The two hosts, having traveled from Hong Kong, will venture beyond Nara to explore Kyoto and Osaka in this episode. Kyoto, with its ancient charm, is well-known to many in Hong Kong. Since the hosts aim to provide a unique and in-depth experience, the places they visit will be different from the usual tourist spots. They will take viewers away from the hustle and bustle to the outskirts of Kyoto, starting with a visit to a chestnut orchard to pick chestnuts. Next, they'll head to the famous Uji tea area, where they will participate in tea picking and a soba noodle-making experience. For cultural experiences, they will take part in a sumi ink-making workshop, highlighting the influence of Chinese culture. Interestingly, the works of famous Tang dynasty poets like Li Bai and Du Fu were highly regarded by the Japanese. Traveling is not just about sightseeing but also about enjoying food and shopping. The hosts will visit a 120-year-old shop that originally specialized in stage makeup products for geishas. They will also discover that the face oil paper we commonly use today was invented by this very company. As a nation adept at absorbing foreign cultures, Japan has embraced not only Chinese culture but also jazz music, which has a history of over a century in the country. Although the younger generation now shows less enthusiasm for jazz than previous generations, the music-loving hosts will still visit a jazz live house to experience the lingering charm of jazz.

The applications of small unmanned aircraft are rapidly expanding, now covering areas such as 3D digital mapping, search and rescue, aerial photography, drone shows, land and building surveys, as well as inspections of utilities and power lines. Various government departments have also adopted small drones to boost operational efficiency—for example, in supporting search and rescue missions by the Fire Services Department and the Civil Aid Service. Drone racing has also seen a rapid rise in popularity in recent years, emerging as a new sport that blends innovation, technology, and aviation. To support the development of small unmanned aircraft, the government introduced the Small Unmanned Aircraft Order, aimed at helping participants grasp essential operational theory and the latest regulatory requirements, enhance safety practices, and strengthen risk awareness. What impact has this regulation had on the industry, and how will the low-altitude economy evolve in the years ahead?

Hong Kong's wetlands are primarily located near the Inner Deep Bay, with Mai Po designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. Each year, over 100,000 waterbirds migrate to these wetlands to rest and refuel, including several globally endangered species. Earlier this year, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) launched public engagement activities for the proposed Sam Po Shue Wetland Conservation Park. However, environmental groups have raised concerns over recurring damage to protected wetlands in recent years, including illegal dumping and landfilling, which threaten bird habitats. Over the years, the government has used various approaches to conserve wetlands. How can these experiences help in building a comprehensive wetland conservation park system in the future?

On show at The Attic of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, “Dreamchasers: Stories of Hong Kong Art” presents works by four Hong Kong artists who embody both local tradition and innovation, and whose art is now an integral part of the museum’s collection. The four artists include Tong King-sum), Ha Bik-chuen, Rosanna Li and Gaylord Chan.

Award: Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence (Science Education Key Learning Area) School: Buddhist Wong Wan Tin College Awardees: Wong Ka-kui Wong Ka-Kui is a Chemistry teacher at the Buddhist Wong Wan Tin College for 14 years. His philosophy as a teacher is "walking alongside students." He introduces various learning experiences to students, helping them think out of the box and explore the infinite possibilities of science. In his class, Mr Wong often asks students questions, with the goal of encouraging them to "speak up", increasing their engagement. During lab sessions, Mr. Wong likes to mix students of different abilities in a group to foster interaction and mutual assistance, ensuring that every student can keep up with the progress. Each of Mr. Wong's students has a "Chemistry Bible." Students will tell us how they customize their personal bibles, and Mr. Wong shares how he creates "virtual classroom videos." Students participated in the Odyssey of the Mind that combines scientific creation with performance. It turns out that science can be a lot of fun. The program also interviews two of Mr. Wong's former students, who share how chemistry has changed their lives. They will also reminisce about the past and tell stories – a teacher personally delivered exam papers to students by car during the pandemic, and he also took mock exams with the students, answered students’ chemistry questions late into the night …. What drives this teacher to persistently "walk alongside" his students?

Hong Kong startups have been venturing into the Middle East in recent years, tapping into the emerging market with creativity and green technology. Vriko Yu is one of the founders of Archireef. By developing 3D printing technology to create a reef tray suitable for coral growth, it not only saves dying corals, but also pioneers the local marine conservation market. SleekFlow's Henson Tsai, on the other hand, has developed a one-stop instant messaging platform that combines various messaging applications such as SMS and live chat into a single, easy-to-use platform that enables a complete customer journey for more effective marketing, sales and customer service dialogue. Both of them have successfully penetrated the Middle East market and seized the first opportunity.

"March of the volunteers", the national anthem of China, is related to the bravery of Chinese young people resisting Japan's aggression of China. It was originally the theme song of the movie "Sons and Daughters in a Time of Storm" which depicts the heroic stories of young Chinese marching to the front line to defend their country against Japanese aggression.
