In conversation with them, the stall owner said that many members of the public welcomed the Government's lead in providing special offers, as well as encouraging various sectors to offer promotions in areas such as dining, shopping and transportation, on this joyous occasion of celebrating Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

Cooked food centres inside Hong Kong's markets are popular among citizens for their affordable prices. The foods and dishes with exceptional flavours offered at these centres have also attracted many tourists. As a food paradise, Hong Kong is renowned for its local delicacies that take a special position in the concept of "Tourism is everywhere in Hong Kong".

A rich array of special offers are being provided for members of the public to celebrate the 27th Anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The three Secretaries of Departments and Director of Bureau urge the public not to miss this opportunity and to take advantage of the various offers to enjoy a special and joyful holiday with their families.

Civil service secretary mrs ingrid yeung explores short video platform trends in beijing, emphasizes importance of information technology development for publicity and promotion

The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, began her visit in Beijing today (July 2). She called on the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council (HKMAO) and visited a short video live streaming platform company.

Mrs Yeung and the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Clement Leung, called on Deputy Director of the HKMAO Mr Wang Linggui in the morning and introduced to him the latest situation and work progress on civil service matters in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

Mrs Yeung and other officials went to the headquarters of Kuaishou in the afternoon where they toured around the office facilities and broadcasting centre. They also had a meeting with the senior executives of Beijing Kuaishou Technology Company Ltd to learn about the latest trends and experiences in short video and live streaming platforms.

She said, "With the advent of the 5G Internet era, various short video platforms have emerged and flourished, with short videos disseminating information at high speed and with an increasingly wide reach. In addition to e-commerce, live streaming platforms are now also being used for recruitment of certain jobs and even the promotion of public affairs. We should pay attention to the trend of development of information technology to gain a better understanding of it for inspirations in publicity and promotion."

Mrs Yeung will visit the School of Government of Peking University and attend the graduation ceremony of the inaugural cohort of the Master's Degree in Public Policy Programme co-organised by the HKSAR Government and Peking University for senior civil servants of the HKSAR tomorrow.
