Hong Kong University of Science and Technology occupies an impressive 60-hectare site on the northern end of Clear Water Bay Peninsula at Tai Po Tsai. Housed in a waterfront complex overlooking Port Shelter, the campus provides breathtaking panoramic views of the sea from many different levels. When viewed from the sea, the University rises from the slopes like a shining white castle.
It is a dynamic research university with special emphasis on Science, Engineering and Management. In the ten short years since its official opening in 1991, it has become a leading university with significant international impact. With its exquisite scenery and state-of-the-art facilities, the campus provides an ideal teaching and learning environment. Attractions include the Red Bird Sundial, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Atrium, One-World-Fountain, and One Air Amphitheater.
