After a full day of conference sessions, why not slow down and hop aboard Hong Kong’s iconic double-decker tram for a relaxing ride? The Tram Party is a special experience curated exclusively for ACPE conference attendees. This two-hour journey begins at the Whitty Street Tram Depot, glides along Hong Kong Island toward Causeway Bay, and returns along the same scenic route. Along the way, you’ll pass through some of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods, offering a vivid window into Hong Kong’s unique charm and vibrant urban landscape.
Join us on the “Ding Ding” tram to meet new peers, share conversations, and create lasting memories on this special ACPE journey. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Performances by the University Philharmonic Orchestra, Cultural Association, The University of Hong Kong (UPO, CA, HKU). Established in 1999, UPO, CA, HKU is one of the leading student-led university orchestras in Hong Kong. The Orchestra currently has over 100 members from different backgrounds, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as alumni, with Dr. Gabriel M. Leung as our music director.
The Orchestra aims at promoting Western classical music and providing a platform for musicians to develop and showcase their talents. We also strive to cultivate an atmosphere of music appreciation both within the University and throughout the community-at-large.
The Spring Concert in April to May and the Annual Performance in November have evolved into yearly traditions of the Orchestra. We are also frequently featured at university events organised by the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS), the Development and Alumni Affairs Office (DAAO), and various faculties, departments and societies within the University.
Beyond campus, the Orchestra actively engages in external collaborations. Recent highlights include partaking in the HKGNA Music Festival 2023, Ishin-Denshin 2024 by the Hong Kong Doujin Philharmonia (HKDP), and the UNNC Spring Concert 2025 by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China collaborated with the Ningbo Symphony Orchestra (NBSO).
