MGM China welcomed students from Ningxia to MGM COTAI over the weekend in order to help facilitate cultural exchange between Macau and mainland China. The experience aimed to broaden their horizons of the students and gave them in-depth knowledge of Macau’s rich East-meets-West cultural heritage, MGM said.
The Ningxia Student Summer Camp was co-organized by the Associação para a Promoção das Aspirações da Juventude Chinesa de Macau, Ningxia Youth Exchange Promotion Association, Ningxia Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Around 90 top students from Ningxia visited MGM COTAI on Sunday 15 July where they witnessed the world’s largest area of permanent indoor LED screens at the Spectacle, showcasing an exclusive array of digital art collected from around the globe.
The students then toured the MGM COTAI Art Collection to learn more about the more than 300 captivating artworks from world renowned artists that have seamlessly been integrated with MGM COTAI’s public spaces. The art guides also highlighted the significant meaning of the property’s Chairman’s Collection, rooted in Oriental aesthetics and with Western influences.
Ho Ka Lon, Standing Committee Member of the Ningxia Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said, “We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to MGM for welcoming us to experience this newest integrated resort hotel in Macau, to learn about how it integrates art and culture into its tourism offerings. We have built a memorable rapport with the students throughout our journey and we hope that this precious experience can motivate and inspire them to study and learn, thereby make meaningful contributions to society.”
