On 21 October 2025, the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at PolyU had the honour of hosting a 21-member delegation from the Beijing Society of Surveying and Mapping. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Prof. Wu CHEN, Head of LSGI.
The visit began with a fruitful meeting, during which representatives from both institutions exchanged insights on the latest managerial practices and discussed opportunities for future collaboration. The open dialogue fostered mutual understanding and set the stage for enhanced cooperation in the field of surveying and geo-informatics.
Following the meeting, the delegation toured three of LSGI’s state-of-the-art laboratories:
- Underground Utility Survey Laboratory: Ir Prof. Wallace Wai Lok LAI, Associate Head (Teaching) and Professor, demonstrated advanced underground utilities inspection systems.
- Survey Store and Instrumentation Laboratory: Prof. Guo-qiang SHI, Assistant Professor, introduced a variety of cutting-edge survey instruments.
- Laboratory for Smart City and Spatial Big Data Analytics: Prof. John Wen-zhong SHI showcased the latest research outputs and innovations in smart city technologies.
The visit provided an excellent platform for knowledge exchange and strengthened the ties between LSGI and the Beijing Society of Surveying and Mapping. Both parties look forward to future collaborations that will advance research and development in the field.
