Other activities available for delegates on the Fellowship Day and after the Convocation are Macau and Shenzhen Excursion, the details are below:

Macau Excursion
A tour to the neighbouring enclave of Macau is an excursion to a Mediterranean town with historical and cultural flair. A 55-minute jetfoil boat ride across the South China Sea and the Pearl River estuary whisks visitors into Macau, located on the western side of the Pearl River Delta.
Under Portuguese sovereignty for four centuries, tiny Macau contains many historical monuments, including the famous facade of St. Paul's Church, its border gate with the motherland and the 14th-century Kun Yam Temple. There is also free time for individual exploration (Macau has two attractive offshore islands linked by bridge and causeway), or a gambling session in one of the non-stop casinos.

Shenzhen Excursion
The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone lies across the Hong Kong boundary on the other side of Shenzhen River, the natural dividing line between Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Mainland China. The morning tour includes transfer by tour bus or train to the boundary, where a road bridge leads into Shenzhen City. Stops in the city include a visit to a kindergarten (school days only) and a local free-trade market. Visitors also have the option of touring one of three theme parks in Shenzhen: Splendid China, the China Folk Culture Village and Windows of the World.
