A group of some 80 students and teaching members from eight local universities take part in the training camp.

Training camp encompasses a visit to the military museum at the PLA Macao Garrison Barracks in Taipa, in order to gain better grasps on Chinese modern and contemporary history, development of the PLA and history of PLA troops stationing in Macao.
