A Glasgow schoolboy has been selected as one of five UK students to attend a summer school in Hong Kong.

Michael McGrade, who attends St Ninian's High School, was given a formal send-off to study at Hong Kong university summer school after winning a competition organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO).

With a theme "Hong Kong: A dream vacation destination for youth travellers!" the competition invited students to create a 48-hour travel itinerary for young travellers visiting Hong Kong, and to demonstrate Hong Kong's attractiveness as a destination for young travellers.

Entries received were in many different forms including essays, booklets, websites, Instagram pages, blogs and YouTube videos, and were judged based on content, creativity and presentation.

The five winners will be able to experience a taste of the city's world-class university life, as well as Hong Kong's cosmopolitan lifestyle and unique culture.

Director general of HKETO, Ms Priscilla To, said she was impressed by the quality of all the entries to this year's competition.

Ms To said: 'Hong Kong is a vibrant, fast-paced multicultural city packed with culture, heritage and attractions as well as wonderful scenery and sporting activities.

"From the frenetic centre of the city to the peaceful beaches and islands, Hong Kong has so much to offer to young travellers.

"Through the competition, UK students are encouraged to pursue their higher education studies or other exchange programmes in Hong Kong in the future."
