The GBA's technological landscape is nothing short of revolutionary. Tencent's “Digital Library Cave“ in Shenzhen's Nanshan Science Park is a prime example. By harnessing high-definition scanning, gaming-engine rendering, and dynamic lighting, Tencent has recreated an immersive and interactive experience to preserve and share the rich cultural heritage of the Mogao Grottoes.

　　This not only breathes new life into cultural heritage but also sets a precedent for using technology in education and tourism. As Nasar S A SH Alghanim, consul general of the State of Kuwait in Hong Kong, remarked, such innovations are “transforming how we engage with history and our daily life,“ highlighting the far-reaching implications for various sectors.

　　George Leung, CEO of SCOR Reinsurance Company (Asia) Limited., called the tour “beyond expectation,“ admitting his prior focus on GBA infrastructure projects had overshadowed its cutting-edge sectors like agricultural drones and biopharmaceuticals. “This trip reshaped my understanding. We are now considering recalibrating our business strategies to align with these emerging trends,“ he said.

　　Discussing XPeng AeroHT's futuristic flying cars, Johannes Hack, vice chairman of the European Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, praised the GBA's “determination and execution in advancing low-altitude economy,“ calling its “trial-and-error, rapid-iteration model“ a template for innovation. “Flying cars turn childhood dreams into reality,“ he told Xinhua.
