HONG KONG - Hu Hao, chief designer of China's third-phase lunar exploration project, shared his experience with more than 100 students, scientific researchers and scholars at the University of Hong Kong on Wednesday.

Hu is among a member of a delegation of national top aerospace scientists and engineers who are visiting Hong Kong this week, during which they would give face-to-face talks at some universities and secondary schools in the city.

According to the HKU's website, two other scientists – Long Lehao, chief designer of China's Long March Rockets Series; and Sun Zezhou, chief designer of Tianwen 1 – will also give talks at two lectures.

The scientists' delegation will also bring along soil samples collected from the moon during China's fifth lunar exploration mission in late 2020, local Chinese-language newspaper Ta Kung Pao reported. The lunar soil will be displayed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from Sunday through early July.
