hope clear water bay
Nansha Island
Connected across time and space
Seek common ground while reserving differences
multiple voices
Hongyi Zhiyuan
Keeping the Torch
Lead the world style of study
The source of wisdom is infinite
Integration of science, technology, business, literature and technology
Innovative light shines on the sun, moon and starry sky
Many students dare to be pioneers
Seeking progress and innovation, success in the near future
Eternal fragrance in the eventful years
Feelings of family and country in my heart
Work day and night to create the future together
HKUST enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad
