An integrated service mini-program developed by the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 recently invited users to go on virtual tours of Hong Kong to mark the 25th anniversary of its return to China in 1997.

The mini-program can be accessed through Alipay, a popular Chinese mobile payment app.

Through the program, users can tour Hong Kong's cultural and natural landmarks, such as Victoria Harbor, the Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, to learn about the city's scenic spots, heritage and history.

The tours were part of the Games' online torchbearer feature－"Running to 2022 and be the Asian Games torchbearer". A total of 64 online torchbearer routes around 19 cities across the world have been updated.

The mini-program records users' steps as they go about their daily activities, and for each route they finish by walking the corresponding distance, they will receive a certificate. After completing all the routes, users will have the opportunity to become an actual Asian Games torchbearer.
