaning the pandas' living areas, acting as an ambassador to guide visitors to visit the park, and designing promotional posters to promote the park. These work opportunities were unique and meaningful experiences since they were not available in Hong Kong, making my engagement in this summer internship work particularly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"824\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Ying-Ying-in-Wolong-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Ying-Ying-in-Wolong-3.png 824w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Ying-Ying-in-Wolong-3-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Ying-Ying-in-Wolong-3-768x564.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Ying-Ying-in-Wolong-3-552x405.png 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><figcaption>Hui Ying Ying served as the Education Ambassador of the Giant Panda National Park in Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"909\" height=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230808_031245000_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230808_031245000_iOS.jpg 909w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230808_031245000_iOS-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230808_031245000_iOS-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230808_031245000_iOS-552x621.jpg 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><figcaption>Giant Panda in Wolong National Nature Reserve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/20230726_011215000_iOS-552x414.jpg 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Hui Ying Ying said it was a delightful experience to care for our \"national treasure\".<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, working at the Giant Panda National Park has been incredibly beneficial for me.

This internship has not only deepened my understanding of panda conservation efforts but has also shed light on the impact of tourism development on the surrounding environment and local community. The experience has been invaluable in expanding my knowledge and shaping my future career path.
